How to Trade in a Car

At the Dealership

Trading in your car will generally require a visit to a car dealership. Here, you’ll get to browse through our inventory and test drive any vehicle that captures your interest while an expert evaluates your trade-in.

They’ll determine its worth based on its current market value, condition, and history. When you and our team member settle on the ideal number, you can apply its value toward the purchase of your next set of wheels.

Talking with one of our finance team members will unlock a multitude of options for you, so you’ll get to drive home with both a vehicle you love and a financing plan you can smile about.

Getting Ready

Before you visit us to trade in your vehicle, there are a few things you can do to prepare. For one thing, make sure you have all the relevant paperwork and accessories on hand. Check and see that you know where your vehicle’s title is and gather up any spare keys. If you have any records of maintenance, bringing those will be helpful as well.

You’ll need to clear out all your belongings, too. This can also be a convenient time to clean the vehicle. A model that looks like new can typically earn a higher value, so a quick wash and vacuum can be a good move.

Tools like our Value Your Trade feature can give you an idea of your vehicle’s worth, so you can start thinking about your future dream car. You can use your current car’s value as a down payment when you find your next ideal set of wheels.

We offer our entire inventory online, so you can search through ahead of time and see what vehicles we have available. By the time you come in for a visit, you’ll be ready to breeze through the trade process and hit the road with your next car.
