How Do You Trade in a Car?
After receiving your trade-in estimate, the next step is a vehicle appraisal! Our team at Cortland Used Cars will examine the condition of your car and see if it’s a good match for our used car inventory. When you come in for an appraisal, remember to bring your trade-in estimate with you!
Once we’ve assessed your car, you can negotiate or accept our offer and finalize the sale. We take pride in providing the fairest trade-in offers, making the trade-in process transparent and simple. Here are a couple of significant advantages of selling your car to a dealership like Cortland Used Cars:
Negotiate with Confidence: We encourage our customers to do their research to ensure they’re getting the most reasonable trade-in offers.
Trade in a Car with an Existing Loan: If you still owe on your car loan, you can consolidate the balance owed on your current vehicle with the price of your new purchase.
Value Your Trade-In: FAQs
Q: Can you trade in a financed car?
A: Yes, you can. If you have positive equity on the car (it’s worth more than you owe), the dealer will buy the car, pay off the loan, and put the remaining value toward your new vehicle. If you have negative equity, the dealer may still buy the car and pay off the loan, with the difference being rolled into your new car loan.
Q: How soon can you trade in a financed car?
A: While there’s no set time limit, it’s generally a good idea to wait until you have positive equity.
Q: What does it mean to be “upside down” on a car loan?
A: Being “upside down” on a car loan, or having negative equity, means you owe more on the car than it’s currently worth.
Q: Can I trade in my car for a cheaper one?
A: Absolutely! If you owe less than your car’s value, the difference can go toward your new loan as equity. If you own the car outright, you’re free to trade it in for a cheaper one without any issues.
