Fixing your car before you take it to the dealer might sound like a trick of the trade-in, but you could end up spending more money than you save. Here's why
I have about a year to go before I trade in my 2014 Mazda3, and there are a few repairs needed. There’s a small cosmetic scrape, and the brakes probably need to be replaced before too long. Is it wise to fix these things before trying to sell it, or should I just trade it in as-is? – Jenn, Halifaxbefore you take it to the dealer might sound like a trick of the trade-in, but you could end up spending more money than you save.
“Reconditioning is really about fixing what is wrong with your car that would make it difficult to sell,” Murphy said. “It would be about fixing anything mechanically or cosmetically wrong with it.” “There often are safety issues like tires, brakes and lights that are missed,” Iny said. “These would be addressed during reconditioning – the dealer makes allowances for that in the trade-in appraisal.”
“They will attract a professional's attention to that area of the vehicle,” Iny said. “There will be a cost for undoing the work you did.”
