Q: If I have my vehicle appraised, do I have to sell it to Trade-In Solutions?
A: No, there is no pressure whatsoever to sell. In fact, nothing is done without your full consent. We carefully explain the inspection and appraisal points and do whatever we can to accommodate your wishes.

Q: As a purchasing agency, are you only interested in popular cars?
No matter how much better your price is than a dealer trade-in offer, if my car isn’t popular, I’m likely to be disappointed in the price, right?”
A: Not at all. We are always happy to buy any car that has a clean title and is in good condition. That is how we do business.
The main factors determining a used car’s value are the make and year. Of course it’s true that popular, late model cars command higher prices. But Trade-In Solutions has the know-how necessary to appraise and buy all types of cars. We also recognize the value of options and aftermarket parts that dealers might ignore when buying a trade-in. If you’ve taken excellent care of the car it will be noted in the appraisal and reflected in a higher quote. |

Q: What are the factors that increase a car’s value? Which ones lower it?
A: A car that has been well cared for will be in better condition, and will receive a higher appraisal. Trade-In Solutions considers many factors, both positive and negative, when appraising a car. For instance, the values of the same model car can differ considerably depending on the color of the car. This is frequently the case with used cars.
Options that can add to your car’s value include:
- Options that only a manufacturer can add, such as sun roofs, airbags, and the latest navigation systems
- Non-manufacturer options, such as front bumpers, sidesteps, rear wings, flairs, foils and other aerodynamic parts; also alloy wheels, mufflers and newer navigation systems.
- Quality conversions that have not caused damage to the vehicle. Where the results improve the look or performance of the vehicle such conversions can add value, but the contrary can also be the case.
Light scratches are not a major concern, but previous accidents that have affected the core support or frame of the car will reduce the value of the vehicle. Moreover, any major conversion, no matter how well done, will reduce the durability of the car, and this will also reduce its value. Stains, burns and strong odors in the interior of the vehicle are also matters of concern. |
