So, you've decided to buy a new car. Congratulations! But what do you do about your current vehicle? A great way to get your old car off your hands-and add some more cash toward your new car's down payment-is to trade it in. If you're looking to trade in your vehicle, there are a number of ways you can increase its value.

If you'd like to learn what you can do to bolster the value of your trade-in around the New Holland, Lancaster, and Lititz, areas, just read this guide brought to you by New Holland Auto Group.



Look Up Your Car's Value

Before you sell your car, it's important to know how much it's worth on the market. That's why it's crucial to look up your car's value with a value calculator tool. There are many factors to consider that can affect car value as well. Some of the factors to keep in mind include:

  • The car's mileage
  • The car's year
  • The condition of the car
  • The demand for that make and model

Make Sure Your Car Is Maintained

Cars need regular maintenance, and drivers want to make sure they're buying a vehicle that's in great condition. That's why you want to stay up to date on your car's maintenance needs-that means getting your oil changes and replacing your wearable parts when they're needed.

It's essential to have your vehicle regularly inspected to make sure you're catching parts before they break. When you're planning on selling your car, it's a good idea to have it inspected beforehand so you can perform any necessary repairs. If your vehicle has a recall, it's vital for you to get these repairs done before selling it so that it's handled when the buyer sees it.

You may also want to provide documentation of your car's service history. This can provide potential buyers with peace of mind knowing what services your car had received before it reached them.


Take Care of Any Dents On Your Car

Beyond core repairs, it's also a good idea to touch up your vehicle's appearance with some bodywork. That's why you want to make sure you visit a body shop that can take out minor dents along your car to give it a more stylish appearance. It's also a good idea to have any scratches you may have on your car painted over.

While it may be a small issue, having your car cleaned can be important too. Buyers may turn away from a car that has clear signs of a dirty interior. Having your car detailed can be a huge help in getting it clean. It's also a good idea not to smoke inside your car to prevent unpleasant smells from settling into your upholstery.
