Should I get my car serviced before changing it?

Hi. I am about to change my car (a 6 year old Mercedes) and it is overdue a service by 600 miles. Should I get it serviced before offering it to a dealer for part exchange? Will not servicing it affect the part exchange or trade in value?|||You can see what they offer you without the service done, then see what they offer with the service done, bearing in mind is it the A or B service interval, as they can vary, as the A service can cost about 拢250 and the B service is about 拢399. So see if the price they offer out weighs the price of the service.|||no why waste cash doing the service, you will get the same price serviced or not, don%26#039;t forget its a buyers market.|||If you%26#039;ve been servicing the car in the past on a semi-consistent scale, then, why not? Pass the savings on to the next person who is going to buy your used car. Guaranteeing them a quality used car from a reputable business these days is a dying trend. Try and do your part in return for a car that has provided you, and seal the fact that your car has a serviced background. You might get a discount or provide a good sales point as well to the company you are going to trade it into? Good Luck...|||That would be a noble thing to do..but honestly, most reputable dealers will go thru the car and do an inspection and do minor services like oil changes, fluid fills ect before they put it up for sale. I wouldn%26#039;t waste your money. They arent going to give you anymore for it..|||No it will not get you back what it would cost and any dealer buying it would do it at their cost price which would be a lot less than you would pay.|||I wouldn%26#039;t bother, you%26#039;d never recoup the cost of a full M-B service as a trade in allowance.
