How the Value Your Trade Tool Works

The Value Your Trade tool can be the first step of the trade-in process. If you have a ride you no longer need and want to use toward the value of your purchase, knowing the amount you can get for your ride can help you prepare for the next steps.

To use this tool, you simply enter some basic information about your vehicle, including the vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage, and overall condition. This allows the tool to create an estimated value based on these factors.


Steps to Prepare for a Trade-in

Now that you know how to use the Value Your Trade tool, what steps can you take to ensure you get the most in return for your vehicle?

There are steps you can take to prepare your vehicle for a trade-in. Here are a few to consider:

  • Clean the Exterior – Having your vehicle freshly washed and waxed to provide a clean appearance can go a long way in helping your value.
  • Clean the Interior – Making sure the interior is cleaned, polished, and vacuumed can help remove any unnecessary items from the inside of the vehicle.
  • Have an Inspection Completed – Allowing an expert to inspect your vehicle and confirm that the essential systems and parts all function properly can help you get a better value on your ride.
  • Repair Cosmetic Damage – You can have any noticeable dents, scratches, or blemishes removed and repaired to improve the exterior appearance of the vehicle.

Knowing these items can help you make the most of your ride and get the value that enables you to get the new ride that you want.
