We also offer trade-ins at our lot. If you’re looking to sell your truck and buy another, we may be able to offer you a lower price on your new truck. Similar to the process of selling a vehicle, we’ll take the time to pair you with an expert who will use tried and true methods of finding the current value of your vehicle. Once we’ve uncovered this crucial information, we can take a look at the new vehicle you’re looking to buy and compare the values of both. From here, we can work out a deal and ensure you’re getting the proper value for both your trade-in and your new purchase.

If you’ve never gone through the process of trading in a vehicle before, you may be curious about how it works. Learning about the process means you’ll head into the trade prepared, and you’ll have a better idea of what you can expect from this sort of transaction when you work with us. The process is actually quite simple, even if the numbers make it seem complex or daunting on the surface.
During the process, our representatives will perform a thorough review of your vehicle. When you’re looking to sell your SUV or trade it in, we need to have a thorough understanding of exactly what it’s worth. This means we’ll not only be looking for scratches, dents, and other exterior issues, but also mechanical condition, the condition of your vehicle’s tires, and interior condition and features. All of these details will be considered when we create our offer, which will be fair and truly reflect the value of your vehicle.
If you owe money on the car, the process might be a little different and involve a few more steps and additional information collection. When you trade in a car that is currently subject to a loan, we will assume responsibility for the loan and continue paying it off. Therefore, we need information on how much the loan is and how that compares to the value of your car. The process differs depending on whether you’re trading in a car with positive equity or negative equity.
Having positive equity in a car means that the car is worth more than you currently owe. For example, if you owe $4,000 on your car but it’s still worth $10,000, you have $6,000 of positive equity. This can be applied directly to the purchase of your new vehicle during a trade-in. The amount of positive equity is deducted from the negotiated price of your new vehicle.
However, when you have negative equity, that means you owe more on your car than it’s worth. Imagine you’re trading in a car that has a trade-in value of $5,000, but you currently owe $7,000 on the vehicle. This means you have negative equity of $2,000. When you trade-in a vehicle with negative equity, you may have the option of paying the dealer the outstanding $2,000 or the option to roll the negative equity into your new vehicle financing loan.
Regardless of whether your equity is positive, negative, or you don’t have a loan at all, we’re here to ensure you’re getting the best deal possible when you work with us.
