Value Your Trade
Are you ready to take the wheel of a new car? If so, you may be wondering what to do with your current set of wheels. The most convenient option is to trade it in at a dealership. At Fletcher Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we have helped car shoppers throughout the Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland, Indiana, areas with the trade-in process.
The convenient Value Your Trade tool on this page lets you get an estimate online. Learn more about the trade-in process below and contact us with any questions!
What is a Vehicle Trade-In?
When it comes time to let go of your current vehicle and slide into the driver’s seat of another car, you have two options. You can sell the vehicle yourself, which includes advertising the car, meeting with prospective buyers, scheduling test drives, and completing the necessary paperwork.
Alternatively, you can trade it in at a dealership. The latter option is the simplest one. Trading in your car saves you time and energy because one of the associates at the dealership will handle the paperwork for you.

We want to make the trade-in and car-buying processes as straightforward as possible. That’s why we have several virtual tools you can use to complete many of the steps from the comfort of home:

Tips for Trading in Your Car at a Dealership
There are also a few things you can do to prepare your vehicle for the trade-in process at the dealership. By ensuring your vehicle is up to date with its maintenance schedule and looks its best inside and out, you may be able to increase its trade-in value.
Clean & Detail
To begin, you’ll want to remove all your personal belongings from the cabin and the trunk. This will make it easier to clean, vacuum, and detail the interior. You can either do this yourself or pay a professional to do it for you.
Fix Minor Issues
If the vehicle has any minor scratches or dents, you may want to consider fixing them along with any minor mechanical issues. This might include fixing a taillight and refilling or topping off the fluids.
Gather Any Special Equipment & Important Documentation
Lastly, if your vehicle originally came equipped with special equipment, such as a DVD player, be sure to bring it all with you. Before you head to the dealership, make sure you have spare sets of keys and all the important documents, including the vehicle’s title, registration, loan information, and maintenance records.
