How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Trade-In

Looking to cash in or upgrade your vehicle? Ryan Chevy wants to buy your vehicle, even if you don’t buy one from us! We want to help you get top dollar for your car or help you upgrade to a new Chevy or quality pre-owned vehicle! Take a look at some useful tips below when preparing your vehicle for trade-in:

• Clean & Detail: Washing the exterior and vacuuming out the interior are good first steps to making sure your car looks clean and cared for. Having the interior and exterior detailed is another great way to help your vehicle look its best.
• Inspect at Home: Inspecting your vehicle at home is an easy way to make sure your car is ready to trade-in. Checking that all fluids are filled and lights are working properly are steps you can do on your own.
• Repair & Replace: Simple fixes like tire and oil changes can make all the difference! Major repairs are better left to the dealership.
• Prepare Documents: Title and registration are required when trading in but keeping a record of your car’s maintenance can help determine a better value for your vehicle.
• Extras & Accessories: Gather any extras like spare keys, floor mats, instruction manuals, and any other accessories you have as an added bonus when trying to get the max for your vehicle.
