We've all been there. It's time to trade in your old vehicle, but you're sure you've forgotten something. Go over this helpful list curated by Ford of Northampton and streamline the trade-in process.
Wash Your Car – Inside and Out
A little bit of elbow grease goes a long way! Cleaning up your vehicle makes it much easier for dealership staff to identify what's a scratch, what's a dent, and what's just some dirt or road debris. Make sure your vehicle looks its best when you trade it in.
Ensure You Have All Personal Belongings
Garage door openers, parking permits, and leftover media like CDs can be common oversights when Northampton shoppers trade in their vehicles. Take the time to double-check and make sure everything you need makes it into your new vehicle.
Double Check Mechanical Issues
Taking care of that check engine light or replacing the tires before trade-in can help Amherst shoppers get the most for their trade-in. While tidying up any last-minute maintenance items can cost money, you might get a lot more for your vehicle.
Verify Paperwork
The last thing Holyoke shoppers should check for is paperwork. If you own your vehicle outright, ensure you have the title, registration, and other relevant paperwork (like maintenance records). If you're leasing your vehicle or still making payments, we'll just need a registration and payoff information. Bring all necessary documentation to the dealership when it's time to trade your vehicle in.
