Sell or Trade Your Car Westerville OH

To Sell or to Trade?

The easiest way to answer the “should I sell or should I trade” question is to look at what you’re going to do after you’ve parted with your vehicle. If you don’t have any plans to replace the model with another vehicle, then selling makes sense. It’s a straightforward way to get rid of your vehicle while recouping its value.

If you do plan on moving to a new vehicle once you let go of your current one, though, then trading makes a lot more sense. With the trade-in process, you can put whatever value is in your current model towards your favorite new car!

How to Boost Trade-in Value

So, what factors determine the trade-in worth of your vehicle? And how can you boost the trade-in worth of your car? Well, the following factors are most important when trading in a vehicle:

• Make, model, and model year
• Mileage
• Overall condition

Our dealership is always looking to add to our used inventory, so we’re happy to accept any type of vehicle. If you’ve taken good care of your model through the years, you can look forward to a strong return on the value.

And if you know that you’re about to trade-in your car, there are a few steps you can take to boost the value. First, consider having the model cleaned. Both the interior and exterior should look as presentable as possible. In general, you want the vehicle to look like the type of car that might attract your attention in an inventory lot.

Secondly, be sure the model has recently received any services it might need. Whether it be an oil change, a tire rotation, or a part replacement—you want your model to be reliable and in good health when you trade it in.

Finally, have a vehicle history report with you. If your vehicle has been in an accident at any point, you can still trade the car in. The dealership will just want to see that any necessary services or repairs were executed after the accident occurred.
