Get Top Dollar On Your Trade-In With These Tips

Clean, Clean, Clean! – One way to ensure you will maximize profits is through thoroughly cleaning your vehicle.  Giving the exterior a wash and wax will bring out a shine to catch the eye and allow you to visually inspect any scratches or dings you may not have noticed.   Giving the interior a deep clean and vacuum will show that the vehicle was cared for.  Don’t want to do the cleaning yourself?  You can always bring it to someone to be detailed to perfection!

Fix Small Issues – There are small improvements you can make to your vehicle to get a better payout.  Do you have dead light bulbs that need replacing?  Do various fluid levels need topping off?  These are easy fixes to do yourself while leaving larger repairs to an experienced technician.

Gather Your Paperwork – Collecting all relevant paperwork to your vehicle will ensure the whole process goes smoothly.  Your vehicle’s title and registration for legal ownership transfer, valid paperwork, and proof of ownership, are important.  If you have service records you can also bring those to show that the vehicle has been well maintained!

Bring Any Extras – When you purchased your vehicle, did you receive extra keys?  Are there DVDs or SD cards that go with features inside of your vehicle?  Bringing those extra accessories means that a dealership doesn’t have to replace them and will hopefully mean more for your trade-in.
