4 Tips for When You Go to Porsche Monmouth to Trade in a Car
1. Know the Car’s Value
It’s important to have an idea of how much your car is worth before you go to trade it in. To find out your car’s current value, you need to know your car’s exact make and model, and you’ll need to know the mileage that’s on it. You’ll also need to determine what condition it’s in. A little over half of trade-ins are in good condition. If your car is well-maintained, doesn’t need any repairs, and doesn’t have any major imperfections, then it’s likely in good condition, too.
Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds are two fantastic online resources you can use to figure out how much your car is worth at current market value. that will help you have reasonable expectations when you head to the dealer.
2. Have Your Documents Ready
Bring along your registration details, car title, loan details, and maintenance records. If you regularly visit the dealership you’re trading in at for routine maintenance, then they already have your maintenance records. They may also have your loan details if you financed your last car through them.
However, it’s a good idea to bring a copy of your maintenance records and loan details with you even if the dealer has them already, as it helps show the dealer that you mean serious business.
3. Get Your Car Looking Its Best
Before you head to the dealer, deep clean the inside of your car, and wash the outside, too, to make sure it looks its best. Curb appeal matters when you want to get the best deal possible.
4. Know the Price of the Car You Want
It’s a good idea to learn how much you’ll be paying for your new car before you agree on a trade-in price for your old one. That way you can make sure you’re 100% happy with both the price you’ll pay for your new car and the amount your trade-in will take off that asking price.
