Determining Car Value
Auto appraisers follow guidelines to give you a fair offer for your trade-in vehicle. This includes many different aspects of your car and how they come together to form a vehicle that other drivers will want. Three of the main factors include:
- Make and Model—This means who made your car and what exact model it is. A model that is popular with drivers will net you more trade-in credit!
- Model Year—The more recently your car was made, the more full-of-life it is. A young ride will be more appealing, making for a greater sale price.
- Mileage—Fewer miles on the odometer also lets drivers know your car is ready for more action.
These three facets of your car are set in stone. Luckily, there are even more parts of your ride that determine its overall value, and you can take action!
Boosting Trade-In Value
Getting the maximum potential value for your ride means making sure it’s in great condition. Condition is tied to both how it performs and how it looks. With a bit of work and effort, you can increase your car’s value and get even closer to your next ride.
Performance Condition
Making sure your car runs smoothly and safely is an important part of trading it in. Making sure your ride gets service and repairs when needed will mean it’s in good condition and ready for more adventures. When you get your ride serviced, be sure to keep a detailed record. It gives appraisers a better idea of the car’s condition.
Before you trade in your ride, have routine maintenance performed. A fresh oil change and tire rotation will save the dealer the effort, meaning you get more money offered for its trade.
Physical Condition
Looks are the first thing a potential buyer will notice. A shiny ride will draw the eye of many drivers, making it an important part of your trade-in process.
Take your car to a car detailer to get it professionally cleaned. They use specialized tools and cleaners to give your ride that like-new sheen again. It’s an easy way to get a boost in your trade-in offer.
