• Ewald Takes Care of Paperwork. Selling your car can mean a lot of paperwork on your end. But, if you trade your car at Ewald Hartford Ford, our buyers will take care of everything for you.

What Increases A Trade In Value Of A Car?

Now that you know what your car trade in value is, what can you do to increase it? There are a few ways to ensure that you will get the best overall price for your car, truck, or SUV. Let’s look at how to improve your car trade in value.

• Bring the maintenance up to speed. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to give your car a complete makeover before trading it into Ewald Hartford Ford. But, if you complete routine maintenance and fix the minor problems, you could end up with more money in your pocket.

• Don’t forget the bodywork. Too many dents and scratches can reduce your car trade in value. So, consider getting them fixed before trading in.

• Provide service history documents. Any car maintenance and repairs record shows our dealership that you take care of your car. You could ask your repair shop for the documents if you didn’t keep the receipts.

• Detail your ride. Buyers are always interested in a well-maintained car. Cleaning your car also shows that you take good care of your car, truck, or SUV.

Does Trading In A Car Reduce Price? 

Yes, trading in your car will reduce the price of your next one if your car is worth more than your car loan. If you have paid off your car loan in full, the whole car trade in value will go towards your next car down payment. So, if you would like to save some money, consider trading your car at Ewald Hartford Ford.

What Happens If Your Trade In Is Worth More?

Suppose your car trade in value is worth more than your car loan, congrats! You can use your car trade in value to add to your downpayment for your next car at Ewald Hartford Ford.

How Does Trading In A Car Work If You Still Owe?

If you still owe money on your car loan, you can use your car trade in value to pay it off. The other option is to roll over your outstanding loan balance into your next car’s financing. Just know that trading your car into Ewald Hartford Ford won’t make your current car loan disappear.

How Do I Know If I Have Equity In My Car?

If you want to know if you have equity in your car, all you have to do is subtract the amount owed on your car loan from your car trade in value. You can get the value of your car using Ewald’s Max Allowance tool. Just enter your car’s make, model, year, and mileage to value your car.
