4 Ways to Prepare Your Vehicle for a Trade-In

October 24, 2023 By Rokkit

Hey there, it looks like you’re ready to part ways with your trusty ol’ daily driver and upgrade to a shiny new ride or make some extra cash. But let’s not forget the small stuff, my friend! Maximising the value of your old chariot is crucial, and the ball is in your court.

So listen up because CMH Mazda Randburg has got all the tips to get you started on the vehicle trade-in process.

Clean the car inside-out

First things first, don’t be a slob! Give your car a good scrub inside and out, and slap on a layer of wax for that extra shine. Evict any smelly gym bags and fast-food wrappers, and thoroughly vacuum the cabin. If that sounds like too much work, get it detailed.

A sparkling car is sure to charm anyone into handing over more cash.

Ensure that your car is mechanically sound

Next up, channel your inner fairy god mechanic and check all the lights and fluids. Top off anything that needs it, but leave the major fixes to the pros at CMH Mazda Randburg.

Gather all the vehicle documents and extra accessories

Don’t forget to gather all the necessary documentation, including the title, service records, and registration. And when it comes to accessories, bring them all! Those extra keys and gadgets, and any digital assists, can add value to your trade-in.

Conduct a thorough vehicle inspection

Last but not least, inspect your car like Sherlock Holmes – take note of any irreparable dents, dings, or quirks, and give it a test drive to sniff out any potential issues. Every detail counts!

Now that you’ve armed yourself with these tips, it’s time to conquer that vehicle trade-in like the vehicular warrior you are! And remember, CMH Mazda Randburg accepts trade-ins of all makes and models.
