And since our financing experts are ready to keep the financing as simple and hassle-free as possible, you have nothing to worry about when you shop with us. One of the most important things to consider when it comes to financing is the value of any trade-in vehicle you have since this directly impacts what you owe for your new vehicle and how much financing you need. That is why it is so important that you have a clear picture of what your trade is worth, which we can help you with.

How Do We Value Your Trade-In?

The value of your trade-in vehicle depends on a number of factors, which are all important to keep in mind and consider when shopping for your next ride. For starters, the age of your vehicle and how much mileage it has are major aspects that impact its overall value. This is where a lot of depreciation comes into play, and the difference from one year to the next, or 10,000 miles of driving on overall value, can be significant. The make and model of your ride are also important; the reality is that certain vehicles are more popular than others, and where there is greater demand, there can be greater value for you.

With that in mind, it is also important to consider any extra features and options your vehicle may have compared to its standard setup. Higher trim levels can add value since they initially cost more and deliver more vehicle features. Optional packages or other features—especially comfort and tech features inside—can also add more value to your trade-in. That is why it is so important that you know all of these things about your vehicle. Finally, there is the matter of the overall condition of your vehicle inside and out; this can include whether it has been in any collisions, any damage to the paint and windows, the state of its upholstery, and other factors that dictate overall condition.

Using the Edmunds True Market Value Tool

With all of these things in mind, when we provide you with an estimate for the value of your trade-in vehicle, we use the Edmunds True Market Value tool. This is an industry standard that helps provide a realistic and fair value for your ride. You can use this tool right now to get a great estimate for your trade-in value, but just remember to be honest and realistic about it—this is especially true when it comes to condition. “Outstanding” condition applies only to very rare, high-quality vehicles, so you are better off starting with “Clean” as the optimal condition and going from there. A vehicle in “Clean” condition is in great shape and needs no work; one in “Average” condition has some issues that need to be addressed with repairs, while “Rough” means it needs a lot of work. Be honest with condition, age, and mileage when using this tool to have a realistic idea of your vehicle’s worth.
