If you’re thinking about your next ride around Saco, Scarborough, and Portland, ME, it’s always savvy to leverage your current ride for its value.

What Determines the Trade-In Value?

If you’ve taken good care of your vehicle over the years such as keeping up with routine service needs, it will improve the trade-in value of the model. In general, dealerships want to know the vehicle is going to be reliable for the next owner.

So variables like the condition, the mileage, and the exclusivity of the model are taken into account. At our dealership, we’re always looking to expand and improve upon our pre-owned lineup. We’ll be happy to offer strong value for whichever type of vehicle you have sitting in your driveway.

Auto Inspection

Ways To Improve Trade-In Value

If you’re trying to squeeze as much value as possible out of your vehicle, be sure to have the car thoroughly cleaned, both inside and out. You want the model to look as good as new when you bring it around to a dealership.

Further, have the model serviced if it is due for any oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, or other basic needs. Finally, a vehicle history report or some verification of the car’s prior services is extremely helpful. Knowing the model has been taken care of over the years will make it a more valuable proposition for the dealership taking it off your hands.
