The first step of trading in your car near Tampa is to know how to maximize your used car’s trade-in value. But how do you get the most out of your car trade-in? Check out some fundamental strategies below:
Don’t worry about getting the annual maintenance, as it’s more cost-effective for the dealership to perform that after the sale. That said, be sure to get your car detailed if its upholstery is beaten up, and take care to remove any grime from the console, dashboard, or door panels. It never hurts to give the exterior of your car a wax either!
Get an offer from one dealer, and then go to a different dealer and ask them to counter the original offer. Repeat this process until you get the sense that you’ve gotten the highest offer possible for your vehicle and accept it! Rest assured, Cox Chevrolet is quite competitive.
Once you’ve been given an offer, make sure that you negotiate the value of the trade-in separately. Sometimes dealerships will deduct the trade-in from the price of the vehicle and bury your offer in a dense contract, where they’ve snuck in some additional fees to offset the value of whatever offer you’ve been given. At the least, carefully review the contract for your next car at the negotiating table to make sure you’re really being given the trade-in value you’ve been offered, and rest assured, Cox Chevrolet prizes transparency during negotiations.
