When Is It Time to Trade In Your Car?

Owning a car is a necessity for most people in the United States, but sometimes it’s difficult to know when it’s finally time to trade in your current vehicle for an upgraded option. Our team at Express Auto is here to help you find the right vehicle, whether you want something new or used. Continue reading for a few guidelines that can help you determine if it’s time to value your trade.

You’re Ready for Something Different

Whether you use your car to commute to work or to get your family to all of their activities, it’s important to have a car that you enjoy and can rely on. If you’re feeling frustrated with your vehicle’s features, it might be time to consider a trade. You want your car to work for you, so if you’re lacking certain expectations or find yourself frustrated with your experience every time you go somewhere, you should look at your options.

Your Vehicle is Worth More Now

Another time to trade in your vehicle is when its value increases. Fluctuations in the market can cause the value of your vehicle to fluctuate as well, so you can monitor its worth and complete a trade while your car is more valuable than your loan amount or original price.

You’re Experiencing Problems

People often seek a trade-in when they’re beginning to experience problems with their vehicle. You might not get as much for your trade, but it helps you upgrade to a better, more reliable vehicle and allows you an easy way to correctly pass on your vehicle. Many trades can be repaired for others after the trade is complete and you won’t be responsible for the repair costs.

Ultimately the right time to trade in your vehicle is when you’re ready to! Visit us at one of our five Michigan locations to browse our selection and get an estimated trade-in value. You can find us in Kalamazoo, Holland, Wyoming, Battle Creek, and Benton Harbor.
