How to get the most money for your trade-in:

Non-smoking – This one should be easy. A smelly or unpleasant interior will not help the trade-in value of your vehicle.
No accidents – Sometimes it’s impossible to avoid. The less wear and tear your vehicle has been through, the easier it will be to get top dollar for your trade.
Regular maintenance and repairs (keep your records) – One of the easiest was to keep your vehicle running well is to keep up with maintenance.
Overall cleanliness – Keep your vehicle clean through every season. Keeping your exterior as clean as the interior — especially during winter — can avoid a salt deposit buildup that could lead to rust.
Overall appearance – Take pride in your ride! Just because it runs like a dream, doesn’t mean you’ll always be able to get top dollar. Nice curb appeal can help retain value.
Address minor problems – Small problems are often signs of something more serious and can hamper your vehicle down the road.
