Ardent Exchange: Auto Buying Concierges - Trade Ins

Trading in your car? Don't let it turn into a financial fumble! On this bite-sized episode, Pete and Steve tackle the often-overlooked trade-in process. They'll pull from their experience as former auto sales professionals to break down:

• The key reasons to consider a trade-in (think convenience, potential tax breaks and avoiding scams) and reasons not to trade in (pricing and market conditions)
• What to do and what not to do before you head to the dealership (Should you detail your car first?)
• Dealership negotiation strategies and avoiding the devaluation trap to secure a fair trade-in price

The trade-in process is often an afterthought for many car buyers—But in this episode, our hosts will explain why it deserves more attention.
