When to Trade in Alfa Romeo Pre-Owned Cars?

Just as drivers are always looking for the best time to buy a new car, there’s an optimal time to trade in your Alfa Romeo pre-owned cars, too. There are a number of factors that affect the price of a car trade-in, but our dealers always offer a fair value whether or not you buy a car from us. Here are some guidelines on the best time to trade in your used car.

Ideal Mileage Level

While some people keep an eye on their odometer at all times, thinking that a used car with high mileage won’t command a high resale price, that is not always the case.

Yes, your car’s value drops slowly every time you add another 10,000 miles, but as long as the car has received regular maintenance at our Alfa Romeo service center, mileage plays less of a role than you may assume.

Best Month/Time of Year

Car buyers often focus on the best times of year to buy a car, and there is a similar line of thinking when it comes to selling a car. Values are typically higher in the first two quarters of the year, with larger drops in the final two quarters.

Best Age to Trade In

When it comes to pre-owned car values, newer is better. There isn’t one particular age when a car’s value plummets, as it declines gradually and steadily. When it’s between five to seven years past its model year, the decline in value is slow and settles.
