Trade-In Value Guide BC

How trade-in value is determined:

• ✓Vehicle make, model, trim, and year
• ✓Current mileage and mechanical condition
• ✓Accident history (ICBC or Carfax report)
• ✓Current market demand for that vehicle type
• ✓Comparable listings in your region

Start with a thorough cleaning — inside and out.. A clean vehicle signals care and maintenance..Remove all personal items, vacuum carpets, wipe down surfaces, and clean windows..

Season matters in BC.. SUVs and trucks command higher trade-in values in fall and early winter as buyers prepare for mountain driving and winter conditions..Convertibles and sports cars peak in spring..

Private sales typically get you 15–25% more than a trade-in.. However, private sales require more effort:

• advertising
• screening buyers
• test drives
• negotiations
• and handling the ICBC ownership transfer yourself.. Trading in is faster and simpler — the dealer handles everything
• and the trade-in value reduces your financed amount (and potentially your taxes)

When you apply through Easy Ride Canada, let your advisor know you have a trade-in. They will assess the vehicle and factor the trade-in value into your financing options.The trade-in amount reduces the total financed — lowering your monthly payment.
