Here at Mentor Nissan your new Nissan car dealership we have a wonderful inventory of the latest models for you to choose from when you are looking for a new car. We know that everyone has a budget when purchasing a new or used vehicle, so we’d like to talk about one way to save some money: trading in your current car, truck or SUV. Our dealers can go over the benefits of trading a vehicle in as well as what you need to do to prepare for the trade-in process.

Why Trade Your Vehicle In?

When you trade in your existing vehicle, it helps you cut down the cost of purchasing a new car like the 2018 Nissan Maxima. It will save you time too, as you will not have to worry about selling your car by yourself. Trading in saves you money because you can use the value of your car as the down payment towards the purchase of your new Nissan car. This also leads to your monthly payment being cheaper as you are able to put more money down.

How to Prepare For a Trade-In

To maximize the value of your car you will want to do things like make sure the exterior paint has no scratches, check the tires to see if they need to be replaced or repaired, and inspect the windshield for any cracks. Also, be sure to get all your personal belongings out of the vehicle. When bringing your car to trade it in, make sure you bring with you the car’s title, owner’s manual, proof of registration, and any maintenance receipts.
