Boost Car's Trade-in Value
Boosting your car's trade-in value can be completed through a few simple steps. As you prepare to trade it in, you'll want to give it the best appearance possible. Taking it to the car wash, vacuuming the interior, and removing important items from the vehicle can be done easily.
Then, you'll want to locate different documents that pertain to your vehicle. You'll want to find the following:
- Car title
- Car registration
- Service records
- Receipts for recent vehicle purchases
Your service records will provide a good history on the maintenance you've kept up with throughout your ownership. A regularly maintained vehicle is likely to earn a higher appraisal value since there's more confidence that everything is up to date.
Speaking of updates, you may have gotten something added to your vehicle recently. Whether you've replaced a part or purchased something new, you'll want to find those receipts and bring them to your vehicle's appraisal. This new equipment may be another helpful element to boost your car's trade-in value.
Value Your Vehicle Trade-in
If you'd like to get an idea about your vehicle's worth before you bring it to us for an appraisal, you can access some different online tools that will help. We have a trade-in form on our website that's easy to complete and will be able to produce an offer. To use this form, you'll want to have the following info on hand:
- Your VIN (vehicle identification number) or license plate number
- Mileage
- Engine and drivetrain the vehicle is equipped with
- Photos of your vehicle
Then, our team will verify the information and move forward with an offer. If you agree to the offer, you can visit us for an in-person appraisal.
Additional Trade-in Steps
If you agree to our offer, there are a few other steps you'll want to take before bringing your vehicle here to exchange it. For starters, you'll want to make sure you've deleted any personal data from the technology systems on your vehicle. This may include:
- A garage door opener
- A navigation system
- An emergency assistance system
- Satellite radio subscription or similar
Ensuring that all is removed will provide added security as you pass the keys to a new driver.
Other items you'll want to remember to bring along include:
- The spare key
- Any accessories that came with the vehicle
Once everything is in place, you'll be ready for your vehicle's appraisal.
