Things to Consider
How to Prepare Your Vehicle
Make sure you clean your vehicle inside and out prior to trade-in. This ensures that your vehicle puts its best foot forward, or best tire forward, in terms of establishing an offer. Additionally, any small repairs that can be fixed prior to appraisal should be done so. This includes things like headlights, interior lights, and fluid levels. Before the appraisal, make sure you collect all the important documents and vehicle accessories. Lastly, do a small final inspection before making your way over to Thielen Motors.
Is your Vehicle Financed?
Trading in a financed car is very similar to trading in any other vehicle. When you're ready to complete the necessary paperwork, it's crucial to understand that if you owe less on your loan than the value of your car, Thielen Motors will provide enough funds to pay off the rest of the loan when they buy your vehicle.
