Trade-In Your Vehicle at Mercedes-Benz Littleton

Did you know there are a number of factors that affect the value of your trade-in? The obvious checklist is the vehicle’s condition and how much mileage is on the odometer, but there are several other things you should know. The value of an old car can vary from dealership to dealership, and the value can also fluctuate depending on the time of year.

At Mercedes-Benz of Littleton, we work with you to give you the best value when you trade in your vehicle. We believe everyone should have the new car of their dreams, and trading in an old vehicle is a quick and easy way to lower the overall cost of a new vehicle or a pre-owned vehicle. In this helpful guide, we’ll go over how to trade in your car, give you tips for maximizing the value of your trade-in, and more. Read on to find out how a new car is more in line with your budget than you may have realized!

How Does it Work When You Trade a Car?

Basically, when you trade in your car near Denver, you’re selling it to the dealership, and then they calculate that value and take it off the price of a new or pre-owned vehicle you’d like to purchase. You can also trade in your old vehicle if you’d like to lease a vehicle.

Tips for Trading In Your Car

• Research your car’s value: Before you head to a dealership looking to trade in your old vehicle, you should look online to see how much your model (matching year and approximate mileage) often sells for. This helps you plan ahead and negotiate later. There are a number of sites that can tell you the value of your trade online, and we have a Kelley Blue Book instant cash offer tool on our website. You can enter either the VIN (vehicle identification number), your license plate, or the make and model.
• Clean and detail your car: A clean car will almost always be worth more when trading in because the dealer won’t need to spend time and labor cleaning it to be ready for the pre-owned lot. Take the time to clean out your vehicle to make it look as good as possible to increase your odds of getting the maximum trade-in value.
• Service Your Vehicle: If your car has any warning lights or strange noises, that will lower the value when you trade it in. Take it to a local, respected service center to fix any issues beforehand.
• Time Your Trade-In: During certain times of the year, demand for styles of vehicles (sedans, trucks, SUVs) will rise and fall. During your research, be sure to see when the most popular time is to trade in your specific style of vehicle.
• Negotiate Your Rate: Once you have all of the information about your vehicle, print it out and bring it with you to the dealership to work towards getting the best value for your trade-in vehicle. Having the data on hand will strengthen your case and secure you the best rates.

The Benefits of Trading in Your Car

New cars, pre-owned cars, and certified pre-owned vehicles are an investment and will require budgeting and planning. However, trading in your vehicle can lower the overall amount of the new vehicle and, therefore, lower your monthly payments, saving you money in the long run. Our sales team and finance center experts will work with you every step of the way to get you the best value for your trade-in and APR for monthly payments, too.
