Selling My Vehicle: How You Can Get the Best Deal When You a Trade-In at Your Dealership


With every vehicle, there will come a point when you’ll know it’s time to move on and upgrade to something different. While many factors can influence your desire to get rid of your current vehicle and replace it with something different, you will need to determine one thing before you move on: How do I sell my vehicle? While there are multiple avenues through which you can sell a vehicle, the best option is through the trade-in process at your dealership.

Selling Your Vehicle Through the Trade-In Process

Selling your car, truck, or SUV on your own is possible, but it’s time-consuming and requires multiple steps and a secure and verified payment process. You’ll need to know what your vehicle is worth and determine how low you’re willing to go to get it off your hands. You’ll also need to know all the details of transferring ownership to your buyer and completing the sale process.

There’s an easy way to get the best value for your vehicle without doing any of the legwork, and it begins with the trade-in process. When you trade in your vehicle, you can sell your car and go home with a new one that day. You can exchange your vehicle for something new, something you love, and something that improves your driving experience.

How Do I Sell My Vehicle to the Dealership?

Selling your vehicle through the trade-in process is simple, seamless, and profitable because we value your trade. You can get your trade-in value online or in person at the dealership. When you bring your vehicle in, we will perform a 15 to 20-minute vehicle inspection and then provide you with an offer that’s good for seven days or 300 miles.

Once you agree to the trade-in terms, you’ll receive payment the next business day, or you can use that trade-in value toward your next new vehicle at our dealership to lower your drive-away price.

What Information Will I Need?

When you visit the dealership to complete the trade-in process, you’ll need to come with a valid state-issued ID, your vehicle registration, the vehicle title in your name, the lien release documents, your financing information, if you’re currently making payments on your vehicle, and all keys and vehicle fobs. Then, you can explore our new and preowned vehicles, find the one that’s right for you, test drive it, and take it home that day.

If you’re ready to trade in your car, truck, or SUV and experience a simple, seamless, and stress-free selling process, our sales team can walk you through all the details of a trade-in and help you find a new vehicle you love.
