How Dealers Value Your Trade in El Dorado, AR

Are you ready to trade in your old car for something new and exciting here at Karl Malone Ford, but you’re concerned that the process will be complicated and stressful? There’s no need to worry, because our team is focused on streamlining and simplifying your trade-in experience. We’re here to help you along every step of the way, and that includes making sure you understand how we will value your trade. Read on to learn more about how we assign a value to your trade and what you can do to prepare before you bring your vehicle to our dealership.

Your Vehicle's Condition

If we don’t have to do much to prepare your vehicle for sale, we’ll be able to offer you more money for it. That’s why it’s important for you to detail your vehicle (or at least wash and vacuum it out) before bringing it to our dealership. If you’re able, repair any scratches, dents and other flaws on the exterior of your vehicle as well. When you clean up your car, you’ll ensure that it's looking its best and worth more money when you trade it in.

Our Current Inventory

The amount we offer for your car is also dependent on our current inventory. If we’re overloaded with cars similar to yours that aren’t selling, we won’t be able to offer you a high price. However, if we don’t have any cars like yours, and we think your car will sell easily, we’ll be able to offer you a better price.

So why trade in your vehicle?

Why should you trade in your vehicle with us, rather than choosing another dealership or selling your car yourself? We’re confident when we say that trading your car at Karl Malone Ford is the easiest and best option. Selling your vehicle online is a huge hassle. You have to take pictures, list your vehicle, message back and forth with interested parties and then take time off work to take potential buyers on test drives. You’ll get many messages from people who aren’t really serious about buying or who want to haggle with you over the price. When you trade your car with us, you don’t have to worry about dealing with strangers on the internet. We take care of the details, including important paperwork like the title transfer. Plus, you can apply the offer we give you for your vehicle to the purchase of a new or used car in one simple transaction. We’ll give you a great offer so you can drive home happy in an upgraded vehicle you’ll love.

If you have any questions about trading in your vehicle, contact us today or stop by Karl Malone Ford at 1730 West Hillsboro Street, El Dorado, AR 71730. We look forward to serving our customers near Magnolia, Smackover, Strong and Monticello.
