How Dealers Value Your Trade-in Vehicle

Are you looking to get rid of your current car, truck or SUV before buying a new or used Ford from our inventory? Here at Lithia Springs Ford, we're here to help. We have an online trade appraisal tool that will value your car based on market value in just a few minutes. Many factors are taken into consideration, such as make, model, age, mileage and more, but there are other things that can affect the value of your vehicle.

Your Vehicle’s Condition

The bottom line? The less work that our team has to do to make your car salable — like interior cleaning, touching up dings in the paint, minor repairs, etc. — the more it's worth to us. You'll definitely want to wash, vacuum and detail your vehicle before driving down to our dealership to solidify your online quote. If your vehicle is presentable and clean, it will sell much more quickly than one that's dirty and scratched.

Our Current Inventory

When we determine the price of a trade-in, we also take into consideration what our current inventory looks like. For example, if you're looking to sell us your Ford Fusion but we have an abundance of Fusion models, our trade-in price probably won't be as much as you were hoping for. However, if we think that your vehicle is likely to sell quickly, you'll see our trade-in quote climb much higher.

Why Lithia Springs Ford?

Why should you sell to us? That's a good question — one that many people ask. We take the hassle out of attempting to sell the vehicle yourself. That means we'll arrange test drives, inspections and communication with potential buyers. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the money you received from your trade or sale. Value your trade today!
