WHAT IS MY TRADE-IN WORTH?

Do you need to find out the value of your car? While you can always look up what your trade-in is worth, it’s easier to head to a trusted site and get an estimate online. First, you should know what to look for and how your car’s condition can impact your offer.

How Do I Find the Value of My Trade-In?

You can use Kelley Blue Book values to get an initial estimate on your vehicle. Simply enter the make, model, condition, and other information about your vehicle, and the tool will give you a trade-in value.

When you use Kelley Blue Book, the estimate may be higher or lower than you would receive if you got your vehicle appraised. To get an accurate estimate, visit Patriot Buick GMC to have an in-person appraisal.

What Do Appraisers Look For?

When valuing your trade, an appraiser will look at factors like your car’s history, trim, and any aesthetic problems. Your car’s history can encompass anything from weather exposure over the years to high mileage from your long, everyday commute.

Your trim package can also make more of a difference than you realize. Did you go all out and buy a car with the best options? Did you make any upgrades, and if you did, did you do it yourself or have it done professionally?

Many people think that a car’s aesthetic is the most important thing when it comes to an appraisal. While you may get more for a clean and undamaged sedan, you don’t need to put in the extra effort to make major repairs and upgrades. They may not help the value as much as you hope.
