I'm trading in my car for a new one... what do i need to take to the dealership?

Some vaseline. You'll get less than half what you could get selling it on a 3 day ebay auction with no reserve.

Just say no and don't do it. The value of your car is worth 10 to 20% more if you sell it yourself vs trading in the car. It doesn't take long, just detail it yourself as best you can and advertise on Craigslist and put a sign in the window.

Take your title

take proof of residence at least two forms of mail like utilities or phone bill or both

take your last three most recent pay stubs

They may want proof of something you pay on like a credit card statement

Insurance information - including your agent's name and phone number, they may want to confirm your full coverage insurance.

Take any proof of source of income you intend on using toward your credit.

Yes, maintenance records are good to ensure a good trade in.

If you do need something extra, they may allow you to send or fax it to them. If your credit checks out.

The vehicle registration documents, especially the bit you have to transfer to the new owner. (V5C if memory serves correctly).

The MOT certificate and service history.

But you probably should call the dealership to check too. They may want other bits and pieces.

Past maintenance records would be a plus. Other than that just the title.

yes, take the title and the registration. I hope you are getting a new Ford product, but if not, I still hope you enjoy it.

just dont forget the car :P

your soul!....please sign below on the line
