Trade-in

Find out what your current vehicle is worth

Tell us about your vehicle and add a few photos. We'll follow up with a preliminary estimate you can put toward your next car.

How it works

How trade-in estimates work

  1. Share the details

    Enter the year, make, model, mileage, and condition. A VIN or plate number and a few photos help us be more accurate.

  2. Get a preliminary estimate

    A member of our team reviews your information and follows up with a preliminary estimate by your preferred contact method.

  3. Inspection confirms the value

    We look the vehicle over in person. The final offer reflects what we find, so an honest description up front means fewer surprises.

  4. Put it toward your next vehicle

    Your trade-in value can be applied to the vehicle you choose, which can lower the amount you need to pay or finance.

Good to know: Online estimates are preliminary and subject to a physical inspection.

Still making payments?

That's common, and it doesn't rule out a trade-in. Include an approximate payoff amount in the form — an estimate is fine — and have your lender's name handy.

If your vehicle is worth more than you owe, the difference can go toward your next purchase. If you owe more than it's worth, we'll show you exactly how that affects the numbers before you decide anything.

What affects your trade-in value

Every vehicle is different. These are the main things we consider:

  • Year, mileage, and overall condition
  • Trim level, options, and equipment
  • Mechanical condition and any warning lights
  • Accident, damage, and repair history
  • Tire and brake wear
  • Current market demand for that make and model
  • Service records and spare keys, when you have them

What to bring to the inspection

  • The title, or your lender's name and account details if there's a loan
  • Current registration
  • All keys and remotes
  • A valid driver's license

Get your preliminary estimate

It only takes a few details. Photos are optional but helpful.
