When buying a new or used car, you may wonder what to do with your current vehicle. At McLarty Volvo Cars of Little Rock, we accept trade-ins. If you never traded an old vehicle before, maybe now is the right time to start. A trade-in helps you save money on the purchase. Here are some idea for getting the most out of a trade-in.

Bringing and Necessary Documents

Don't forget any important paperwork, such as title and registration. Bring the title and registration with you. Signing over the title lets you transfer ownership. If you don't have the title, order a new one.

Provide Loan Information

It may be possible to work a trade-in deal when you still owe money on the car. Provide information about the loan, such as the balance, financing service, and more.

Caring for the Vehicle

Several factors contribute to getting the best value on a trade-in. Condition counts a great deal, so maintaining the car becomes necessary. If you brought the car to service technicians on schedule, trade-in time might deliver a payoff.

Driving safely and carefully helps. A Little Rock vehicle free of scratches, dings, and dents would be preferable.

Detailing the Car

The car should look as best as possible when bringing it to a dealership. Getting the exterior and interior cleaned would be a good plan. Go for a top-quality wash and wax, and make sure the interior receives a thorough vacuuming.

Use a Loan Valuation Tool

An online loan valuation tool could provide a ballpark figure about the trade-in value. The tool incorporates essential information, such as make, model, year, mileage, and condition, to come up with an estimate. Get an idea about what to expect by using a reliable tool.
