How To Trade in a Car

Once you’ve taken all of your prep steps necessary to boost the value of your vehicle, you will be ready to trade it in. To do so, you’ll want to bring the vehicle into our dealership for an inspection. Here we’ll make sure everything is in working order. Then, we’ll do some research regarding your vehicle’s condition and overall desirability on the market. Collecting all of this information will allow us to present you with an offer.

Once you have an offer, you can accept or even think about it for a bit. When you want to weigh your options, we offer an Edmunds Trade-In Tool, which allows you to confirm the offer we made you is fair.

When you decide to accept, all that will be left is exchanging some information. We’ll need:

• Your license
• Vehicle registration
• Vehicle title

Checking this, we’ll be able to confirm your ownership of the vehicle and finish the deal. From there, all that will be left is handing over your keys.
