Bring Your Trade-In Documents to the Dealership

After you’ve received your trade-in estimate, begin assembling your documentation so you can come to Modern Toyota of Asheboro and begin the trade-in procedure. Do you need a title to trade in a car? Yes, and you’ll also need a few pieces of additional paperwork. To begin the process, please bring the following items:

• Car Title – You cannot trade in your car until you have the title. Bring your payback letter or 10-day payoff statement if the title has a lien-holder on it, such as your lender. We’ll also need their contact information.
• Bring a current copy of your vehicle’s registration. This paperwork links you to the vehicle you own, so bring it with you if you intend to transfer ownership.
• (Optional) Service Records. Bring this paperwork with you if your automobile is up to date on its scheduled maintenance. A well-documented service history is an excellent selling feature for any used vehicle, and you may be able to collect more money from the sale.

Along with those documents, you should provide your driver’s license, proof of residency, and proof of income. These documents are especially important if you want to finance or lease another vehicle.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Trade-In

Naturally, you want to receive the best price for your vehicle. Before you drive to the dealership with the paperwork you’ve gathered, consider the following to potentially increase the resale value of your vehicle:

• Clean Your Car: A clean car provides a favorable first impression on a dealer since it indicates that the car has been well cared for. Vacuum the carpets in your car, wipe down the surfaces and clean the windows. Remove any debris or trash.
• Repair the Minor Issues: While you don’t want to spend money on a car you’re trading in, you may make it appear nicer by repairing minor scratches, dents, or scruffs. This, once again, will generate a favorable impression on the dealer. Larger repairs should be left to the dealer, who will complete these repairs using their in-house service center.
