As you start setting your budget for a new vehicle, don’t forget to factor in your Porsche trade-in value. There are a few things that you can do to get the most out of your trade-in vehicle. Porsche Downtown LA highlights the factors that make the biggest difference.
Current Market Value
The current market value is the baseline for your trade-in value. We look at the current pricing, both in retail and auction, for your vehicle. This price is determined by your specific year, make, model, and trim level. We’ll also factor in the current supply and demand for your vehicle.
Condition
Next, we look at your vehicle’s condition. The estimated reconditioning cost is subtracted from your vehicle’s value. While minor scratches or tears are insignificant, it will definitely be a factor if we have to do repairs. You may want to address minor repairs yourself to get the best price for your trade-in, and you should also carefully clean and detail your vehicle.
Alterations
As we inspect its condition, we’ll also look for any alterations to your vehicle. Since Porsche vehicles are top-of-the-line, aftermarket parts will lower their value. Any customizations or modifications can also lower your trade-in value, so consider removing them if they’re reversible.
History
Finally, we’ll review the history of your vehicle. While an accident isn’t always a significant issue, it can be if your vehicle has had structural damage. We also check to make sure that your vehicle was maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, so don’t forget your service records.
