What is My Car Worth?

“How much can I get for my vehicle?” If you’ve ever purchased a new or used vehicle and had a model to offer for trade, you’ve probably asked yourself this question. You may be wondering where to turn when you need answers to questions like, “What is my car worth?” Did you know many people go into a trade-in situation with no prior knowledge of what their vehicle is worth? This puts you at a significant disadvantage, with no negotiating power going into the transaction. At Atchinson Ford, we offer you our “Value Your Trade” tool to find out an accurate and fair market value of your vehicle – that way, there are no surprises going into the transaction.

I Want to Trade in My Car: How Do I Figure Out the Value?

So you’ve told one of the sales reps at Atchinson Ford, “I want to sell my car.” But then you suddenly realize you never got an estimate before you brought it down to our lot. Not to worry – using these easy-to-follow instructions, you can have a solid estimate to use in your negotiations. Just use this list as a guideline for our easy-to-use tool to get an accurate, fair market valuation:
