Value Your Trade

What Do I Need to Start Using This Online Appraisal Tool?

Now that you know the benefits of appraising the value of your trade-in online, it’s also important to know how to begin this process. Here’s everything you need to receive an accurate appraisal value of your car.

Make and Model

One of the first things you’ll need to have to receive an appraisal is the make and model of your vehicle. If you had a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Jeep is the make, and the Grand Cherokee is the model. You’ll also need to know the year of your automobile. It’s understandable if you’re not quite sure what model year you own. Fortunately, this information should be easy to find in your owner’s manual.

Condition

During this section, you’ll need to describe the general condition of your vehicle. You might also need to mention if your vehicle has been in any accidents. It’s also important to mention anything about previous flood or fire damage to your car. You might also need to present information about the exterior condition of your car. So, it’s a good idea to take a look at your vehicle’s paint condition. If it needs paint or bodywork, this will affect the value of your trade-in.

Mileage

Another common part of any appraisal is learning the vehicle’s mileage or how far it’s traveled. Understandably, a vehicle with more mileage will generally be worth less than a car with lower mileage.
