1. Get Your Vehicle Up to Date on Maintenance
Maintenance is the best thing you do for your vehicle to help it perform its best and last longer. So, whether it's time again to schedule an appointment or you have put it off recently, make sure to get everything up to date before trading in your vehicle.
A fresh oil change, rotated tires, and tune-up will help put your car's best face forward. Plus, it leaves less work for our service team to do when it's finally in our possession. That might mean a higher trade-in value for you.
2. Make Any Needed Repairs
While you're at the service center for your maintenance appointment, have the technicians look for any repairs that need to be performed. This could be a fresh set of brake pads, a tire repair, dent-removal, or anything that will help increase its value.
When a vehicle comes in for a pre-trade-in inspection, chances are that if the model looks well-cared for and needs little or no repairs, you'll be offered more for it.
3. Clean and Detail Your Trade-In
When you sell anything, you want it to look its best, and trading in your vehicle is no different. Whether you hire a professional detailer or strap on the rubber gloves yourself, make sure your vehicle is sparkling clean.
Make sure to clean the interior and exterior. Get into all those nooks and crannies, so it looks as close to new as possible. You also might want to take care of any stains on the interior upholstery. Don't forget to remove all your personal items as well!
4. Include All Original Equipment
Since you have purchased your vehicle, you have likely made some changes. If you happened to remove any of the original items, reinstall them if you can. This might very well elevate your final offer.
This may include removable third-row seats, entertainment systems with headphones, original floor mats, and more. If you have purchased any authentic accessories as well, leave them in if you can!
