What Do Car Appraisers Look For?

Other resources may be consulted to determine a value, such as Kelley Blue Book. A Vehicle History Report is also useful to learn about anything your vehicle has been through, like an accident or storm damage.

Car appraisers may also check the current market value for your vehicle. They have a few options when it comes to reselling your vehicle, including using their lot or sending it to a wholesale market. They will therefore want to learn the current market value to find out the best price.

How to Boost Trade-In Value

There are a few different ways to improve the trade-in value of your vehicle. One easy way is to take it to the car wash or wash it yourself at home. You likely have supplies on hand, or they’re fairly easy to obtain. A quick vacuum of the interior will also ensure any dust or dirt is picked up.

Another way to boost your trade-in value is to make sure you have all important documentation on hand. This includes the following:

• Vehicle title
• Vehicle registration
• Service records

In addition to your service records, you can bring any receipts that demonstrate recent purchases to improve the condition of your vehicle. Driving around on a new set of tires? That can improve your vehicle’s value, as your tires are an important part of the inspection we mentioned above.

Prepare Your Vehicle for a Trade-In

Also, make sure you have the car’s spare key on hand! You can give it to the appraiser for the test drive, and they’ll also want to pass it on to the next driver.
