How to Get the Best Trade-In Price in Melbourne

Getting the Best Trade-In Price

Trading in is the fastest and simplest way to change cars. A little preparation can make a real difference to the price you are offered.

Prepare your car

• Clean it inside and out.
• Find the service book, both keys and any receipts.
• Fix small, cheap things such as globes and wiper blades.

Know what it is worth

Look at similar cars for sale online, then take a little off for the dealer's reconditioning and selling costs. Be realistic about the kilometres and condition.

Trade-in or sell privately?

A private sale can bring a higher price, but it takes time, means strangers at your home, and you handle the paperwork and any finance payout. A trade-in is done in one visit, and we can pay out your existing loan.
