How to Prep Your Trade-In at Curry Auto Center
Thinking about trading in your vehicle at Curry Auto Center in Bloomington, Indiana? It’s an easy process and a great way to save money on your next car. Taking these simple steps beforehand will make your trade-in experience even smoother. Here’s what to do before you make the trade at our dealership.
Gather Paperwork
Gather all your vehicle paperwork to bring with you to the dealership: title, registration, service records, financing information, accident reports, and any other relevant documents.Collect Keys, Manuals, and Other Items
If possible, bring along everything that originally came with your vehicle. Make sure you have the owner’s manual and every key and key fob. You’ll also want to track down the original floor mats, the spare tire, and anything else you might have removed from the vehicle. Including these things ensures a higher valuation for your trade-in.Clean the Vehicle
Deep cleaning, refurbishment, and repair costs are typically built into our trade-in offers, so don’t worry about doing these things yourself. However, you may still want to wash the exterior of your car, vacuum and wipe down the interior, and remove any trash to make a better impression when presenting your car to us to valuation. You should also remove all personal items from the vehicle so you don’t accidentally leave them behind.Research the Value
We’ll be sure to make you a fair offer for your vehicle, but you should also look it up online so you have an idea of how much it might be worth — that way you’ll know what to expect once we’ve assessed it and how much credit you’ll be able to put toward your next vehicle purchase.Make an Appointment
You can bring your vehicle in for a trade any time, but it’s best to call ahead for an appointment so we’re expecting you. That way the trade-in process will take less time and you’ll quickly be on your way home in your new vehicle!
