How We Determine Your Trade-In Value

We use a mix of tools and market insights to ensure you get a fair offer for your trade-in:

• Online Valuation Tools: We reference trusted pricing sources to help guide our estimates.
• Vehicle Inspection: Our team carefully inspects your vehicle’s condition, including any mechanical or cosmetic issues.
• Auction and Wholesale Data: We compare your vehicle’s value with what similar models are currently selling for.
• Reconditioning Costs: If your vehicle needs repairs or detailing, those costs may be factored into the final trade offer.

Start with Our Online Trade-In Tool

You can get a quick and accurate estimate for your vehicle with our online Trade-In Appraisal tool. It pulls real-time market data to give you a fair value and helps you save time at the dealership. Whether you’re at home or on the go, it’s easy to get started.

What Does “Trade Value” Mean?

In simple terms, your trade value is the amount we’re willing to offer for your current vehicle when you’re putting it toward a new or pre-owned vehicle at our dealership. It’s applied directly to your next purchase, which can help reduce your down payment or monthly payments.

What Affects Your Trade-In Offer?

A few key factors play a role in determining your vehicle’s value:

• Condition: A clean, well-maintained vehicle will usually get a better offer.
• Mileage: Lower mileage often means less wear and tear, which helps your vehicle retain value.
• Market Demand: Some makes and models are in higher demand and bring stronger trade-in prices.
• Age: Newer vehicles generally hold more value than older ones.
• Accident History: A clean vehicle history report adds confidence and value.
• Service Records: Documented maintenance shows your vehicle has been well cared for.

• Clean it Inside and Out: A clean vehicle gives a better first impression.
