Trade Value – What Is It?

It refers to what a dealership will pay you for your vehicle to help you finance or lease a new or used vehicle. The value you receive will not be the same as what you paid for your vehicle, nor will it be the same as what you would receive if you sold it privately. Essentially, it's what your vehicle is worth on the used market minus any reconditioning the dealer might need to do.

Factors That Affect Trade-In Value

When trading in a vehicle, a variety of factors can affect its appraised value. Here are some important details to keep in mind.

  • Vehicle Make, Model, and Year: The appraisal value of a vehicle depends on its specifications.
  • Mileage: Generally, when you trade in a vehicle with low mileage, you will receive a higher trade-in value.
  • Vehicle's Condition: Several factors can reduce a vehicle's value, including wear and tear, scratches, dents, and malfunctioning warning lights.
  • Market Demand: Sedans and minivans generally sell slower than trucks and SUVs. You should keep in mind how these stock movements affect dealer prices.

The Best Way to Boost Your Vehicle's Trade-In Value

Keeping your vehicle in excellent condition will ensure that you get the highest value when you trade it in. Follow these steps:

  • Prepare your vehicle for the appraisal by cleaning it beforehand.
  • Repair all issues, even minor ones, like scratches and burned-out bulbs.
  • Be sure to bring the maintenance records of your vehicle to prove that it has been well-maintained.
  • Don't wait until your warranty expires or until you need a major repair.
