Value Your Trade
There may be many reasons why you’re considering trading in your current vehicle. Perhaps it’s no longer suitable for your family since you need more (or less) seating capacity. You may also simply want to transition from a sedan to an SUV or from a gas-powered vehicle to a hybrid. Regardless of your “why,” we can help. Here on our website, you’ll find a handy trade-in calculator that allows you to estimate your trade-in value and determine your budget for a new vehicle, as well as car-buying tips and answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Additionally, you will find that we offer fair pricing, an extensive inventory, and a genuine interest in what you’re looking for in your next vehicle. We will take the time to answer your questions and try to find the best match for your needs rather than pushing for a quick sale. All these things combined make it easy to see why trading with our team is a great choice.
How to Trade-In Your Car
Trading-in your vehicle is easier than you might think. The first thing to do is determine what your trade-in value is; then, check out our inventory of new and used vehicles. Whether you’re looking for an SUV to accommodate your growing family or you need an efficient sedan for your commute, you will find that we offer something for everyone. Once you’ve identified an ideal model, compare its cost to your trade-in value to determine your next move.
If there is a gap, you can talk with our finance team to explore your options, or you can calculate your potential payments with our online calculator. If you do find there is a gap, don’t be discouraged, as this happens all the time. Our team has developed relationships with multiple lenders over the years, and we can work to see what options are available for you. Contact us, and we will walk you through the process so you have the details you need to make an informed decision.
When you’re ready to trade-in your car, we will need a few documents, including your registration, title, and loan payoff information, as well as the keys (and the extra key fob if you have one). Once you arrive at our dealership, one of our team members will help you with the next step.
How We Value Your Trade
We use Kelley Blue Book (KBB) to determine the value of your trade. KBB is a well-known resource for assessing car values, offering estimates based on real-world market data. KBB determines a vehicle’s value based on several characteristics, including its make, model, year, mileage, condition, and location. In addition, the platform takes into account supply and demand patterns, regional pricing disparities, and economic situations to ensure that assessments are correct and up to date.
For trade-in value, KBB predicts how much a dealer would pay for a used car, along with Private Party Value, which indicates the expected price if you sell directly to another person. It also provides Retail Value, which can be used to list the car for sale at a dealership, and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Value, which applies to used vehicles that have passed manufacturer-backed inspections and reconditioning.
