Prepping Vehicle for Trade In

---

Before diving into the trade in process, the first thing you will want to do is prepare your car for trade-in a bit. Doing so will help ensure you maximize the return you receive for the vehicle. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to prep your ride, discussed below.

• Providing your ride with cleaning and detailing
• Fixing any bodywork where there may be dents and scratches
• Catching the vehicle up on service and maintenance
• Collecting documentation for services completed in the past

After you’ve prepped your vehicle for trade, you may also want to take advantage of our Edmunds Trade-in Calculator. This tool will provide you with an estimate of your car’s worth, giving you a rough idea as to the offer you can expect in return.

• Sedans

Offer and Acceptance

Having learned more about your old vehicle, we’ll arrive at an appraisal figure and be able to present you with an offer. If you’d like to accept our offer at any point, we’ll just need to take a look at:

This will allow us to confirm your ownership of the vehicle, moving towards deal completion.

After you’ve accepted our offer, we’ll just need to work through some documents and deal points related to down payment and other financial plan details. Then, you’ll just need to make a few signatures and you will be ready to head home in your new ride.
