How to Trade in a Car

Selling a car at a dealership means you can avoid the hassle of selling your car yourself. What’s more, when you sell your car to us, you can take the money from the sale and put it towards a down payment on a new or pre-owned car. If you’re wondering how to trade in a car, the finance team at Whitten Brothers of Ashland has you covered. Follow the steps below to complete a trade-in at Whitten Brothers of Ashland! 

Get Your Trade-In Car Value

First, you’ll need to get an estimate of your car’s value. Use our valued trade-in tool to determine how much your car is worth, based on current market values. Simply input your car’s year, make, and model, as well as your contact information. Afterward, you can add more information about your car’s condition. To do more research, use tools like Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value®. 

Get an Appraisal

After you get a value estimate for your car, visit us at Whitten Brothers of Ashland to get an appraisal. We’ll inspect your car and determine whether it’s a good fit for our used car inventory. When you visit us, make sure that you bring your trade-in value estimates, so we have that information for our reference. 

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

After we’ve completed the appraisal, you can negotiate or accept our offer. Once the deal is closed, we’ll take care of the rest. You can pocket the money you earn from the sale, or put it toward the purchase of another car. When you sell at a dealership, you won’t have the hassles that come with a private sale. Here are just a couple of advantages of selling a car at a dealership: 

• You can negotiate with a dealership like Whitten Brothers of Ashland. Using the research you’ve done on your car’s value, you can haggle with us. 
• If you have negative equity on your car, a dealership like Whitten Brothers of Ashland can help you roll what’s left on your current car into a new car loan.
