Why Trade In Your Vehicle?

We’ll dive into how to trade in your vehicle in a moment (and one of the best ways to do that). First, though, let’s talk about why you should trade in your vehicle if you’re still on the fence about whether you should trade in or sell privately.

When it comes to selling your car privately, the first and most important thing to understand is that everything is on you. Parts of the process you’re used to having handled for you by the dealership when you trade in your vehicle must be handled by you when you sell privately.

Namely, that means lots of paperwork. It also means you need to be careful about who you sell to. You can check the reputation of the car dealerships you’re visiting online before going there, but you can’t check the reputation of the person you’re selling to in the same way.

When you sell to Kia of Orange Park, you get a ton of added convenience that you can’t get by selling your vehicle yourself. The entire process from beginning to end is guided by experts who know what they’re doing and can make everything easier.

How to Trade In Your Vehicle

Now that we’ve reviewed the benefits of trading in your vehicle, let’s talk about how to do it. Before anything else, you’ll want to get an idea of the estimated value of your vehicle using a source you can trust like Kelley Blue Book. Once you know that, you’ll have an idea of what you’re working with before you ever visit the dealership.

You’ll also typically be asked about the various options your trade-in has, so it will help to have already done this during the estimate phase. However, keep in mind that this is an estimate and will rarely be 100% accurate.

Next, you’ll want to get your car appraised. Think of this as the next step in the estimate process.

First, you get an estimate on paper. Next, you get a more accurate estimate via an appraisal of your actual vehicle. Your appraisal will be based on several factors including the car’s condition and features to the dealer’s inventory.

Once you’ve gotten your vehicle appraised, all that’s left is to close the deal and get your trade-in value based on your appraisal. Keep in mind that at Kia of Orange Park, you can get both the appraisal and sell your vehicle at the same time, cutting out a step or an extra trip to a dealer.
