How To Trade in Your Vehicle
Trading in your car doesn’t have to be a tricky process. Here are a few tips on how to make the trade-in process quick and easy here at Presidential Auto Leasing & Sales.
Get your paperwork ready
To get the most out of your trade-in deal, have your paperwork in order and on hand when you arrive at our dealership in Delray Beach. Have your vehicle’s title on hand when you bring it to the dealership. Make sure to have all documentation surrounding any accidents that your car has been in, as well as any repairs you had performed on your vehicle. On top of these paper trails, your car’s routine service records prove that you’ve been taking good care of your vehicle. If you’re recently replaced any parts of your car, such as the tires or brakes, bring us the receipts and we’ll factor it when evaluating your car’s trade-in value.
Polish it up
While your car doesn’t need to be perfect, it’s a good idea to give your car a thorough cleaning before you trade it in. Wash the exterior, throw away any litter in the cabin, and give the cabin a thorough vacuuming to whisk away any dust or pet hair. This is also a good time to clean out your vehicle’s infotainment system. Unpair your smartphone, cancel your data plan, and clear out your navigation settings, as applicable to your vehicle. If your vehicle has a Homelink transmitter for a garage door, check your owner’s manual for information on cutting the connection.
Tie up loose ends
If you’ve got unpaid tickets on your record, you won’t be able to transfer your car’s title. Depending on local laws, your unpaid tickets could even be turned over to a collection agency, which will seek payment from the person who owned the vehicle when the infraction occurred. Don’t let that be you — pay your tickets before you arrive at the dealership.
