How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Trade-In near Fort Stewart, GA

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Trade-In near Fort Stewart, GA

We are always looking to expand our inventory here at Chatham Parkway Lexus, so if you have a vehicle to trade, visit us today! We’d love to help you prepare it for the process in order to get the most for your car. Read on, then contact us with any questions.

Cleaning

If you are aiming to boost the value of your car or SUV, then it’s important to enhance its curb appeal. By cleaning the exterior, you can make it look like new and remove any dust or dirt that may have accumulated during drives around Eastern Georgia. This will also give you the chance to look for any scratches or dents that could be repaired. Don’t neglect the interior of the car. A quick vacuuming of the seats and floors can do wonders for the appearance. You may consider getting the cabin professionally detailed if you want to truly return it to its factory-fresh appearance. Also, remove any personal belongings, such as sunglasses and charging cables, from the interior to avoid leaving anything behind.

Maintenance

A vehicle that has been taken care of during its time in Fort Stewart is often going to fetch a higher price, so getting routine maintenance is vital. For that reason, we recommend that you swing by our Service Department for a checkup before you trade in your car. If it has been a while since your last oil change and tire rotation, now is a great time to get the vehicle up to date. While it’s beneficial to perform low-cost maintenance, getting more intensive repairs like transmission service may not be worth it. Consult our expert team to see if the task you need will boost the value of your vehicle. 

Documents

After you have used the Value Your Trade tool on our website to find the estimated worth of your car, it’s time to drop by our dealership to finalize the exchange. To expedite the process, it’s wise to bring along any necessary documents, such as the title of ownership. This lets you legally transfer the vehicle to us. The Owner’s Manual is also important, as it gives the next driver the knowledge they need to take care of the car on Highway 84. Bring along any service records that you have with you, since a history of proactive maintenance can show how well the car has been tended to. If you plan to take home another car from our sales floor, then browse through our online inventory in advance!

I had an awesome experience here buying my certified Lexus! Every member of the team from sales to finance to the technology expert who showed me all the features on my car were so kind and helpful! I am a brand new mom and wanted to kick myself for waiting until after my son was born to try to take on this task but everyone at CPL made this a breeze for this stressed out mama! I feel very comfortable with this purchase for our growing family and am so happy with our new ride :)

After 40 years in the industry as both a new car dealership partner and a VP and President in the car rental industry, all I can say is dealing with this dealership, and Sam Grant it was a 10. Sam took the time to both follow up and even had the LC500C put on a flatbed and taken to my house. Is this typical Lexus service, I can't say, but I'm not the easiest to deal with because of my background, but both Sam and their GM could not have been more perfect. I wish all dealships could be like this one. Oh, I love the car.

This dealership is exceptional.

This dealership is exceptional. Our sales lady Angela was at no point anything but professional and helpful. She showed us multiple cars, called us back when something came in she thought we would like, and answered all of our hundreds of questions without hesitation. Ultimately we did not purchase from here, but gladly would and was the best car shopping experience we have had.

Everyone at Chatham Park Lexus made us feel important, like we were superstars!

I just bought a beautiful 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe at a fair price and a full tank of gas. Brenda was the sales person, I highly recommend her, she was knowledgeable. She did not make feel pressured to buy as I shopped, but made suggestions about other vehicles on the lot, as I test drove. Everyone at Chatham Park Lexus made us feel important, like we were superstars! We visited several lots that day and hands down the respect and treatment we received was stellar. We will never shop any where else.

Jocelyn Hardee I recommend this dealership and it’s staff to anyone in the market. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Th

I would give CPL 100 stars if it was an option. This is my 2nd purchase. My 1st purchase, Angela helped me decide on a 2019 NX300.. I absolutely LOVED this vehicle.. but unfortunately just 2 months after I purchased it, I was in a horrible accident where I was T boned at approximately 80mph.. My NX saved my life. I walked away very bruised and sore, but alive. The safety ratings on this car are AMAZING! Today I got back in contact with Angela - we sat and discussed a new vehicle.. I thought I wanted another NX but decided on more room and went w/ 2020 RX350. Angela is not only honest, knowledgeable, and patient but she LISTENS!!!! She knew (yet again) just want I wanted / needed. She knows these vehicles inside and out. CPL is so lucky to have her.. she truly is the best! I also met the General Manager today. He is so sweet.. he came to wish me well on healing after the accident. He reassured me I was making the best purchase as he took the time to weigh out pros and cons of the 2019 and 2020 models.. the warranties etc. I left tonight not only excited for my purchase but feeling just like family. The dealership is absolutely beautiful, clean, friendly and cozy. The service department is wonderful.. I had just had my 5,000 mile maintenance done on my NX.. they were not pushy, completed all tasks timely. My car was then detailed and ready when they called me to pick it up. Quick and painless! I recommend this dealership and it’s staff to anyone in the market. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Thank you CPL - I am a customer for life! **pics of the accident/ I walked away from - this was my NX after taking a Dodge Charger @ 80mph to the side. **

This is my first service with the dealership and Larry was excellent.

This is my first service with the dealership and Larry was excellent. I was expecting much higher prices for a dealer and I believe they are very reasonable. They do have my business and will try them out when it is time to buy another Lexus.
