Trade in for my water damage MacBook

Can I get a trade in for my MacBook that got water damage ? Or should I fix it and if I try and fix it will it be like paying for a whole new MacBook ?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Water damage is not covered by warranty and having the Genius Bar fix it is your best solution if you need to trade it.


If you tell them that you wish to trade it, you should be issued a gift card on the spot as soon as it’s fixed. 😉

You'll need to get it repaired to trade it in. That to me seems like a losing proposition right there. I doubt seriously you'll break even on that score, most likely they'll offer you a trade in that's less than what you paid to repair. Offering the same is a waste of time and offering more is a very bad business decision.
