Selling your current vehicle to a private buyer can be a real hassle.

We can handle that headache in as little as a few hours so that you can breathe easy and save your sweat.

If you don’t know that you’re quite ready to pull the trigger on your next purchase but are looking to sell, we have you covered. We won’t pressure you to put the value of your vehicle toward another purchase. You’ll have that option if you’re ready, but you can always choose to walk away with cash in hand.

Get the Most Value for Your Next Vehicle

If you are looking to get rid of your old ride and upgrade to a new one, you’ll be in the right place at Krause Toyota. Our experts will go over your vehicle with an eye for detail so that you can get the best value possible for your vehicle.

You can use the full value of your trade-in toward the purchase of a new vehicle. That means you’ll save money in the long run by lowering the amount you’ll need to finance. Trading in doesn’t just lower your price on a new or pre-owned Toyota — it also lowers the sales taxes, saving you even more money.

Of course, one of the best reasons to sell or trade in your vehicle at Krause Toyota is the wide selection of new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles we have in stock. Check out our selection online, value your trade-in ahead of your visit, and contact the team at Krause Toyota when you’re ready to do business.

How to Prepare Your Car for Trade-In at Krause Toyota

Krause Toyota is ready to offer you top dollar for your trade-in. Whether you put the money toward a new Civic, Accord, CR-V, Passport, or a rugged Ridgeline, we make it simple and easy for you. If you’re thinking about trading in your current vehicle for any model on our lot, there are some steps you should take beforehand to make sure you’re ready.

Take the Time to Clean

A shiny, clean car is going to do more than turn heads on the streets of Breinigsville. If you bring your trade-in into Krause Toyota looking its best, you stand to get more value. Think of it like staging your home for a new buyer: You want it to look its best inside and out.

Before your appointment, take an afternoon and thoroughly detail your vehicle. Wash the exterior — including the lights and tires — and give it a fresh coat of wax. Inside, clean all the surfaces with the appropriate cleaners, removing any stains, and spruce it up with an air freshener.

Show Your Work

One thing that’ll help you get the most money possible for your trade in is demonstrating that you’ve taken good care of your vehicle. A great way to do that is to gather up any service records you may have to show that you’ve followed the recommended maintenance schedule.

Before you bring your trade-in to Krause Toyota, give it a once-over to check for any potential lingering issues. If you notice anything unusual, take care of the issue yourself. Bringing in your vehicle as close to like-new condition as possible will go a long way. Keep an eye out for issues like dents, dings, and scratches. These will lower your trade-in value, and you can make the choice to fix them before visiting our showroom.

Gather Up the Essentials

When you come to Krause Toyota looking to sell or trade in your old car, you’ll need to bring a few key items. In addition to previously mentioned service records, you should bring along its title, registration, and any documents that show how you’ve taken care of your car over time.

It’s also important that you have anything the vehicle might need to be considered complete. Think of spare tires, remotes for in-vehicle entertainment systems, and spare keys. The closer your trade-in is to 100-percent complete, the more value you’ll get from it.

Your friends at Krause Toyota want to make selling or trading in your vehicle a simple and satisfying experience. If you’re thinking about making a change in the near future, give us a call and we’ll help you get squared away.
