Factors That Can Affect the Trade-In Value of Your Vehicle

  • Age

    The general rule of thumb is that the older the model year of your vehicle the less overall value it will have, but this isn’t always the case as sometimes certain model years have a higher market value due to their rarity or if they have features that are no longer available.

  • Make and Model

    Certain makes tend to have better longevity than others, while certain models will have different starting values, which means that both affect the trade-in value of your vehicle.

  • Condition

    Keeping your vehicle properly maintained while you own it will often lead to it having a higher trade-in value. This is because it costs less for whoever purchases it from you to get it road-ready and in optimal condition. Keeping record of any work you do is helpful, as you can bring that information to the table when you want to sell.

  • Trim Level

    Different trim levels offer different features, which affects the overall trade-in value. For example, having the top-tier trim level of your vehicle often means your vehicle will get a higher trade-in value than if it was the base trim level.

  • Add-Ons

    Accessories, be they additional features you opt for or items that accentuate your vehicle, can also raise the trade-in value. This is because they are typically not found in your vehicle, which is then reflected in the overall value of the vehicle.

  • Odometer

    Vehicles that have less kilometres on their odometer tend to have higher trade-in values than vehicles that have been driven a lot. This is because the vehicle has more of a chance to get wear and tear the more it is driven, and certain parts will also need replacing after being in the vehicle for a certain amount of kilometres, such as brake pads or engine filters.

Trade-In Appraisal FAQs

Can I increase my vehicle’s trade-in value?

The short answer is yes, you can! Putting in the required maintenance work it needs, as well as handling any cosmetic issues such as dents or scratches, are examples of how you can raise your vehicle’s trade-in value. Keeping a detailed service history also helps, as it allows you to negotiate a possibly higher offer when you can prove it has undergone regular servicing.

Are maintenance records mandatory for trading in my value?

While you do not necessarily need a record of the maintenance your current vehicle has had, having such with you when you go to trade in your vehicle can help position you better for a higher trade-in value.

How is the trade-in value of my vehicle determined?

Our staff takes in a lot of different factors when determining the value of your vehicle, including the ones listed above (age, make and model, condition, trim level, add-ons, and odometer) as well as the past maintenance history. Our team will thoroughly assess the vehicle as well before the offer is made in case there are other issues, such as cosmetic issues or the potential for needing replacement parts, that might arise.
