How does trading in your car at a dealership work?

You sell your current car to the dealer, who appraises it and gives you a trade-in offer. That amount gets credited toward your next car purchase!

Example: Trade-in offer of $10K on a $25K car means you pay the difference (plus taxes).

It’s super convenient — dealer handles the paperwork, and you can trade in & buy a new car the same day!

Just bring your title (or loan info), keys, and any accessories.
