How Do Dealerships Value My Trade?
Although your personal value for the on-road companion you’ve been driving may feel sky high, the monetary value of your model quickly depreciates shortly after it’s purchased. So, when the time comes to consider a trade-in at our Brown-Daub Kia dealership, do you know it will be valued?
With a wide range of services helping Easton, Allentown, and Quakertown, PA, our team is delighted to help you get the most value for your trade-in as possible.
Repairing Mechanical Problems
When you drop off your ride for an appraisal at our Lehigh County dealership, our appraiser will look over every aspect of your model, beginning with its mechanical functionality. If you’re aware of any known mechanical issues that need to be repaired, we suggest taking it to a shop as soon as you can to get them taken care of.
If you’re unsure whether there are any issues, it never hurts to check. Stop by our service center and we can help you find out the condition of your machine’s motor and its many components.
Clean, Clean, and Clean Some More
The appearance is just as important as what’s underneath. Depending on the age of your model, you may need to do minimal cleaning, but it’s the thought that counts. Consider going with a professional detail job to keep its cabin interior shiny and like new. It could also benefit from a thorough wash prior to your visit to our dealership.
In the same vein, you’ll want to make sure the exterior of the model is free of any serious wear and tear. Excessive dings and dents are likely to lower the trade-in value of your ride.
Timing Is Everything
One of the most vital aspects of the trade-in process comes into play with the timing of your trade-in. Think of it this way: Drivers are less likely to look for sporty models in the dead of winter compared to all-wheel drive machines. If your set of wheels carries a seasonal aura—like a convertible, for instance—you’re likely to receive higher trade-in value during spring and summer due to higher demand.
Most importantly, ask us when the best time is to trade in your daily driver. You may be looking to bring in a model that fares well year-round. If so, our team can help you pinpoint when that body style is highest in demand.
