Where can you trade in your car? If it's time for you to trade cars, you'll want to get the best possible trade in value. Before you choose a CarMax trade in, it's important to understand how they value cars. Ewald Auto also offers a convenient tool to trade your used car in Waukesha. The MaxAllowance program makes it easy to trade your car to our used car dealership near you. Let's review the strengths and weaknesses of trading in with CarMax vs Ewald's MaxAllowance!
Does CarMax give you the most money?
How does CarMax trade in value stack up against the competition? First, there are a few things to keep in mind about the CarMax trade in process.
Your online CarMax trade in offer is based on your license plate, registration, and zip code.
CarMax also offers in-person appraisals, which take a closer look at the vehicle's condition.
All CarMax offers are valid for seven days.
Ewald's MaxAllowance extends Considerate Cash offers based on the data and images you provide. MaxAllowance lets customers tell the story of their car, right from their own driveway. The more information you share about your car, the more accurate your offer will be.
If you don't have time to visit a CarMax buying center for an inspection, MaxAllowance has a stronger online valuation program.
How do I get the most out of my trade in?
Before you trade in your car, it's important to make an objective assessment of its condition. To receive the highest trade in value, you'll want to make sure your car puts its best face forward. Here are some actions that can improve your MaxAllowance or CarMax trade in value.
Repair any known problems in your car.
Get your used car in Waukesha into the best condition possible. The condition of your vehicle plays a huge part in determining your trade in value.
Clean, detail, and wax your car.
