Sell or Trade Your Car Akron, OH

What’s the Difference Between Selling or Trading in Your Car?

If you’re looking to get some money for a new vehicle, a good way is to sell or trade in your car to a dealership. On the surface, these two things sound the same; however, there is a difference between the two.

Selling your vehicle is exactly how it sounds. You sell your car, make some money, and walk away from the dealership.

Trading in your vehicle is something you do in the process of purchasing or leasing your next ride from the dealership. The money you make from your trade typically acts as part of your down payment on your next car.

The thing to consider when you want to sell or trade in your car is, do you want another vehicle? If you do, trade it in. If you don’t, you’re selling your vehicle.

How to Sell or Trade in Your Car

The process for selling or trading in your vehicle is pretty similar.

The first thing to do is figure out how much your current vehicle is worth. You can use our online Value Your Trade Tool to give you an idea. This tool is on our website and only takes a few minutes.

Once you’ve found out what your vehicle is worth, bring it to our dealership and let us know you’re selling or trading in your car. Either way, our team will look at your vehicle and check its condition.

Then, you’ll get an offer for your car. If you like the offer, accept it. If you’re trading in your vehicle, this information will appear on your finance deal sheet as you’re working on your options after you find your next ride.

If you’re just selling, you’ll meet with a finance team member to finish everything right then.
