What to Consider in Repairs vs. Trade-In

The expense and resulting value are fundamental factors when considering the best option. Higher-mile repairs are often costly, making a trade-in an attractive alternative. Although a trade-in avoids the repair cost, it might generate less value if the repair can significantly extend the vehicle’s life. A critical consideration is the overall value resulting from each option. Entering a trade-in negotiation with a vehicle needing repairs reduces the trade-in value, increasing the cost above a vehicle not needing repairs. While a trade-in might help you reduce current expenses, you might be trading in reduced current costs with increased long-term expenses.
