Trading-in your current vehicle can be a great way to earn money toward the purchase of a new Chevrolet vehicle from Ed Koehn Chevrolet. The advantages to trading-in your vehicle are many. In addition to getting a great offer for your trade-in, you can enjoy a seamless experience without any extra paperwork. Plus, in some situations, trading-in your vehicle may provide you with a tax benefit. Before you rush to the dealership to start the trade-in process, though, it's good to take a few moments to ensure everything is good to go.
Proper Maintenance
In most cases, a vehicle that has been well-maintained will fetch a higher value than one that has been neglected. If you've maintained your vehicle at our service center, then we'll already have your maintenance records available. However, if you've had the maintenance done elsewhere or you've done it yourself, it doesn't hurt to bring these records along for the trade-in specialist to review.
When it comes to the appearance of your vehicle, finding a balance is important. While your car doesn't have to look like it just came off the showroom floor in Rockford, MI, its good if it's been given a decent cleaning inside and out. The most important thing is that you remove any personal belongings so that they don't become misplaced.
Valuing Your Trade
Before you come to the dealership, you can use online trade valuation tools to get a general idea of the value of your vehicle. You can find these tools on our website, allowing you to get the process started before you ever set foot in our dealership. Of course, these tools aren't perfect, meaning that the final value will be determined once you bring your vehicle in for an appraisal.
Coming Prepared
At our dealership, we know that your time is valuable. That's why we encourage you to come to our dealership prepared with information about your trade-in to help make the process go faster. The most important information you can have is the vehicle's paperwork, such as the title and registration, so that it can be processed quickly after you trade-in your vehicle. This will help make the process smoother and get you on the road in your new car sooner.
