Car Dealership Trade-in Perks
There are plenty of benefits to trading in your vehicle to a dealership. If you’re looking for a confident and secure way to get rid of your current ride, there aren’t many better options than trading it in.
Trading in your vehicle at a dealership combines selling your car and purchasing a new one into a single, straightforward process. When you trade in your vehicle, you receive credit for your current car to put toward a down payment on your next one.
In turn, this will reduce the amount you may need to finance, which will save you money in the long run. Some of the additional benefits that come with trading in your car at a dealership include:
- Simple Steps: The dealership will take care of all the necessary DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) paperwork, such as the title transfer.
- Quick: By working directly with the dealership and handling everything at once, you can get behind the wheel of your next car much faster.
- Tax Benefits: In most states, including Wyoming and Nebraska, you pay sales tax on the cost of your next car minus the trade-in value of your current one rather than the full value of the car you’re buying.
With these benefits—and so many more—trading in your current vehicle is a quick, easy, and convenient way to get rid of one car and get behind the wheel of something brand new. Plus, you’ll always have the help of the dealership experts to assist you through the process.
How to Calculate the Value of Your Car
One way to calculate the value of your car is by checking your vehicle’s history report using CARFAX® or another trusted online service. Doing this will help you assess everything that could impact the value of your car. To view an estimated value for your car, you’ll need to plug in a few details, such as the following:
- Make
- Model
- Mileage
- Year
You’ll also need to input information about the current condition of your car along with either your VIN (vehicle identification number) or license plate number. Another helpful resource for calculating the value of your car is our convenient Value Your Trade tool.
With our tool, you’ll not only be able to find out how much your current car is worth, but you’ll also have an easier time finding out how much of its trade-in value can be put toward your next ride. If you have any questions regarding our trade-in tool or any other resources in our online financing suite, a member of our finance team will always be a quick call away.

Again, if you have any additional questions about the program—or any other online tools—our finance team will be here to help.
Tips for Getting the Most for Your Car
To get the best possible deal, you’ll need to get your car ready for the dealership. Any dealership will prefer a vehicle in tip-top shape so they can list it right on their lot once the trade-in process is complete.
Luckily, there are a few easy steps you can take to prepare your car before trading it in, such as:
- Wash & clean the exterior
- Wipe down mechanical areas, like the engine compartment
- Remove all your personal belongings ahead of time so nothing gets left behind
- Clean & detail the interior from top to bottom, especially the windows, seats, center console, & dashboard
- Schedule minor repairs to fix things like oil leaks or broken taillights to increase the value of your car
Before you kick off the trade-in process, you’ll want to have your vehicle inspected. A factory-trained and -certified technician at our service center will be happy to provide not just a multi-point inspection but all the additional services your car needs to get “showroom ready.”
One thing to consider, however, is how much you want to spend on maintenance and repairs before you trade it in. You’ll want to make sure this amount doesn’t exceed your vehicle’s trade-in value. Otherwise, you won’t see much profit from your trade-in.
