Trade-In Tips: Check for Exterior Repairs
One of the first things that is noticeable about your vehicle is the exterior condition. You can see right away if a vehicle has any damages to the outside of the vehicle that could be repaired.
To maximize the trade-in value you can receive, you want the exterior of your vehicle to be clean and free from noticeable damage. Check for any dents, scratches, and blemishes on your vehicle and have them repaired before bringing your vehicle in for a trade-in.
Trade-In Tips: Inspection for Mechanical Parts
Beyond the appearance of your vehicle, it needs to function properly. Making sure the essential parts, such as the engine, transmission, and brakes, all work well can go a long way to maximizing the value of your trade-in and helping you get the best deal.
As part of the trade-in process, your vehicle will be inspected and evaluated by our team at our dealership. Before that, you can also have your vehicle inspected by a technician and have any repairs or maintenance addressed to ensure that these parts are working well and the vehicle is safe and ready for the road.
Trade-In Tips: Cleaning Your Vehicle
Finally, before you bring your vehicle to the dealership for a trade-in, making sure the vehicle is clean and presents well can also help you maximize value. In addition to addressing exterior repairs, having the vehicle washed and polished can give it a shiny and new look when you have it evaluated by our team.
The interior of your vehicle should also be clean and presentable. Vacuum the interior of the vehicle, including floor mats, seating, and any compartments. Polish the dashboard and any leather surfaces to add shine to the appearance.
