How to Get the Most for Your Trade-In
Simple steps to maximize what your current vehicle is worth when you trade it in with Josh.
Your trade is worth more than you think — but only if you present it right and work with someone who's fair.
Clean it. Inside, outside, and under the hood. A detail costs $150 and can add $500 to your trade value.
Gather your records. Service history, both keys, the owner's manual, and any receipts for recent work.
Get a real number, not a guess. Text Josh photos of your VIN, odometer, exterior, interior, and any damage. He'll send back a real trade offer, not a lowball starting point.
In Kentucky, you only pay sales tax on the difference between the new vehicle price and your trade value. That trade credit can be worth $1,500 or more in tax savings.
