Have you had your eye on the shiny new 2026 Ford F-150? Or are you maybe just looking for a new to you upgrade? Well, one of the steps on your journey to your new ride is thinking about what to do with your current vehicle. Trading your vehicle in can help get you out of your old vehicle and into the new one all in one fell swoop!
Here’s a few things to think about as you prepare to trade in your vehicle.
- Gather all of the Vehicle Documents Having all of the paperwork that a future buyer might want (like the title, registration, or service records) ready to go can help make the trade in quick and easy!
- Collect all of the “Extras” Having the extra set of keys, any floor mats, cupholder inserts, or anything else that came with the vehicle can ensure you get the most value out of your trade in!
- We Take All Makes and Models If you aren’t currently driving a Ford, it’s no problem! We buy and sell all makes and models at our Used Dealership.
- Get an Estimate Use the CarFax tool on our website here to get an idea of what your vehicle might be valued at in advance, so you know what to expect!
- Give it a Final Clean Out While you don’t have to scrub every inch until it sparkles, it’s a good idea to give the vehicle a once over to make sure every last one of your personal items are out! You don’t want to lose the house key or favorite toy that got dropped under the seat.
Our goal here at Brighton Ford is to make getting you into your next vehicle as simple as possible, so when you’re ready to trade in for an upgrade, visit us, or give us a call at 1-810-NEW-FORD to get started!
