The MAX Trade Event is a one-day vehicle buying event designed to help you receive the highest possible value for your vehicle. Using our extensive network of retail, wholesale, fleet, and export buyers, we leverage every available resource to create the strongest possible offer for your vehicle.

No. We believe strong offers sell vehicles—not pressure. Receive your appraisal, review your options, and decide what's best for you. Sell today or walk away with valuable information at no cost.

Nothing. Vehicle appraisals, market evaluations, and purchase offers are completely free. Every attendee will also receive a complimentary vehicle history report, be entered into our prize draws and giveaways, and enjoy a free lunch on us. Come out, have some fun, and discover what your vehicle is really worth!

Appointments take approximately 45 minutes from check-in to receiving your offer. To ensure we can provide your appraisal, vehicle history report, market evaluation, and purchase offer within your appointment window, we ask that you arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

Instead of receiving just one opinion, your vehicle is evaluated through multiple buying channels—including retail, wholesale, fleet, and export markets. By leveraging multiple buyers and markets, we create maximum competition for your vehicle to help ensure you receive the highest possible value. 

Absolutely. We purchase vehicles outright whether you buy another vehicle or not.

We review current market conditions, vehicle condition, mileage, history, and real-time buyer demand.

We are actively looking for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and specialty vehicles of all makes and models. If your vehicle is a 2018 model year or older, please contact us before the event so we can review it in advance. We love great vehicles and want to make sure every vehicle we purchase finds the right new home while maximizing value for its current owner.

We are interested in vehicles of all conditions and mileage ranges. A simple question to ask yourself is: "Would I feel comfortable selling this vehicle to a friend or family member?"

Yes, please book Appointments at www.maxtradeevent.ca or contact Erinwood Ford directly to book an appointment. Walk-ins will be accommodated when possible, however appointments will be prioritized. 

Certain vehicles have strong demand in export, wholesale or retail markets, creating opportunities for higher offers.

Many owners discover their vehicle is worth significantly more than they expected and leave with options they never knew existed. With ongoing market changes, tariff uncertainty, fluctuating vehicle values, and evolving buying trends, it can be difficult to know what your vehicle is truly worth. Our team will guide you through the process, provide clear information, and help ensure you receive maximum value for your vehicle.

That's exactly why you should attend. Most people have no idea what their vehicle is worth in today's market, and many are surprised by the opportunities available to them. The MAX Trade Event is designed to provide valuable information, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions—whether you're ready to sell today, next month, or next year.

This event was built with consumers in mind. We encourage you to ask questions, explore your options, gather valuable market information, and enjoy a great day with our team. Whether you choose to sell your vehicle or not, you'll leave with a better understanding of its value and the confidence to make the right decision when the time comes.
