HOW DO I TRADE IN MY CAR?

You can trade in your car at the same time you select a new set of wheels. When you stop by to browse our inventory, someone from our team can appraise your vehicle. If you find a new car you like and are happy with the appraisal of your current car, you can go to our finance department to discuss payment plan options.

To get a head start, fill out our online finance application. We’ll start getting some plans ready, and you can select the one that fits best for your lifestyle.

HOW DO I BOOST MY CAR’S VALUE?

To boost your car’s trade-in value, demonstrate that it’s been well-kept. You can do so by washing the outside of the vehicle and getting it detailed if you really want it to shine. Then, vacuum the seats and trunk area to pick up any dirt or dust. Make sure you take out your personal items from the vehicle.

To boost the value even more, take care of small maintenance issues that are quick fixes. These include your vehicle’s fluid levels, interior and exterior light bulbs, and tire pressure. By making sure these are good to go, you’ll ensure you get a great value for your car.

HOW CAN I ESTIMATE MY CAR’S VALUE?

To estimate your car’s value, there are numerous online tools and resources available. On our website, you’ll find our dealership’s own trade-in form through which we can provide an estimate. The form will ask for specific information about your vehicle, such as the make, model, and trim level. You can also share information about the service records, title history, and more.

CAN I TRADE IN A CAR THAT STILL HAS LOAN PAYMENTS?

Yes, you can trade in a car you currently have loan payments for. Our dealership will cover the rest of the payments. In this situation, your vehicle’s value could still go towards your upcoming purchase.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING WHEN TRADING IN A CAR?

When trading in your car, remember to bring the following paperwork:

  • Title
  • Registration
  • Service records
  • Loan documents (if applicable)

It’s also important to bring the vehicle’s spare keys, owner’s manual, and any applicable accessories that originally came with the car.
