For that reason, these 3 tips will help you considerably:
1. Enter Your VIN
Entering your VIN makes it easiest to compare your vehicle to others in the market for an accurate value.
2. Be Complete
Although it takes a few extra minutes, completing the condition information will give you a more accurate number. No used car is perfect and we understand that. But since their system is entirely electronic, it's garbage-in, garbage-out.
3. Don't Rule Us Out
Look at the AutoTrader TiM value as a guaranteed minimum, NOT the last word. We would like the opportunity to bid on your car regardless of the AutoTrader number. Completing the contact information section in TiM not only locks in their offer, it also sends us the information so we can take a closer look. If you've been accurate and complete in your self-appraisal, there's more than a good chance we can make you an offer that will put a real smile on your face
