Time to Upgrade Your Ride: How Should You Trade In?

When you’re eyeing a new vehicle, you’ll usually need to find an option to deal with your current ride, which usually involves selling to a private party or trading in. On paper, they both help you get money for your next cruiser—but wouldn’t you prefer an option with virtually no hassle and near-instant results? Stick with us today as we let you in on our top tips for trading in your vehicle for maximum value—and don’t forget to value your trade with us at Central Florida Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM (CDJR) in Orlando, FL.

But First…Why Should You Trade In?

When we said trading in is essentially hassle-free, we meant it. After all, think about how selling your car to a private buyer works—you start by estimating your ride’s value and then posting an ad online. Sometimes you’ll wait weeks to hear back (even longer if your guess on the value was off)—and even after hearing someone is interested, you now usually need to travel to meet with a stranger—and do you know if this person is credible and not a scam artist or someone with ill intentions? And even if everything checks out, there’s still the strong chance this person says “no,” and you’ll need to restart the entire process.

No need to deal with the headache scenario above, as we at Central FL CDJR cut out the risk and wait by wanting to buy your car today. For starters, we’ll calculate the value for you—and you won’t need to make any ads or travel far to meet us—instead, we’re always here and ready to make a deal near Kissimmee, FL. We’ll even give you time to choose between trading up to a fun new vehicle, like a Jeep Wrangler, or taking the money—no wrong answers here.

The Golden Tips: How to Maximize Your Car’s Value

Did you know you can perform a few quick steps to instantly boost your vehicle’s value? For example, try beautifying your curb appeal—specifically, take your car to the wash—and clean up any messy spots inside and out. By taking a quick 20 minutes to brush off some dirt and tidy up, you could earn a few extra hundred dollars when you value your ride.

Next, take care of the minor mechanical issues in your ride. You want to keep things cheap here to help ensure you come out ahead, so focus on buffering out mild scratches and dents or replacing a light. If you don’t plan to trade in your ride for a while, make sure you’re keeping up with your maintenance to help keep your ride’s value maximized. Also, if you notice any recalls, take care of them ASAP (our service center is happy to help with recalls free of charge).
