Fiore VW’s Guide To Trading-In Your Vehicle:

Know Your Vehicle’s Value

Knowing your car’s worth can help you get a reasonable amount for your trade. If you are unsure of what your car is worth you could lose out. Do some research before stepping into the showroom and get a soft trade appraisal on our website through Kelley Blue Book. It’s a good idea to print out this appraisal and or have it available to pull up on your phone and bring it with you to the dealership so we know what you were appraised for.

Fix Up Your Vehicle

Any damage to your vehicle can lower the trade-in value, be sure to fix any cosmetic damage that could cost you money. Even a car wash and a vacuumed interior could help bring your trade-in value up a few dollars. Repairing minor scratches or small dents are simple touch ups that could really increase your vehicle’s value.

Know What To Expect

Sometimes there may be some wiggle room for your trade and sometimes there isn’t. It’s important to not feel pressured if a trade value is presented and you don’t like the offer. Working with our sales team can help get you in the right car for the right price. Have your paperwork in order if your offer is something you plan to accept, this could help the car buying process go much faster!
