How to Prepare Your Car For Trade-In

-

Deciding to trade in your current vehicle for a different one is a big decision, but it is a great way to upgrade to a new vehicle you really love. Trading in your car is typically a straightforward process, and can help you save a lot of money on a new car. Whether you are trading in your vehicle on a new car or just a new-to-you car, attention to detail matters. Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is here this week to help you get your car prepped and ready before you decide to make a trade!

Fix the Small Issues

It might seem unnecessary to get the small things fixed on your vehicle when you are just going to trade it in, but a small amount of money can make a big difference in its overall value. Check all the car’s lights, fluid levels, check for small dings and scratches, and consider getting an oil change or tire alignment. All of these things have the potential to increase the value of your vehicle and allow it to run more smoothly.

Wash and Detail

When trading in your car, you should always clean the vehicle, inside and out. Give it a thorough wash and a fresh coat of wax for a great first impression. On the interior, clean it from floor to ceiling. Take out all of your personal belongings and vacuum it. If you do not want to clean it yourself, you can always pay someone to detail it for you.

Do Your Own Inspection

Before taking your vehicle to the dealership, do your own inspection. Look for exterior dents and dings that cannot be buffed out with at-home products. Take your vehicle for a drive and pay attention to the small details such as rattling or a noise that may seem out of place. If there are any issues at all, take note before your trade in.

Have the Important Paperwork

Before you trade in a vehicle, gather all of the important paperwork and documents for the vehicle. This will be things like the car’s title, registration, service records, and anything else a potential buyer might want to see. Cars that are well taken care of with scheduled maintenance and well-kept records will retain a higher value. If you are not able to gather a record history, don’t worry because we can do it for you!

Grab Any Extras

Bring extra sets of keys or other accessories such as additional floor mats along with the vehicle. If the navigation system has a DVD or SD card associated with it, be sure to bring those items as well. Dealers will not give credit for those features if they are not with the vehicle at the trade in.

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar...
