When Should I Consider Trading in My Vehicle?

Trading in your vehicle is a great way to get rid of your old ride without the hassle of trying to sell it yourself. At our dealership, we know that every car has a value and our goal is to make trading your car an easy, hassle-free process. However, if you are thinking about trading in your vehicle, it helps to know what to expect in advance. Here are a few factors to consider when assessing the value of your trade-in.

Mileage: Cars that are under 50k miles, even better under 30k, will get a better valuation than those with more miles.

Cleanliness: When it comes to displaying your car to a potential buyer, it is imperative for it to be spotless both inside and out.

Repairs: If your car needs work, you have the option of getting an estimate for the repairs beforehand, or leaving the expense to us, allowing our service technicians to make the necessary mechanical and cosmetic repairs.  

Market Research:  Examine the value of your vehicle with pertinent resources such as Black Book or Kelly Blue Book for a negotiable price.  But keep in mind that we must consider supplementary expenses such as repairs, reconditioning and current availability when assessing the value of your vehicle.

If you have questions regarding any aspect of our vehicle trade-in program, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you in any way.
