WHERE CAN I TRADE IN MY CAR?

You can trade in your car with our team. After browsing and test driving some new vehicles, head over to our finance department to discuss payment options. Our team will appraise your current car, and you can find out its value. From there, you can discover what your monthly amount will total out to.

To get preapproved for credit—and have these payment options before you arrive—consider filling out our online finance application.

WHAT’S THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE?

You may want some early estimates of that value to prepare for your meeting. If so, you can use our online trade-in form to share some details about your current vehicle. It will ask for information regarding the make and model, as well as about the registration and title.

Feel free to leave more comments on the form if you’d like to provide extra information. Our team will reach out as soon as an appraisal estimate is ready.

HOW DO I GET THE BEST VALUE FOR MY CAR?

All drivers strive to get the best value for their car, whether selling it or trading it in. There are a few quick steps that you can take before your appraisal that can boost the value of your car.

One easy step is to wash your vehicle both inside and out. On the outside, you want to rinse off any grime or mud. It’s also important to remember the windshield glass and mirrors—clean them up to remove smudges and dirt.

Then, clean out the inside of your car by first removing your personal items. Take out any extra jackets, emergency equipment, receipts, or spare change so that you can thoroughly vacuum the seats and trunk space.

WHAT REPAIRS SHOULD I MAKE BEFORE TRADING IN?

Small repairs might be a good idea to get a better trade-in value, especially if they’re easy to fix. For example, your car might need some new windshield wipers, or more air added to the tires. Since these maintenance needs can be done quickly, either at home or at a local shop, consider getting them fixed.

Our service team can then take care of larger repairs and will adjust your vehicle’s value to account for them.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO TRADE IN A CAR?

Now that your vehicle is clean and repairs are done, you’ll want to get the necessary documents together. Have the following on hand when you stop by for your appraisal:

  • Vehicle title
  • Vehicle registration
  • Service records
  • Owner’s manual

It’s also important to bring the spare key, which can be used for the test drive and will be needed for the next owner. Also make sure to grab any vehicle accessories that came with the car.
