How to Trade in a Car

Time to Get Ready

Before you visit a dealership to trade your car, there are a few things you can do to prepare. The most important thing to do is to research your vehicle’s market value. You can do this easily by using our Value Your Trade tool on our website.

This will show you how much your vehicle is worth based on it’s make, model, year, and trim. However, the condition and history of vehicle will also have some effect on its actual value, so it’s a good idea to clean the vehicle.

Buffing out small scratches, repairing tears and stains in the upholstery, and taking care of minor maintenance needs can all help to secure the highest possible value for your vehicle.

Since our inventory is available online, you can browse through to find your next set of wheels before you even visit us in person. By the time you come to our dealership, you’ll be ready to breeze through the entire trade-in process.

Say Goodbye and Hello

It’s time to say goodbye to your old vehicle and hello to your new one! Bring your model into a dealership where an expert will assess the model. They’ll take its market value, condition, and history into account as they look it over.

In the meantime, you can test drive the vehicle you’re planning to buy and make sure that it’s up to your standards. If you’re happy with your choice, you’ll sit down with a finance team member who will start to craft your payment plan.

Our team member will make you an offer for your trade-in, which can be factored into your payment plan. After you look over all the numbers, you can decide whether the offer and monthly payment look good to you. Once everything is in order, we’ll swap keys, and you’ll drive home with your new set of wheels!
