Step ONE
Confirm your phone number. If this is the dealership you bought the car from, they keep track of your info by your phone number. Confirming your number ensures they have the right person. If you've not done business with this particular dealership before, providing your phone number allows them to know who the trade-in belongs to. Don't worry, your info is safe and sound and won't be used for marketing by either us or them.
Step TWO
Provide just a bit of info about your trade-in, such as its VIN and the condition you think it's in. Whether its in pristine condition or a total beater, whatever the trade-in condition, give the dealership your accurate, honest opinion so they can give you an accurate, honest value. Avoid the temptation to say the car is nicer than it is, cause then the dealership will give you too high of a value, and then when you come in they'll have to tell you the car isn't as nice as you said it was, and then that will be awkward, and you'll feel bad, and they'll feel bad, and it will be a whole thing, and nobody wants that.
Step THREE
Upload some pictures! A picture's worth a thousand words, as they say, and dealerships like to get good angles on the car both inside and outside so they can give you a solid value, so we ask for 4 interior and 4 exterior shots. So those pics are worth, what, 8000 words? Nice. Just take them on your phone and upload them right on the site.
