Thinking About Trading In? Read This First
Thinking about trading in your car this year? Whether you’re ready to upgrade or just wondering what your current ride is worth, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
We hear this every day:
👉 “I just want to make sure I’m not getting ripped off.”
Totally fair. Here’s what actually matters when it comes to getting the most for your trade-in in 2025—straight from the team at Herrnstein of Waverly.
1. Mileage Matters—But Condition Matters More
Sure, lower miles are great. But a clean, well-cared-for vehicle with service records and no warning lights can be worth just as much—or more—than one that’s barely been driven but neglected.
Tip: Fix small stuff—like a headlight or worn tires. It shows you took care of the car.
2. Detail It Like You’re Selling It to a Friend
Quick wash. Vacuum. Toss out the trash. This takes 20 minutes and can add hundreds to your offer.
Want extra credit? Bring service receipts or records with you—we’ll definitely take those into account.
3. Don’t Overthink the Timing
You’ll hear people say “wait for tax season” or “summer is better.” Honestly? If your vehicle fits our inventory needs, we’ll give you a strong offer anytime.
If your current car isn’t meeting your needs anymore, that’s the best reason to trade.
4. We’ll Buy Your Car Even If You Don’t Buy Ours
Seriously—no strings attached. If you just want to sell your vehicle, we’ll make you an offer on the spot. Fast. Transparent. Hassle-free.
And yes, we take ANY trade. Running or not, paid off or not, weird color, missing key—bring it in. If it has wheels, we’ll take a look.
