Minnesota Truck Headquarters of Forest Lake

Are you finally ready to make a move and get out of your old car, truck, or SUV? Minnesota Truck Headquarters of Forest Lake is a great place to start your search for the next new thing you’ll love to drive. And once you’ve landed on that perfect pre-owned — whether it’s a Ford F-150, Chevrolet Suburban, or one of our Granite Rock Edition off-road trucks — you can trade in your old vehicle and get top dollar toward your next purchase. Before you visit our showroom, there are some steps you can take to ensure that your old ride is ready to sell or trade in and help speed the process along.


The Cleaner, The Better

Whenever you go to work or head out for a nice dinner, you make it a point to make yourself presentable. Treat your old car, truck, or SUV the same way. Clean it inside and out, removing dirt and debris and giving the exterior a nice wash and wax. This also gives you the chance to spot imperfections like dents, dings, or tears in the interior fabric and even fix small issues like replacing bulbs or cleaning corrosion off the battery. First impressions matter, and a nice, clean vehicle may help get you an offer closer to what you’re looking for.

Do Some Research

Not sure what kind of offer you’re looking for? The best way to get a realistic idea of what your vehicle is worth is to look it up. Once you’ve cleaned your vehicle and taken stock of its condition, you can use an online resource to get fair market value for your vehicle that’s based on its condition and up to date. Minnesota Truck Headquarters of Forest Lake offers a convenient tool to value your trade that takes just two steps and 10 seconds to use.

Gather The Essentials

Before you come to the dealership looking to sell or deal, you’ll want to make sure you have everything we need to get things done. Among the documents you’ll need are:

  • Your registration
  • Your title
  • Proof of insurance
  • Driver’s license.

It also helps if you still have any and all original equipment that came with the vehicle, including spare keys, owner’s manuals, floor and cargo mats, and so on.
