If you're thinking of parting with your vehicle, the first question you may be asking is: What's my car worth?

Our finance team at Ray Price Chevrolet is here to help you out.

The following is a breakdown of factors which determine the overall value of a used car. Also, our dealership is always looking to add to our used inventory, so we will offer you great value for your car!

Determining Your Car's Value

Specific Car You Drive

Make, model, and model year

Condition of the Car

Excellent, Good, or Fair

Vehicle History

Service records and accident reports


The Exact Specifications of Your Car

The first thing that will determine the value of your ride is the type of car you drive. This plays a big role in its overall selling value. That includes the specifics of the car, such as:

  • Make
  • Model
  • Model Year
  • Trim Level

On top of that, the mileage will also impact the value of your car. However, we're always looking to add to our pre-owned inventory. So, whether you happen to drive a truck, SUV, a compact sedan, or something else, you can still look forward to strong value from us.

The Overall Condition

How well you've taken care of your car over the years is going to factor into the worth as well. The condition is dependent on a few things, some of which you can enhance so you can gain the most out of selling your car. Here are a few ways you can work to improve your car's condition and possibly boost its value:

  • Clean the interior
  • Wash the exterior
  • Handle maintenance services that are due
  • Complete necessary repairs

When cleaning the interior, you will want to vacuum out all the various spaces and check to ensure the upholstery is free of any stains or tears. You will also want to take the time to test out the various features of the cabin.

Beyond washing the exterior, you can also look for any sort of dents or dings along the body. Having these smoothed out will improve value, too. It is also best to check the condition of the tires as well. Overall, the better the car looks, the more it will be worth.

Then, if you notice a warning light on the dashboard or see that the engine oil needs to be changed, getting these issues resolved before selling your car can also be worthwhile and help you gain even more for your vehicle.

Vehicle History Report

The vehicle history report refers to a few specific things about your model, including any previous accidents and the model's service history.

If you've had your model into the shop for other routine care over the years, it will help the value. The following services improve long-term reliability:

Accidents also factor into the worth. If you've had an accident in your car, buyers simply want to know the necessary repairs that were made to bring it back to peak form. A transparent look at how well you have taken care of your vehicle throughout the years will show that it's in great condition and ready to provide many more miles of dependable driving, which can help you get the best offer possible when selling it.

Determining Your Car's Worth

 As you can see, each car has a unique and specific value depending on factors such as:

  • Condition
  • Make, model, and model year
  • Vehicle history

Knowing all of these factors now, you will be ready to see what sort of value you can get for your car. That is because right online, you can use a valuation tool to determine what you could possibly earn for your car.

All you will need to do is provide this basic information about your vehicle and you can see what its estimated worth is. That way, you can know what to expect when you sell your car and can even start to budget for the new car you want to get. 

How to Sell Your Car?

The next step after getting an estimated value for your car is to then figure out how you'd like to go about selling your car. While you can do so privately, selling it directly to us helps to save you time and provides more convenience since you can skip many of the steps required when selling to a private buyer.

Instead, all you will need to do is stop by our dealership and our team will be ready to get started on the process with you. That includes doing a quick inspection on your car before offering you a fair, up-front offer for your car. Once accepted, we will work to handle all the paperwork for you so you can quickly transfer the title over and then head on your way or start shopping for your new ride!

What's a Trade-in?

While selling your car is a straightforward transaction where you transfer ownership of your car in exchange for payment, another option you have is to do a trade-in. This is when you sell us your car and we provide you with trade-in credit that you can use directly towards the new car you want to purchase from us. With a trade-in, there are a few benefits to gain, which includes:

  • Possibly less taxes owed
  • Conveniently switch to a new car
  • A trustworthy selling process

A trade-in is a great option if you are looking to upgrade your ride and switch from your current car to a new vehicle with added tech or more space for your growing family.
