Trade-in planning for used car buyers says George Wilson
George Wilson of C.LT. Service Leasing Corp advises buyers to consider future trade-in value when shopping for a new car. He notes three years or 60,000 miles as a rough horizon, emphasizes matching features with model lines, and recommends trading in at a dealer of the same make to maximize value. A well maintained car earns a higher trade-in than a worn or mismatched model.
