Steps to Selling Your Car to a Dealership

How to Boost Trade-In Value

---

Before trading your vehicle in, you may want to take some steps to help ensure you maximize the return you receive for it. This will prove fruitful whether you want to attribute everything you receive towards a down payment on a new car or want to pocket some and take it home.

Fortunately, there are some easy ways to raise the value of your vehicle.

• Cleaning and Detailing - The first way to do so is simply cleaning your car, inside and out. Whether you want to clean it at home or elect to seek out professional services, this can restore the appearance of the vehicle.
•  Service - When your vehicle is overdue for any service or maintenance, catching it up can also help boost vehicle value by making sure everything is working from a mechanical perspective.
