Get an Inspection and Take Care of Any Mechanical Issues
One of the biggest reasons why rides lose value when it comes to trade-ins is because of mechanical issues. The best way to boost the value of your trade-in is to schedule a multi-point inspection. This will help you see what components on your set of wheels may need to be replaced or replenished.
If at this time you discover there are damaged parts, speak to a technician about what the cost of repairs may be. Sometimes, it pays to have the services performed before selling your ride to our dealership because of how much it can boost your its value.
Research the Trade-in Value
After performing the necessary mechanical services, you’ll want to take a look at the estimated value of similar models. Keep in mind though that every ride is different, even when they have the same model year and similar mileage. The estimated values are just a great way to give you a rough idea of what you can expect for your commuter.
Make Your Set of Wheels Shine
When you bring your trade-in to our dealership, you’ll want to ensure it looks as good as possible. Be sure to have the exterior shining before you bring it by for appraisal. While there, you’ll want to vacuum out the interior as well.
If you have any stains in your upholstery, you’ll want to take the time to treat them and repair any tears in the fabric. The more your ride looks like new, the more likely you are to boost its trade-in value.
Consider the Time of Year
One other factor you’ll want to pay attention when you’re trading in is the time of year. There are certain periods when specific models and features are in high demand over others.
For example, if you have an SUV with all-wheel drive, you’ll want to sell it in the winter months when the extra traction is in high demand. If instead you have a sportier roadster with a sunroof or even a convertible top, then consider trading in around the spring and summer if you can.
