How Huffines Chevrolet Plano Determines Your Chevrolet Trade-In ValueÂ
KBB is one of the largest, most reputable organizations for sales data and automotive research. When we purchase a used Chevrolet, we use our KBB form to provide you with a consistent, market-accurate value. With a KBB valuation and our Chevrolet-certified professionals, you can get a cash offer based on how many people in the area pay for a car like yours. To give you an idea of what to expect, here are the primary factors that influence the KBB value of your vehicle:
Mileage
Even the best Chevrolet models can't last forever. The number of miles a vehicle has driven is one of the most consistent ways to determine its maintenance needs. After around 120,000 miles, the average vehicle probably needs a thorough inspection and maintenance service. Except for some vintage cars, higher mileage often means a lower price.Â
Condition and Accident History
Vehicles with an accident in their history or a neglected maintenance record may require repairs by an auto service department, which may incur further expenses. If it's been damaged or certain systems need maintenance, you'll get less for the trade.Â
Aftermarket Parts
If you added aftermarket parts or accessories to your Chevrolet, the effect on your KBB valuation can go either way. If you've added genuine Chevrolet components, you have a better chance of improving the car's appeal and price tag. However, fewer people will want to purchase your vehicle if you've used cheap aftermarket items. This decreases the vehicle's sales value.Â
Location and Time
Your area may have above-average sales prices for the type of Chevrolet model you want to sell or just for cars in general. Also, the time of year can affect the market, so you may want to avoid selling from January to April, as this is when vehicle prices often reach their lowest values. However, this is not universal, and our dealership offers our customers worthwhile specials and affordable prices throughout the year.Â
It's very important to get an accurate estimate of your vehicle's value in the areas near Plano, and our online form will handle everything in no time. Try it out if you're ready to get your next Chevrolet vehicle.Â
The Benefits of Trading In Your Current Vehicle
Here are some of the benefits of trading in your current Chevrolet:
Getter Better Tax Advantages
Trading in your car allows you to use the cash toward a down payment on a new vehicle, which can reduce your tax liability. However, if you sell the vehicle privately, you may pay more in tax. Knowing your bottom line when selling your Chevy is important if you're trying to budget.Â
Enjoy a Much Faster Process To Get a New Chevrolet
Trading in your current vehicle with our dealership allows you to instantly apply its value toward a new one. However, if you sell privately, you'd need to complete multiple steps that can take a lot of time, effort, and resources, such as agreeing on a price, preparing the vehicle's title, and trusting payment from a stranger. At Huffines Chevrolet Plano, our team ensures the process is simple and hassle-free.Â
Save Money and Time Detailing Your Car
If you sell your Chevy independently, the potential buyer will expect it to look its best. This may require you to spend hundreds of dollars on exterior and interior detailing services, only to find out they're not interested after all. At Huffines Chevrolet Plano, we're happy to take your current Chevrolet as is and provide all cleaning and reconditioning before putting it on our lot. Instead of using your money to repair your current vehicle, it can be put toward a higher down payment.Â
Your Current Loan Doesn't Have To Be Paid in Full
Many people prefer trading in their Chevrolet because they don't need to pay off their current loan in full. If you're trying to sell your current vehicle independently, the bank holds the title until you've paid it off completely. Our dealership has the knowledge and experience you can count on to ensure you get treated fairly.Â
No Need To Advertise Your Car
Trying to market your own car can be a frustrating experience. You need impressive pictures and a compelling description of why the vehicle is worth what you're asking. While it may seem like there are plenty of interested buyers, the reality is that many people don't show up, or they offer a price well below what you're asking. To avoid all the frustration and hassle, let us sell it for you so you get the new Chevrolet you want in no time.
Transparency and Safety
If you're selling your Chevy yourself, it's much harder to get the best deal. In addition, there's always a possibility that you'll become the victim of a scam. You take the risk of forged cashier's checks, counterfeit bills, or canceled wire transfers. However, if you trade in your car with a trusted dealership, you can get the best price possible without the risk of being taken advantage of. Marketing the vehicle yourself to get the desired price may not only be disappointing, but it can eventually end with you getting less than you want.Â
