How to Prepare Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM for Trade-In
Trading in your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM can help you lower the cost of your next vehicle. To get the best trade-in value, it’s essential to prepare your car, truck, or SUV properly. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to prepare your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM for a trade-in, ensuring you get the most for your vehicle at Jay Malone Motors.
Step 1: Clean Your Vehicle Inside and Out
First impressions matter when trading in your vehicle. A clean and well-maintained Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM will show the appraiser that you’ve taken good care of your car.
* Exterior: Wash and wax the exterior to give it a fresh, polished look.
* Interior: Vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and remove any personal items.
Step 2: Take Care of Basic Repairs and Maintenance
Dealerships will inspect the condition of your vehicle during the trade-in process. Fix minor issues to boost your car’s value:
* Change the oil if it’s due.
* Replace burnt-out lightbulbs.
* Check tire pressure and tread depth.
Step 3: Gather All Relevant Documents
Having your paperwork ready will streamline the trade-in process:
* Vehicle title (if paid off).
* Maintenance and repair records.
* Spare keys and the owner’s manual.
