How to Trade in a Car

Are you ready to take your brand-new boat down to Cleveland Pond for a quiet contemplative fishing trip? But you've just realized that your current vehicle doesn't have quite the towing capacity to get your boat to the water. Maybe it's time to trade in your current vehicle to us at Nissan 24.

If you've never traded in your vehicle before, or you just need a quick refresher, our team has put together this quick guide to help you from beginning to end. If you're in the Stoughton, Randall, or Brockton, MA, areas, make us your first stop for trading in your car.

Make Sure You've Done Your Prep Work

You didn't buy a boat that looked like it had been driven in for years, with coffee stains from when you had to stop on a dime and a glovebox full of emergency napkins. You bought a nice new boat. Even though you can't turn back time to when your car was new, there are a few things you can do to make it almost as good as new.

• First, Give It a Bath: Take your car to the carwash and make sure it is sparkling clean, give extra attention to areas that get dirtier the fastest-like wheel wells and running boards
• Next, Clear Out the Inside: Vacuum and empty out the inside, especially of your personal belongings-while we may let you know if we find them, do you really want to lose your spare charger
• Finally, Give It a Check-Up: Take your car to a service center and get a multi-point inspection so you know if there is anything that needs to be addressed immediately, or things you should notify us of when you come to trade it in.

Come and Chat With Us

When you arrive, let your salesman know you'll be trading in your car. They'll get the used car manager and an appraiser. We'll want to take a look at it ourselves while you browse the lot for your next vehicle. We'll look at things like:

• Exterior condition
• Interior condition
• Fluid levels and engine health
• Electronic functions

Once that's done, we'll bring you in to talk money. We'll give you our value, but, remember, you don't have to take the first offer you're given. Feel free to shop around. If you like the number we gave you, we can cut you a check, or you can drive your new car straight off the lot-and to the pond.
