How Much Is Your Car Worth

Since you're considering upgrading your ride, you may be wondering how much is your car worth? The car you've been faithfully driving around Newark, Middletown, and Wilmington, Delaware, could yield a substantial amount to put towards a new ride. Let i.g. Burton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) of Newark show you how you can get the most from your older car.

How Do I Find the Trade-in Value

You can quickly find out the trade-in value of your car by using our Value Your Trade appraisal tool. This tool uses values derived from CARFAX and can set up an offer after you input all your car's information. You'll discover the estimated market value for your car and choose to trade it in or delay it to work on boosting the value.

Other resources can offer a sneak peek at the value. Check out Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds online to see what your car's value could be. Remember that the estimated market value can change due to market fluctuations, so the estimate could differ on the day you cement the deal.

How to Prepare Your Car for a Trade-in

Before you trade in your car, you must follow a few steps to get to the point where you can complete the transaction. This preparation can elevate the amount that you may receive and get it ready to appear in our used inventory.

Clean out your vehicle to show it in its best light. This involves removing all the garbage, personal effects, and peeling off any stickers. Personal effects include your chargers, blankets, gloves, maps, and more. You may even forget what you tucked into your car!

Once you've removed items and trash, it's time to use some elbow grease. Wipe down the dashboard, steering wheel, interior windows, and windshield. Vacuum the upholstery and mats. Then either take your car to a car wash or grab some brushes and soap and get to work.

If your car is relatively new, you may have electronic devices on board. You may store the addresses and phone numbers of your loved ones. To protect their privacy, erase the information from the devices.

Should I Schedule Service

Some minor issues may be affecting your car. This includes things you forgot to take care of like replacing wiper blades or scheduling that last oil change. It may be a good idea to schedule a multi-point inspection by our service crew to see which maintenance tasks you could cover.

Which Documents to Bring

When you take your car into our dealership for a trade-in, you'll need to bring important documents too. These include the car title, registration, and proof of insurance. Don't forget to bring all the sets of keys you've accumulated. You also should bring your driver's license, social security card, and a down payment if you're providing one.
