This means that you should follow your car’s regular maintenance schedule and take care of your vehicle while you own it. This will make it a more attractive trade-in in the eyes of the dealer.

Buying a used car doesn’t have to be stressful if you know what to expect. Taking a well-maintained car in for a trade-in will help you get a better deal on your next car, which should be an upgrade in terms of model year and dependability.
