Getting the Most out of Your Trade In


Tips For Getting the Most out of your Trade

When you are getting ready to trade your car, truck or suv the back and forth about what your trade is worth can be a headache.  

You could be trading it is for many reasons.  It may be running perfectly fine, but your family has outgrown it.  It may not be running that great and you are sinking money into repairs to keep it on the road and keep it safe.  Or, it could be you just want something newer.

In order to get the best trade in value here are a few steps you should take before getting an appraisal.

1.  Clean it.  Either do it yourself or have it detailed.  Wash it and sweep it out. Give it a good coat of wax.  

2.  Check your fluids and fix any minor repairs.

3.  Know what you owe.  If you are still making payments call your lean holder and ask what the payoff is on your vehicle.

4.  Visit Kelly Blue Book online and be honest with the condition of your car so that you can have a range of what your vehicle is possibly worth.  Know that the number you get is a sight unseen estimate.

5.  Bring any extra keys and/or fobs.  Also, if you have an owners manual have that as well.

6.  Bring any documentation with you.  By this we mean title, repair receipts and repair history.  

7.  Call Rankl & Ries and set up a time to come in and test drive and get an onsite appraisal.

We hope these tips help.
