Our dealership makes it easy, and with this guide on how to trade in a car, you can start the process today. Are you ready to experience a new way to drive?
Step 1: Find a New Car From Our Inventory
Before trading in your current vehicle, you’ll need to find a brand-new model to make the trade official. Luckily, our new inventory boasts the latest luxury vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, a brand you know and trust.
Browse our inventory online to see what we have available, and select the best model that suits your needs. From luxury sedans and sporty crossovers to well-equipped SUVs and more, we have a car for every type of driver.
Step 2: Value Your Trade-In Model
After you’ve selected your next dream vehicle, it’ll be time to determine how much your trade-in is worth. To make it easy, utilize our online appraisal tool.
In just a couple of minutes, you’ll receive an offer on your model! Here’s what you’ll do:
- Tell us about the car you’re planning on trading in. Make it easy by using your smartphone to scan your model’s vehicle identification number (VIN) barcode. You can also type in the VIN and submit photos.
- Answer a few questions about your model’s features and condition, so we can get a good idea of what we have to work with.
- Someone from our team will contact you with an offer. Then, all you’ll have to do is schedule an in-person inspection!
Step 3: Prepare Your Vehicle for the Trade-In
To ensure you get the most from your trade-in, some quick tasks will ensure you put its best face forward.
Consider the following before you visit our dealership for your inspection…
- Maintenance and repairs: If it’s been a while since your car’s last maintenance appointment, schedule one to ensure the vehicle is in good condition. If needed, you can also take some time to repair any minor issues like small dents.
- Clean and detail: Making sure the vehicle is thoroughly clean is another way you could increase its value. Use some elbow grease and detail the interior and exterior or hire a professional to do it for you. Don’t forget to remove any personal items!
Step 4: In-Person Car Inspection
The final step of trading in your car is to meet with one of our professionals for an in-person inspection. Once they compare your car to your trade-in report, you’ll be provided with a final offer. It’s up to you to choose whether to accept it or not!
If you do, a member of our financing team will apply its value to your new car payment plan, so you can drive away feeling confident!
