Vehicles with a younger model year normally have a higher value than others. This is not always true though, as sometimes older models can be rarer or more desired, such as when a feature or the model itself is no longer made and is still desirable.
Certain makes and models tend to last longer than others, which leads to them having a higher trade-in value. A truck, for example, typically has a higher trade-in value than a sedan, while a BMW typically has a higher trade-in value than a Kia.
A well-maintained vehicle has a higher trade-in value than one that requires a lot of maintenance work. If you’ve kept regular maintenance of your vehicle over the years, it will sell higher than if you had not.
Not all trim levels were created equal, which is why trim levels have different price points. The unique features of higher trim levels will receive a higher trade-in value than base trim levels of the same model and year.
Optional add-on accessories that you have in your current vehicle can also help raise your overall trade-in value. This also includes features or technology that you opted for on top of the chosen trim level.
The lower the amount of kilometres on your odometer, typically the higher the trade-in value can be. Maintenance work comes into play with this as well, as vehicles that have been driven often but were properly maintained and had the necessary parts replaced will typically get a higher trade-in value than vehicles that were driven the same amount but haven’t received maintenance work or replacement parts.
Absolutely! The payment you receive from trading in your vehicle can be used as a down payment towards buying a new or used vehicle from our inventory, or can be kept to do with what you will. By applying the payment to your new vehicle, you lower the overall loan and monthly payments, which helps make the process that much easier.
Yes, you can negotiate the offer we make on your vehicle. There is always room to negotiate, especially if you come to the process having done research and with evidence that your vehicle might be worth more than what we offer.
Along with looking over the factors above (the age, make and model, condition, trim level, add-ons, and odometer on your vehicle), our professionals will also assess your vehicle and see what maintenance work has been done on it in the past, as well as if it has been in any collisions or other incidents where it received damage. This allows us to give you an offer that is the best market value for your vehicle.
