Valuing Your Vehicle
When you trade in your vehicle to us, you can use the money given to you as a down payment! To make sure you’re getting the fairest price possible—and the best down payment amount for your desired vehicle—you can value your vehicle in many ways:
- Our Value Your Trade Form: All you have to do is input your vehicle’s information on our form, and we’ll get back to you with the buy-back price.
- Browsing Local Markets:There may be a chance that your same vehicle is already in our used inventory. To see how much your vehicle is selling for currently, check our inventory.
- Get a Mechanic’s Opinion:Your vehicle’s operation plays a huge part in its value. Have a mechanic inspect your vehicle for a ballpark estimate.
- Professional Appraisal:Our dealership values your vehicle by appraising it. Essentially, it is a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s appearance, operation, and handling.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Appraisal
With so many ways to find out how much your car is worth, you’re probably wondering what you can do to get the fairest price across the board. In general, a well-maintained car will receive a higher trade-in value compared to one that’s not. With that being said, here’s how you can boost your car’s value. . .
Clean It Up
If you’ve had your car for many years, it has most likely seen some spills, lost items, or close run-ins with curbs. In order to get the interior and exterior of your vehicle looking fresh, you can take it through a car wash and have it professionally detailed.
If you prefer to take things into your own hands, grab your car-washing supplies for the exterior and the upholstery. Vacuuming the floors and carpets is a good idea, too. Make sure you check under all seats, in the trunk, and in pockets for any of your kids’ toys or any vacation memorabilia.
Refresh It at a Service Center
Taking your vehicle in for a service appointment before the appraisal is a great idea. Not only will you get it up to date with its needed services, but you can also make any necessary replacements or repairs during this time. We’d recommend focusing on these aspects:
- General Maintenance
- Cosmetic Damage
- Safety System Functionality
- Tires And Wiper Blades
- Engine Health
Buying a Chevy
As you’re trading in your current ride, you can begin financing your new or pre-owned Chevy!
We have a healthy selection of Chevy trucks, sedans, and SUVs for you to choose from as well. As your vehicle is being appraised, one of our automotive experts can take you for a test drive.
