« Smart Tips to Calculate Trade-In Values – Trade In TipsHow Dealers Calculate the Value of the Trade In – Trade In Tips
By admin
Car dealers do not perceive or calculate trade-in value the same way a consumer does. The manager of a car dealership will calculate a trade-in and assign a price by taking the following steps:
– The car’s exterior condition will be reviewed (body damage, the paint, etc).
– The trade in will be evaluated and driven for a mile or so
– Track the vehicle identification number VIN at CarFax.com
– Look at the mileage, transmission, under the hood
As far as curb appeal is concerned, mileage and the condition of the body are important facets of the trade in value.
