When you trade in your car at a dealership, you essentially sell your vehicle to the dealer. You then apply the vehicle's cash value toward the purchase of a new car or take the money as cash. Trading in your vehicle at a dealership used to be a complicated process, with a lot of guesswork on the seller's part regarding the vehicle's worth and whether the dealer was making a fair offer. Now, trading in a car at a dealership is easier and more appealing than ever before.
Dealerships make an offer on your trade based on market data, the vehicle's condition, and current demand. Today's sellers have access to information-packed resources, such as Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds, so you can set realistic expectations before you even set foot on the lot. Dealerships simplify and streamline the process of the sale while offering competitive rates that are backed up with real-time information from internet databases.
Trading in your car at a dealership is easy. In just a few simple steps, you can prepare to offload your old car for a decent value and make your way toward a new or new-to-you vehicle.
Use reliable market tools to determine the trade-in value for your vehicle. Rate your vehicle's condition realistically, and check local listings for similar vehicles.
If you're still paying off your current vehicle, contact the lender for the payoff amount. You’ll generally be in one of three situations:
To trade in your vehicle, prepare your:
Vacuum the interior, wash the exterior, and handle easy fixes (like replacing a headlight bulb) so your vehicle presents well at appraisal.
At a dealership, you can bundle selling and buying into a single visit. The dealer values your car, processes any loan payoff, handles paperwork, and arranges the title transfer.
When you apply the value of a trade-in toward your next vehicle purchase, you may receive a tax credit on the value of your trade (rules vary by state and transaction structure).
You can combine your trade-in transaction with your new vehicle financing, which can simplify the overall paperwork and timing.
