Kia Trade-in Checklist
Of course, there are some things you should make sure you have with you on the day you trade in your car for a new one. Your trade-in checklist should include:
- Owner’s manual
- Ownership papers
- Maintenance records
- Payout letter for your existing vehicle loan, if you have one
- Wheel lock if you have locking lugs
- The cargo cover, if your vehicle came with one
After that, make sure you gather all your personal effects. Don’t forget to remove things like your garage opener, your first aid kit, or even your toll road transponder if you have one.
Maximize Your Car Trade-In Value
Everyone is looking for the best deal on any new car purchase, and getting a high Kia value estimate on your trade-in can help improve your buying power when it’s time to upgrade.
Tips for maximizing your Kia value estimate include:
- Fix any minor issues like blown light bulbs or squeaky hinges
- Perform any outstanding services
- Thoroughly clean your vehicle and repair minor scratches
The best way to protect the value of your vehicle and get the highest Kia value estimate is to perform regular Kia maintenance at a certified Kia service center, following your owner’s manual. Staying consistent with service helps maximize your used Kia value estimate and ensures you’ll get the best Kia trade-in value when it’s time to upgrade.
