The Best Time to Trade or Upgrade Your Chevy at Scott Chevrolet

Selling your Chevy or trading it in isn't just about hopping into something new – it's about knowing the right time to make a well-informed choice. At Scott Chevrolet in Allentown, PA, we're determined to guide you to that optimal moment so you can extract the most value from the vehicle you drive now and head off in the Chevy you've always envisioned.

Why Timing Matters

Like real estate, the auto market goes through cycles. The difference is that you can use those cycles to your advantage. Certain times of the year – and even certain times within a model's lifecycle – can mean more trade-in value, better upgrade incentives, and a bigger grin when you drive off the lot.

Signs It's the Right Time to Trade or Upgrade

Here are some certain indicators that today could be your day:

• Your Chevy Has High Equity: If your vehicle is more valuable than your current loan balance, you can apply that equity toward a new vehicle.
• Manufacturer Incentives are Strong: Low APR financing, cash back rebates, or other exclusive lease deals make an upgrade within your budget.
• A Redesign is Coming: Dealerships give great deals on current models to clear inventory before the new model arrives.
• Seasonal Discounts are On: Holiday sale events, year-end clearance, and spring upgrade promotions can result in significant savings.
• Your Circumstances Have Changed: If your daily commute, family size, or lifestyle have altered, an upgrade may be more convenient than waiting.

The Best Times of the Year to Make Your Move

While the "right time" is subject to your individual situation, these are when most motorists achieve success:

• End of the Model Year: Dealerships start selling last-year models during mid-to-late summer and early fall. You can find better prices and even have a chance at getting more trade-in value if your model is still in demand.
• Major Holiday Sales Events: Think Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday, and Year-End Sales. These holiday sales events usually feature some of Chevrolet's strongest incentives.
• Tax Season: Tax refunds often increase buyer activity, which may improve demand in the used-car market—though trade-in values still depend on overall market conditions.
• When You're in Positive Equity: Whether it's tax season or not, if your Chevy is worth more than you have on it, you're able to trade up without increasing your monthly payment significantly.
