Yes—trading in your current vehicle is a great way to simplify your purchase and lower your out-of-pocket cost. We assess each trade fairly using market data, vehicle condition, mileage, and specific features.
You can also start the process from home using our online trade valuation tool. When you bring the vehicle in, our appraisers will confirm its condition and finalize the offer.
- Online estimate: Use our Value My Trade tool for a ballpark figure
- In-person appraisal: A quick inspection of condition, service history, and mileage
- Transparent offers: We explain how we arrive at your trade-in value and answer any questions you may have
Remember to bring your title and registration if you own the vehicle outright. If it’s financed, we’ll obtain payoff information from your lender and handle the paperwork for you.
