What’s Your Vehicle’s Value? Use Our Online Tool to Find Out

Online Car Shopping It’s important to determine your vehicle’s value before you begin the trade-in process. There are several factors that determine a vehicle’s value, such as age, mileage, local market, and vehicle features.

You could spend time researching these individual components, or you can let us do the research for you. When you use our online trade-in tool, you can receive a value for your vehicle within minutes. To get started, all you need is to provide basic information and some photos.

Once this value is generated, you can then use it as a baseline to potentially increase your vehicle’s trade-in value. Easy ways you can do that is to have your vehicle thoroughly cleaned and detailed, schedule any overdue service, and resolve any outstanding recalls.

How Does the Trade Alter My Monthly Payments?

Auto FinancingTrading in a vehicle offers several benefits, including the potential for lower monthly payments and the simplicity of swapping your current vehicle for a new model.

The reason why trading in your vehicle could lead to decreased lower monthly payments is because the trade value gets put toward the purchase of your new vehicle as a down payment.

You can learn more about how your vehicle’s trade could lower your payments by exploring our Payment Calculator tool. Simply plug in finance information—like the price of the new car, the loan term, the trade value, and any additional down payments—to see how your monthly payments change with each addition.

Prepping Your Vehicle for Trade Can Further Streamline the Trade-in Process

Cleaning CarWhen you’ve completed all other steps included in our vehicle trade-in checklist, the only thing left is to prepare your vehicle for the trade.

First, you’ll want to remove any personal belongings. These include items like a phone charger, any dashboard accessories, and trinkets collected from road trips.

In the days leading up to the trade, you’ll want to gather all necessary paperwork. This includes the vehicle’s title, registration, and proof of sale. Extras such as maintenance records and warranty information are helpful but not required.

Taking these steps ahead of time can help decrease the time spent in our finance center and provide more time you’ll spend enjoying your new vehicle.
