Can I Boost Vehicle Value?

When you’re looking to trade in a car, you’re also likely interested in ways you can boost your vehicle’s value. So, that’s where we’ll start, with how to boost trade-in value.

There are a number of ways you can boost trade-in value, starting with cleaning and detailing. Over time, your vehicle has likely become a bit dirty on the interior and exterior. So, doing some cleaning can restore its appearance inside and out.

When your vehicle needs any service, providing it with what it needs prior to trading it in can also help maximize return. Doing so will help ensure everything is working properly from a mechanical perspective, able to easily pass eventual inspection.

How to Trade In a Car at a Dealership

Once you’ve prepped your car for trade in, you’ll be ready to move forward with the process. To do so, you’ll first need to identify a new vehicle that you want to take home.

Having found a new ride, you’ll then want to bring your vehicle into our dealership. Here, we’ll be able to take a look at the ride, inspecting it and making sure everything is working properly. From there, we’ll do some research into the vehicle’s worth on the marketplace.

Having compiled this information, we’ll be able to present you with an offer. If you want to accept this offer at any point, we’ll just need to look at your license, as well as the title and registration for the vehicle. Then, you’ll be ready to head home with your compensation.

Our Helpful Finance Department

When looking to make a trade in, you’ll be able to work with our experienced finance team. In sitting down with one of our financers, you’ll receive expert-level guidance not only with your trade-in, but also with the payment plan for your new vehicle. We’ll help ensure you go home with a deal you’re happy with regarding key terms and conditions such as:

Down payment
Monthly payment
Interest rate
Term length

When you’re looking to learn more about down payment, you may want to check out our Edmunds Trade-In tool. Using this, you can receive an estimate of your vehicle’s worth, which can help guide you in terms of the type of down payment you can put towards a new car.
