What Determines Trade-In Value?
Every vehicle has its past, and that past is what determines its trade-in value. These are the most significant factors that we take into consideration:
- Make, Model, and Year: Newer models in greater demand usually carry stronger trade-in values.
- Condition: Vehicles in top condition, inside and out, will fetch higher offers. Things like dents, scratches, or interior wear can affect the value.
- Mileage: Lower mileage generally means higher value, but a well-maintained, high-mileage vehicle can still shine.
- Service History: If you’ve kept up with oil changes, tire rotations, and routine maintenance, you’re in a good spot.
- Market Demand: Certain models and options (keep in mind AWD, hybrid technology, or heavy towing capacity) will have greater demand, boosting your trade value.
