Trade-In Process

Before we go over the trade-in process, we want to touch on what it means if you’re “upside-down” on your vehicle loan. If your vehicle is worth more than the amount of money you owe on the auto loan, then you have positive equity. On the other hand, if your vehicle is worth less than the amount of money you owe, then you’re “upside-down” or have negative equity. No matter the situation, you can apply for financing and one of our experts will guide you through the next steps. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s how you can trade-in your financed car:

1. Find out how much you still owe on your current vehicle loan. You can do this by contacting your lender or checking your monthly statements.
2. You’ll want to estimate your vehicle’s worth by utilizing our value trade tool.
3. If you have positive or negative equity in your vehicle loan, let our team or your lender know so that they can work that into your new automotive loan.
4. Finalize the paperwork, and you’ll be on your way with your new vehicle shortly!
