Trading in your current vehicle is one of the easiest ways to upgrade to a new Ford. At Wood Motor Ford Carthage, we’re here to help drivers in Carthage, MO, as well as Joplin and Webb City, navigate the trade-in process with ease.

Follow these simple steps to trade in your car and drive away in a new Ford today!

1. Understand Your Vehicle’s Value

The first step in trading in your car is knowing its worth. You can use online tools like Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds to get an estimate of your vehicle’s trade-in value. At Wood Motor Ford Carthage, we also offer a free trade-in appraisal to give you an accurate and competitive value based on the market and your vehicle’s condition.

2. Gather Important Documents

To streamline the trade-in process, have the following documents ready:

• Vehicle title or loan payoff information
• Vehicle registration
• Driver’s license
• Maintenance and service records

These documents will ensure a smooth transaction when you visit our dealership.

3. Clean and Prepare Your Vehicle

First impressions matter. Before trading in your car, give it a thorough cleaning inside and out. Address minor cosmetic issues like scratches or dents, and ensure all maintenance is up to date. While we accept vehicles in any condition, a clean and well-maintained car may fetch a higher trade-in value.

4. Schedule a Trade-In Appraisal

Bring your vehicle to Wood Motor Ford Carthage for an in-person appraisal. Our experienced team will assess your car’s condition, mileage, and market value to offer you a fair trade-in price. This offer can then be applied toward the purchase of your new Ford, reducing the overall cost.

5. Browse Our New Ford Inventory

Once you’ve received your trade-in value, it’s time to choose your new Ford! Whether you’re interested in the versatile Ford Escape, the rugged Ford F-150, or the family-friendly Ford Explorer, we have a wide selection of vehicles to suit your needs and lifestyle.

6. Finalize the Deal

After selecting your new Ford, we’ll handle the paperwork to finalize the trade-in and purchase. If there’s a remaining balance on your trade-in vehicle’s loan, we’ll take care of that as well. Our finance team can help you secure competitive financing or lease options to make your new Ford even more affordable.
