How to Value Your Trade at Scott Chevrolet in Allentown, PA

Trading in your current vehicle can be one of the easiest ways to lower the cost of your next vehicle. But how do you know what it’s really worth? At Scott Chevrolet in Allentown, PA, we make the trade-in process quick, transparent, and fair – so you can get top value with no stress and no guesswork.

Whether you’re swapping keys for a brand-new Chevy or simply looking to sell your vehicle, our trade-in process gives you real numbers, not rough estimates.

What Impacts Your Trade-In Value?

There are a few main things that go into what your car’s worth. Knowing these ahead of time can help you feel more confident when it's time for an offer.

• Make, Model, and Year: Some cars just hold their value better. Models like the Chevy Silverado, Equinox, and Malibu tend to stay in high demand, which can help boost your trade-in offer.
• Mileage: Generally, the fewer miles on the odometer, the better. If your car’s been gently driven and kept in good shape, that’ll definitely work in your favor.
• Overall Condition: Small scratches, dents, worn tires, or a stained interior can lower the value. On the flip side, a clean, well-maintained car usually gets a better offer.
• Vehicle History: If your car has a clean title and no accident history, that adds value. Bonus points if you have service records or a clean CarFax report to show.
• Current Demand: Some vehicles are just easier to sell right now. SUVs and trucks, for example, tend to be more popular during Pennsylvania’s colder months, and that can help increase your appraisal.

Online tools are great for getting a general idea of your car’s value. Our Value Your Trade tool at Scott Chevrolet lets you plug in a few details – like your VIN, mileage, and condition – and gives you a quick estimate based on up-to-date market info.

Trade It In or Sell It to Us – Your Choice

Thinking about trading your old vehicle for a new or used vehicle? Your trade-in value can be applied directly toward your down payment, helping to reduce your monthly payment or overall loan amount.

Not ready to buy yet? No problem. Scott Chevrolet also buys vehicles outright. If you're looking to sell your vehicle, we’ll still provide a competitive offer with no obligation to buy.

Want to get the most for your vehicle? A little prep goes a long way.

• Clean it Up: A freshly washed and vacuumed vehicle makes a better impression.
• Fix Small Issues: Replacing wipers, topping off fluids, or patching a tire can make a difference.
• Bring Paperwork: Have your title, registration, and service records ready.

The better shape your vehicle is in, the easier it is for us to give you top dollar.
