How to Trade In a Car

If you’re like most of our customers, you’ll already own a car when you come to us, and are simply looking to get a newer one. If so, you may have questions about how to trade in a car. Our finance department specializes in taking the confusion out of the car buying process. So, we’ve put together this handy guide on how to trade in your car.

How to Trade in Your Car – Know Its Value

The last thing we would want to do is to short-change you on your trade-in. And the first step in knowing how to trade in a car is knowing what it’s worth. That’s why we’ve made our online tool available that lets you know what your trade-in vehicle is worth before you even step on our lot. Take advantage of it so that you’re fully prepared.

How to Trade in a Car – Get an Appraisal

Understandably, any dealership will want to thoroughly inspect a trade-in before they make an actual offer. Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted is no exception. But we’ll also consider how your trade-in vehicle will fit in amongst our other pre-owned vehicles.

Decide Whether to Accept Our Offer

We’ll give you a fair and accurate offer after we appraise your car, and at that point you need to decide if you want to accept it, negotiate, or walk away. When making your decision, keep the following in mind:

• The first offer you’re given isn’t necessarily set in stone, and you can choose to haggle up based on the trade-in value research you’ve done.
• If you’re upside down on your auto loan and wish to consolidate what you owe with the price of your new car, a dealership can help you do that.
