Understanding Trade-In Value

Trade-in value is the amount a dealership is willing to offer for your current vehicle when you purchase a new one. This value can be calculated based on various factors, like your car’s make, model, year, mileage, condition, and current market demand.

At Hebert’s Town and Country, we strive to offer fair and competitive trade-in values to our customers in Shreveport and the surrounding areas. We use industry-standard tools and our local market expertise to determine the most accurate value for your vehicle.

So how do you maximize your vehicle’s value? We’ve got a few tips to help you out.

How to Maximize Your Trade-In Value

To get the best deal on your trade-in, consider these tips:

Do Your Homework

Before visiting our dealership, research your vehicle’s value using online tools like Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds. This will give you a baseline for negotiations and help you understand your car’s worth in the current market.

Spruce Up Your Vehicle

First impressions matter. A clean, well-maintained vehicle can significantly boost its perceived value. Take the time to detail your car inside and out. Fix minor issues like interior stains or small dents if possible.

Gather Documentation

Collect all maintenance records, service history, and receipts for any recent repairs or upgrades. This documentation can demonstrate that you’ve taken good care of your vehicle, potentially increasing its value!

Time Your Trade-In Right

Consider market trends when trading in your vehicle. For example, four-wheel drive vehicles may fetch a higher price during winter months. At Hebert’s Town and Country, we’re always happy to discuss the best timing for your trade-in!

Be Honest About Your Car’s Condition

When valuing your trade, be upfront about any issues your vehicle may have. Our experienced team appreciates honesty and will work with you to provide a fair assessment.

The Trade-In Process at Hebert’s Town and Country

At our Shreveport dealership, we’ve streamlined the trade-in process to make it as smooth and transparent as possible:

  1. Online Valuation: Start by using our online trade-in calculator. This tool provides an initial estimate based on the information you provide about your vehicle.
  2. In-Person Appraisal: Visit our dealership for a comprehensive evaluation. Our expert appraisers will inspect your vehicle and consider factors that online tools can’t account for.
  3. Offer Presentation: We’ll present you with a fair offer based on our appraisal. Our team will explain how we arrived at this value and answer any questions you may have.
  4. Negotiation: If you feel our offer doesn’t meet your expectations, we’re open to discussion and aim to reach a mutually beneficial agreement!
  5. Finalization: Once we agree on a trade-in value, we’ll apply it to your new vehicle purchase, potentially lowering your down payment or monthly payments.
