To make sure you get the most return for your trade-in, consider the following tips from us here at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Owings Mills, MD:
Do Your Research – There are a number of great tools online that can help you get a sense of what your vehicle may be worth in trade, but Kelley Blue Book generally is the most widely-used and accepted of them. Something to keep in mind, though, is that selling your vehicle to a private party and trading in your vehicle are not the same thing, so don't expect to see the same value in trade as you do in a private sale.
Clean Your Vehicle – The best way to make sure you get max money out of your trade is to give it a thorough cleaning before one of our dealers takes a look at it.
Get a Real Number – Someone here will eventually give you a fair value offer for your trade, but as with anything else in the car buying process, you are welcome to negotiate. Whether you're trading in a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Charger, we work hard to give fair value.
If you are thinking about buying a new vehicle this spring, come see us any time and we'll be happy to provide you a solid number for your trade!
