How do I get the most value from a trade in?

Trading your used car in Santa Clarita is an amazing way to save time and energy while getting outstanding value for your vehicle. Valencia Auto Center offers highly competitive trade in values for used cars. Our car dealership in Santa Clarita, CA is the ideal place for local drivers to trade their cars. But before you visit our Santa Clarita car dealership, let's review how to get the best offer possible for your used car. With many years of experience helping customers trade used cars, we have plenty of advice to share!

How do I get the most money out of a trade in?

When you trade in your car, your goal is to get the highest possible offer. And a little bit of preparation can go a long way towards boosting the value of your used car in Santa Clarita! Here are the most important steps to take to maximize your car's trade in value.

  • Research market values. It's essential to know what the fair market value of your used car is before you trade it. KBB and Edmunds both offer online pricing guides. Remember to be realistic with yourself and accurately assess your condition level. While these values are not set in stone, they are a fantastic reference point to understand the value of your used car.

  • Spruce up your car. At the bare minimum, an exterior wash and interior detailing will increase your trade in value. If your used car in Santa Clarita has any scratches, dents, or dings, making these minor repairs can pay off in your resale value. For more major issues, it's best to get a quote for the cost of repair from an independent mechanic. If the expense of repairing the car is less than the value the repairs would add, it's worthwhile to fix before you trade in your car. 

  • Visit our Santa Clarita car dealership for a complimentary appraisal. The Valencia Auto Center staff will review your vehicle to provide an offer as quickly as possible. We make it fast and easy for our customers to trade a used car. If you have any questions about our valuation process, we're happy to show you our homework! 

Do dealerships give you a fair trade in value?

Yes, our car dealership in Santa Clarita, CA extends appealing offers for used cars. Because we are a local dealer, we can offer higher trade in value than national vendors. There's less corporate overhead to account for when you work with a neighborhood dealership! You can expect a very fair price for your used car in Santa Clarita when you trade at Valencia Auto Center. If you're ready to discover the trade in value of your car, stop by our showroom today!
