Stage your car

1. Just like selling your home, your vehicle should be as clean as you can get. Yes, dealers can tell if the vehicle’s performance is in good shape or not regardless of how clean it is but the better it looks could really go the extra mile when it comes to the offer price.

Fix the dings

1. You want to make the car look as new as possible and if that means spending a little money to get those dings on the exterior touched up it might be worth it if that means you’ll get more money back for your trade-in.

Have Receipts handy

1. Keeping records and receipts. If so, when the day arrives to finally trade your vehicle, you can show the dealer receipts for all the purchases and repair work done on the car. If the dealer questions the condition of a certain engine part or area of the car, you can backup your side with a receipt

Do some Competitive Research

1. Like I said before it is important to be informed before heading to the dealership
2. Visit multiple websites and check the value of similar vehicles with the same mileage while monitoring e-commerce sites to follow your car model’s auction price
3. Print all the information you find

Look for promotions

1. Offer on your trade-in can be affected by several factors, including current inventory and the likelihood the car will sell

Don’t Settle

1. Don’t agree to a deal if you don’t feel comfortable with it
