4 Tips for Trading In a Car
- Clean it. Before heading over to the dealership to search for a new car, be sure to give you current car a little cleaning on the inside. It doesn’t have to be perfectly cleaned out, but do make sure that it looks good and is presentable just in case someone at the dealership wants to take a look at it’s interior.
- Wash it. The same goes for the exterior as the interior. Take your car through a local car wash before you head over to the dealership to consider a trade-in offer. The cleaner it looks and the better it looks will help you get more money for your trade-in.
- Repair dents. The dealership can use small dents on your vehicles exterior to justify a decreased trade-in value. To help avoid this problem, fix the small dents on your vehicle before you drive to the dealership to discuss trade-in value.
- Check your tires. Tires can play a role into how much you receive for a trade-in offer. Just like the rest of our car, you’ll want to make sure they are clean and presentable. The main factor when a dealership looks at them though is their condition. If their treads are completely worn down, your trade-in offer will be less than if they were new tires.
