Ways You Can Improve Your Vehicle’s Trade-In Value

Thorough Cleaning – A clean vehicle is an appealing one for potential customers. As such, we advise that you take the time to give your vehicle a thorough cleaning both inside and out. Not only will this help make it look fantastic, but it can also make sure you don’t leave any important items in the vehicle that you may forget without this step. 

Maintenance & Repairs – Much like a clean vehicle, the value of a vehicle that has been routinely maintained can be much more than one that hasn’t been. It also saves us time and resources to get the vehicle to our standards of resale. By bringing in a well-maintained vehicle, you can expect a greater value for your trade-in. 

Bring All Important Documentation – Potential customers want to have any relevant documentation available to them when they are looking at purchasing the vehicle you have traded with us. Items such as owner’s manuals, service history receipts, and anything else that a potential customer might want to know about the vehicle should be brought in during your trade-in appointment. You should also remember to bring the title of your vehicle with you to make the process quick and easy.
