How Much Is My Car Worth?

However, Ewald Venus Ford still strives to pay our customers as much as possible for their cars, trucks, and SUVs.

How Can I Make My Car Worth More In Trade In Value?
Getting the most for your car, truck, or SUV is essential to our customers at Ewald Venus Ford. So, our sales team has created an easy guide to ensure you get the highest trade in value possible at our used car dealership near you. Follow the steps below to make your car worth more in trade in value:
-
Cleaning and detailing your car, truck, or SUV. Our Max Allowance buyers consider your car’s condition when determining your trade in value. So, if your car is clean, it’s more attractive to our buyers at our used car dealership near you.
-
Get your routine maintenance up to date. You don’t need to spend much money to give your car, truck, or SUV a complete makeover before our buyers value your car at Ewald Venus Ford. But, if you complete routine maintenance and minor repairs, you could have more money in your pocket after our appraisal.
-
Provide service history paperwork. Any car repairs and maintenance records show Ewald Venus Ford that you take care of your car. You could ask your routine repair shop for the documents if you didn’t keep any receipts.
-
Complete any bodywork needed. Too many dents and scratches can decrease your trade in value. So, consider fixing them before coming to our used car dealership near you.
Is It Better To Fix A Car Before Trade In?
Yes, fixing your car before you trade it in is better. Minor repairs like replacing your lightbulb or changing your oil can result in a higher appraisal. If you trade in your car without fixing it up, you could have a lower appraisal.
Do Tires Affect Trade In Value?
Yes, tires can affect your trade in value. If your tires are in poor condition, your appraisal could be lower than expected. However, Ewald Venus Ford will value your car more if you have new tires in excellent condition.
