VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN: FAQs
Q:Â Should I fix my car before trading it in?
A: While it may come as a surprise if the car you intend to sell has major issues, we advise that you not fix them. While you may think it will hurt your trade-in value, you will likely spend more money on repairs than it’s worth. Our dealership team has the expertise and tools to service vehicles at a lower cost, so we can save by doing the job ourselves! That said, you might wonder, “Should I fix my car before trading in if I have small repairs?” If you’re working with small, inexpensive issues, it’s a good idea to fix your car before a trade. These tasks include cleaning, replacing bulbs, repairing scratches, and checking fluids. If you’re not sure about a repair, just ask!
Q: How do I get the best price for my car?
A:Â Beyond paying attention to the local market and picking a time to sell when your car’s value is high, the most effective way to get top-dollar for your vehicle is to keep up with routine care! Regular maintenance upholds the performance, efficiency, safety, and quality of your vehicle, so it will be in great shape when it’s time to sell. Best of all, following a routine service schedule will show up on your service record, which is a very strong bargaining chip when you’re looking to maximize your trade value!
Q: Can you trade in a car with payments left?
A:Â If you have a vehicle that you’re still making payments on but you want a new car, you might be curious about how to trade in a car that is not paid off. While it can be a bit complicated, learning how to trade in a car you still owe on is actually an easy task when you team up with experts like the ones at Matt Bowers INFINITI Metairie! First, you need to look at your equity. Do you owe more than the car is worth? If so, then you have negative equity. If your remaining payments are equal to less than the value of the vehicle, you have positive equity. With positive equity, you can easily trade your vehicle and use the proceeds to pay off your car loan and bolster your down payment.
If you want to trade in a car with payments left and negative equity, you’ll have a few more decisions to make. First and foremost, you’ll need to decide if selling your vehicle is financially viable. Sometimes, you’re too far underwater to make a trade. If you decide you’re ready to make the sale, you’ll have a few options. You can pay the balance of your loan in cash to wipe out your debt. While this is a straightforward solution, you may not have enough disposable income to accommodate such a large expense. The other more popular option is to roll over your debt. This is where you add the balance of your old loan to your new one. While it will increase your payments, it allows you to pay off both loans while enjoying a new model. Our financiers can help you determine the right course of action if you want to sell your car that has a loan balance.
