How to Boost Your Car’s Trade-in Value
When you decide to acquire a new vehicle, you may need to make a decision regarding your existing vehicle. A trade-in could be a viable option for you. If you’re preparing for a trade-in, you’ll want to maximize the value you receive from your vehicle to put toward your new purchase.
Here at Feldman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CDJR), we can assist you with tips on how to boost your car’s trade-in value. Continue reading below to learn more.
Clean the Exterior
The first impression of your vehicle comes from its exterior. A clean vehicle is more appealing and attention-grabbing.
Start by giving your vehicle a thorough wash and wax. On the interior, vacuum and polish to make the vehicle as presentable as possible.
Take this time to also evaluate your vehicle for any blemishes, dents, or scratches that may need to be repaired.
Updated Service
After making your vehicle look presentable, ensure its functionality is up to par. Ensuring your vehicle is in good working condition is essential to retain its trade-in value.
Before the trade-in, update all maintenance. Get a fresh oil change, rotate the tires, top off all fluids, and replace filters.
These simple steps can significantly influence how a dealership values your vehicle.
Have the Vehicle Inspected
Having your vehicle inspected by a technician allows for a detailed check to ensure all systems are functioning correctly and that no significant repairs are needed.
Repair any advanced issues to improve trade-in value. An inspection prior to visiting a dealership prepares you for the trade-in process and provides knowledge of your vehicle's condition.
