Dividing the trade-in process into steps will make knowing how to trade in a car less overwhelming. Break the process down into these steps:
Don’t go into an appraisal blind – do some research and find out the estimated trade-in value for your car. Websites like Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds Appraisal Tool can help you find a fair estimate. You can also use our value your trade estimator to get an idea what your vehicle is worth before your car is appraised. Keep in mind, the estimate of your trade-in is based on your vehicle’s make, model, and year, along with the current condition and maintenance history. Researching what others have earned for your make and model will also be beneficial.
The next step of trading in your car is the inspection and appraisal. This can be the most stressful part of the process because if the appraisal is low the dealership may not be able to resell the car. Keeping to a recommended maintenance schedule will increase the odds of your trade-in being accepted. Having a detailed report of repairs and maintenance done on your vehicle will help you get a higher appraisal. Also, make sure your vehicle has been cleaned thoroughly before the inspection.
When you’re learning how to trade in your car in Madison, getting multiple appraisals will make negotiating easier. Once you accept the offer from the dealership, you can put the money toward a new car down payment.
