How to Get Your Car Ready for Trade-In

Fred Haas Toyota Country can help you get started if you’re looking to cash in or upgrade your vehicle! We want to buy your vehicle, even if you don’t buy one from us. Whether you’re looking for top dollar or want to trade for a new Toyota or pre-owned vehicle, our Toyota dealership near you in Houston is ready to help. Take a look at some useful tips below when preparing your vehicle for trade-in:

• Clean & Detail: It’s important to make sure your car looks neat and cared for. Washing the exterior and vacuuming out the interior are good first steps. Having the interior and exterior detailed is another great way to help your vehicle look its best.
• Inspect at Home: Inspecting your vehicle at home is an easy way to make sure your car is ready to trade-in. Checking that all fluids are filled and lights are working properly are simple steps you can do on your own.
• Repair & Replace: Minor fixes like tire and oil changes can make all the difference. Major repairs are better off handled by the dealership.
• Prepare Documents: Title and registration are a must-have but keeping a record of your car’s maintenance can help determine a better value for your vehicle.
• Extras & Accessories: Gather any extras like spare keys, floor mats, instruction manuals, and any other accessories you have as an added bonus when trying to get the max for your vehicle.
