Many customers at Ewald Automotive Group trade in their current automobile to reduce the cost they have to pay for their next one. The Nation Automobile Dealers Association has found that around 22% of used car sales involve a trade-in historically, and new car buyers use their trade in value to pay for their car around 40% of the time.

When you're new to the trade in car process, it's important to know what steps you should take to trade in your car. First, we recommend that you begin trading in your car on our website. There you will find a car value estimator that will help you with valuing your car. Simply input the model, make, and year into our car value estimator to value your car. Then in as little as a few minutes, we will send you an estimate trade in value. Additionally, our website will give you all the resources and tools you will need to find used car values, pre-approval tools for financing, our showroom inventory, and more. Finding your trade in value is simple when you use Ewald Automotive Group's website.

We have a few tips and tricks for our customers to get the best car trade in value before you arrive at one of our eight convenient locations in the greater Milwaukee area to trade in your car. The first thing to keep in mind is to ensure that you have cleaned and gotten rid of any personal items that could be in your car. We encourage our customers to get their car professionally detailed, but you can do it yourself if you are on a tighter budget. Secondly, ensure that your car is in exceptional condition--repair any of the small things that could depreciate your car's trade in value. That could be checking the fluid levels in your engine or fixing a non-functioning lightbulb in your headlights. If your vehicle requires more significant repairs, get an appraisal from your service technicians and bring it with you to your appraisal appointment. Thirdly, ensure that you have the important paperwork with you when you decide to trade in your car. The registration and title are the most crucial pieces of paperwork, but service records can increase your trade in value as well. Finally, bring in any additional sets of keys or accessories with you when you come into Ewald Automotive Group.

Next, when you arrive here, tell the sales associate that greets you that you want to trade in your car and that you would like to receive a trade in value of your car. Our sales associates will then ask you about your car's condition and history. This conversation will help us gauge what is happening with your vehicle before sending it to our mechanics for an internal and external inspection. Our mechanics will look over the exterior and interior and the car's condition under the hood in this inspection. Meanwhile, our sales associates will evaluate and research the car's actual used car value. At Ewald Automotive Group, we value your car with real-time pricing technology. We check the most recent sales of comparable models of your vehicle and determine the used car value. Our car dealership determines this trade in value, and it is unique to your car. Here are some factors that influence your car's trade in value: 1) Do you still owe money on this car? ; 2) Is your car in good condition?; 3) Does your car need refurbishment?. If you answer yes to any of those questions, your car may have a lower used car value. We want the process of trading in your car to be as transparent as possible at Ewald Automotive Group. If you have any questions about your used car value, our sales associates would be happy to have a conversation about how each of the factors may have affected your trade in value. Then, our sales associates will give you an offer on your car based on what we find in our service technician's inspection and the used car value of your vehicle.

You can decline, accept, or negotiate the offer that we give you at Ewald Automotive Group. We dedicate ourselves to making our customers our priority, so if you are unsure of our offer, we encourage you to go home and sleep on it. If you choose to accept our offer, we will pay off your current auto loan lender if your current vehicle is not currently paid off. Then, we will hand you a check that will be the remaining trade in value, or you can decide to apply the remaining money to your next vehicle's down payment. Afterward, you will complete any transaction paperwork required by the state of Wisconsin and sign the car's title over to us at Ewald Automotive Group.
