Harness the Benefits of the Value Your Trade Tool at Paddock Chevrolet, Inc.

When you decide to trade in your vehicle for another one, it pays to take advantage of our dealership’s Value Your Trade tool. This special tool provides you with fast custom trade estimates that accurately assess the value of your vehicle so that you can know how much you’ll have to work with when purchasing another car, truck, or SUV. This tool takes the guesswork out of negotiating and allows the owner to get a fair value based on specific information. The Value Your Trade tool collects details about your model to provide an estimated trade-in value. The criteria reflect the Kelley Blue Book value that represents the standard in the industry.

Which Factors Determine the Trade-In Value?

Many factors influence your car’s trade-in value when using our Value Your Trade tool. Some considerations include the current value of comparable vehicles. Keep in mind that this number isn’t a static figure. The price can change depending on many factors, which may include your state and city. The technology uses real-time statistics collected for the local market.

The process of analyzing the value of the car only takes a few minutes and requires you to enter facts and observations that get tallied together. Some factors include the following:

Age of the Vehicle

The age of your trade-in model is significant to the value of your vehicle. In most cases, the value of your car declines as it ages. While it is true that some models may hold their value better than others as they age, a good rule of thumb is that the older the car, the less it’s worth as a trade-in. Buffalo dealerships tend to prefer to work with newer vehicles that they can sell for more money.

Mileage of Your Trade-In

The mileage on your trade-in has a significant impact on its value. Try to keep your mileage low, if possible, to ensure you get a better price. It’s also worth mentioning that lower mileage on older vehicles may make them a more attractive option that has a higher trade value. It would be best if you kept your mileage around 13,000 miles per year to get the optimal trade-in price from a dealership.

Maintenance History

The history of your vehicle’s maintenance also gets factored into the trade-in value. Models that receive the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and have documentation to prove their upkeep generally have a better trade-in value. You can keep track of all the regular maintenance visits you schedule by keeping your paperwork handy to show the dealership.

Vehicle’s Equipment

One factor that goes into the trade-in value of your car is the equipment featured in your model. This aspect is especially true of an automatic transmission. Other features that add value to your trade-in vehicle for Tonawanda drivers include premium interiors, sunroofs, upgraded sound systems, and all-wheel drive.
