How to Trade In a Car

Excited Couple Reviewing Trade in Offer with Salesman

 

If you’re getting ready to upgrade your vehicle, learning how to trade in your car can save you some serious cash at the dealership. Why? When you trade in a car for a new vehicle, you can use the trade in costs towards your next car. That means you can stretch your budget even further, while avoiding the hassles of selling on the private market in North Charleston. Learn how to trade in a car like a pro and visit Rick Hendrick Chevrolet to get the ball rolling.

Value Your Trade

The first step in learning how to trade in your car is to do some online research. Take a look at our Value Your Trade tool to get a free assessment of your car’s current value. Simply enter basic information like your make, model, and condition. Then you’ll get a free estimate on the spot, customized for the Mount Pleasant area. You can also check out sites like Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value® to figure out an average.

In-Person Assessment

The online estimate is just an informed guess, but it’s not your final offer. To get a firm offer in your hands, you’ll need to visit a dealership like Rick Hendrick Chevrolet. We recommend scheduling a meeting ahead of time to streamline the process, but you can also get a walk-in appointment in Charleston. Once you arrive, a representative will inspect your car thoroughly and pull up your vehicle history report. After crunching numbers, you’ll get a number – but, that’s just the beginning.

Negotiation Process

How do you feel about your trade in valuation? 

  • If it sounds good to you, then sign the paperwork and start looking for your new car! Our team can help you find the perfect vehicle for your wants and needs in James Island.
  • If your in-person appraisal wasn’t as generous as the online assessment, feel free to bring out your research. Our team is willing to negotiate to ensure that both parties leave with a smile.
  • If you need to consolidate your loan, we can also help you with that. Just let our finance team know, and we’ll explain your options!
