Advantages of Trading In Your Vehicle
While selling your vehicle privately might seem appealing, trading in at Bergey's Subaru of Hanover offers several significant advantages:
Convenience
Complete your vehicle sale and new car purchase in one location. No need to advertise, show your car to strangers, or handle separate transactions.
Tax Savings
In Pennsylvania, you only pay sales tax on the difference between your new car price and trade-in value, potentially saving hundreds of dollars.
Immediate Transaction
No waiting for the right buyer or dealing with financing issues. Your trade-in value is immediately applied to your new purchase.
No Safety Concerns
Avoid the risks associated with meeting strangers, test drives, and handling large amounts of cash from private party sales.
Paperwork Handled
We handle all title transfers, registration, and paperwork, eliminating the hassle and potential legal issues of private sales.
Factors That Affect Your Trade-In Value
Understanding what influences your vehicle's trade-in value can help you better prepare for the appraisal process and potentially maximize your return:
Vehicle Condition
The overall condition of your vehicle's exterior, interior, and mechanical systems significantly impacts its value. Well-maintained vehicles command higher trade-in values.
Mileage
Lower mileage typically translates to higher value, but extremely low mileage isn't always better. Average mileage for the vehicle's age is often ideal.
Service History
Complete maintenance records and evidence of regular servicing can increase your vehicle's trade-in value by demonstrating proper care.
Market Demand
Popular models, colors, and features in high demand will typically receive better trade-in values than less sought-after combinations.
Age and Model Year
Newer vehicles generally hold more value, but certain model years may be more desirable due to design changes or reliability factors.
Optional Equipment
Desirable options like all-wheel drive, navigation systems, leather seats, and safety features can add significant value to your trade-in.
Tips for Maximizing Your Trade-In Value
While you can't change your vehicle's age or mileage, there are steps you can take to ensure you receive the best possible trade-in value:
Clean Inside and Out
A thorough cleaning, including professional detailing if needed, can make a significant first impression and potentially increase your trade-in offer.
Address Minor Issues
Fix small problems like burned-out bulbs, worn wiper blades, or minor scratches. The cost of these repairs is often less than the value they add.
Gather Documentation
Collect maintenance records, warranty information, and any receipts for major repairs or improvements to demonstrate your vehicle's care.
Be Honest About Condition
Accurately describe your vehicle's condition. Honesty builds trust and ensures a smoother appraisal process without surprises.

- Discuss extended loan terms to manage monthly payments
