Here’s what you need to know about maximizing your vehicle’s trade-in value:
Research What Your Used Car Is Worth
The first step is getting a reliable estimate for your vehicle. Once you know what you deserve, you’ll be less likely to settle for anything else. You can find estimates online, with Kelley Blue Book’s trade-in tool and NerdWallet. Or simply click here to get an Edmunds estimate – quick, convenient and from the comfort of home!
All you have to do is enter the following details to determine a reasonable price for your ride:
- Make & model
- Year
- Mileage
- Condition
- Zip code
If you decide to sell your car to an individual instead of a dealership, be sure to use the Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value tool. Keep in mind that lower mileage and regular maintenance go a long way in boosting your vehicle’s value.
Make A Good First Impression
Give your vehicle a thorough cleaning to ensure it looks its best! Be sure to clean it inside and out, checking each of these boxes:
- Vacuum the interior.
- Wash the body with a high-quality car detergent.
- Give the wheels a good scrub.
- Use an auto glass cleaner to remove streaks and residue from windows.
Depending on local market conditions, you may want to consider professional detailing to really help your vehicle stand out.
Maintenance Records Maximize Your Trade-In Value
Keeping up with routine maintenance is an important part of vehicle ownership. Be sure to retain receipts from each service appointment, including oil changes and tire rotations. This proof that you’ve kept your vehicle in tip-top shape will increase its value when the vehicle is sold. Be sure to hang on to receipts from professional cleanings or detailing services too!
Research The Best Deals
To ensure you get top dollar for your trade, get a few quotes and compare! Online car dealers like CarMax and Carvana can provide baseline estimates, but your local Ford dealership in York will likely beat their offers! Stop by today for an appraisal – right here near Rock Hill, South Carolina!
