Have a vehicle you need to trade in before you can get a new car (or a car that's new to you)? Trading in your vehicle doesn't have to be complicated. Here at West Herr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Rochester, we want our customers to understand how exactly we value their trade. Keep reading to learn what you need to do before bringing your vehicle in and how we value your trade-in.

Your Vehicle's Condition

The bottom line is that the less we have to do to make your vehicle sellable (repairs, cleaning, paint job etc.) then the more it is worth to us. So you'll want to detail, or at least wash and vacuum, your car before receiving a trade-in quote from us. Consider fixing scratches and other minor flaws, as well, as this will make your vehicle look as good as new and worth more money than a dirty and scratched one.

Our Current Inventory

Your vehicle is worth more to us based on what our current inventory looks like. For example, if we have an abundance of vehicles similar to yours that have not sold, then we can't offer you a higher trade-in price. On the other hand, if we believe the likelihood of a sale for your vehicle is high, then we're more likely to offer you a higher price.

So why trade-in your vehicle?

You might be wondering why you should trade-in your vehicle with us, rather than with the other guys or attempt to sell it yourself. The biggest benefit for people to trade-in their vehicle with us is that it's much easier than trying to sell it yourself. Having to arrange test drives, inspections, communicating with potential buyers and taking time out of your busy schedule to take care of everything that needs to be done to sell your car is too much for most people.

If you have any more questions about trading in your vehicle, give us a call or drop by West Herr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Rochester at 4477 Ridge Rd W, Rochester, NY 14626. We look forward to serving our customers from Batavia and Monroe County!
