How to Trade In a Car

Interested in trading in your vehicle to help you save more on a new one? When you choose to trade in your car at a dealership like Findlay Acura, you can avoid more than just the hassle of having to sell it yourself. Learn more about how you can get the best offers on your trade-in car, how you can save more on a newer model, and more with our finance team near Las Vegas.

Get Your Trade-In Car Value

The first step in trading in your vehicle is to determine just how much your car is worth. This is super easy and convenient with our available value your trade tool. Simply enter in your car’s year, make, and model, along with your name, email, and phone number. From there, add information about the vehicle’s condition, and you’ll receive the estimated value of your car. If you’d prefer to research other online tools, such as Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value®, feel free to do so. We recommend getting a few quotes so you get the best deal for your model.

Get an Appraisal

After receiving your trade-in estimate, make your way to our Henderson dealership for an appraisal. When you bring in your vehicle, we’ll examine your car’s condition, inside and out, and we’ll also take into consideration our current used inventory to determine whether we can sell the vehicle. You’ll also want to be sure to bring in your trade-in value estimate (as well as other trade-in offers you may have) for our reference.

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

Once the appraisal is completed, you can either negotiate or accept our offer outright and close the deal. This process is very straightforward, which is just one of the benefits of trading in your car at a dealership. Other perks include:

• Unlike many Mesquite-area used-car retailers, you can negotiate with a dealership like Findlay Acura. 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. 

Should you accept the offer, you can finalize your trade for cash or put the car’s value toward buying a new vehicle.
