A lot of things are changing, the seasons, the temperatures, the smells in the air. That means that October is a great month for you to get with the change and trade-in your old vehicle. Seriously, those cold temperatures are approaching and you don’t want to be stuck out in the cold with an old ride that is no longer reliable. This week we want to talk about what you should know when you’re getting ready to trade-in your old vehicle. Don’t stress – it’s fairly easy and won’t take much of your time! Check it out below and stop in to see us this October for some spectacularly spooky deals!

What’s the condition of your vehicle?

We base our trade appraisal on what type of condition your vehicle is in. The best way to get the most for your trade is by staging it. No, don’t fake it ‘til you make it, but you can make your vehicle look nice by cleaning it up a bit and it could lead to you getting a little more cash toward your old ride. So, spend a little more on that car wash and vacuum up all those crumbs! 

Got dings, dents, or missing paint?

If your old ride has any dings, dents, or missing paint – fix it up like new. These type of cosmetic damages can reduce the amount you’ll get for your trade all because you didn’t want to fix them. Trust us, spend the money to repair and get your money’s worth for your trade.

Regular service can go a long way.

Regularly servicing your vehicle will elongate the lifespan of your vehicle. It also makes dealers very happy when we get to take a peek under the hood and see that you have been taking very good care of ol’ Betsy.
