When it's
time to trade in your Corona
Toyota or other car, you might be a little stressed. If you still owe
money, you want to make sure that the trade-in value is a good deal for you,
and even if you don't owe on a loan, you want to get as much out of your
trade-in as possible. While we at the Moss Bros. car dealerships in Riverside, CA, are focused on
always ensuring that you walk away completely satisfied, we know that you
might feel a little unsure.
Here are a few tips we can offer for you to educate yourself before you bring
your trade-in to us.
- Mileage is important. A car
with low miles can be worth significantly more than a car with a lot
more miles, even if the lower mileage car has a few dings. Dings can be
fixed, but miles can't be replaced. The average American drives 12,000
miles a year, so consider that average when you look at your odometer.
- Trade-in values can differ,
depending on the situation. For example, you often won't get as much for
a trade-in as you would if you sold it to a private party, but you do
have the advantage of not having to deal with selling it yourself.
Different car dealerships will also offer different trade-in amounts for
the same car. We like to think we are generous in how we value
trade-ins.
- Contact us, ahead of time,
so we can give you an estimate of your trade-in value. This will
help prepare you and save time once you arrive at the dealership.
- Make sure your car is clean. A
clean, well-cared for car will be valued much higher than a car that's
not been well cared for.
- Be honest about the car's
condition. Don't tell us that your Temecula Toyota is perfect, if it's
not.
We can't wait to talk to you about your trade-in and help you drive out in
the best new car you can afford.
