trade-in

When you trade in your used car, you increase your down payment. This makes you more attractive to lenders and increases your financing options.

The value of your trade-in gets subtracted from the amount of money you need to finance — this means lower monthly payments for you.

We know how valuable trade-ins can be when you're buying a new car. That's why we're willing to accept yours even if you still owe money it.

The ugly truth about private car sales

There are a lot of hidden obstacles to avoid when selling on your own.

There are a lot of hidden obstacles to avoid when selling on your own.

What's your time worth? You'll be dealing with no-shows and less-than-serious buyers when you could be doing other things.

Ka-ching! You'll have to pay to fix any mechanical and cosmetic issues — and you may not recoup that money.

You have no protection. What happens when you think the car is sold and someone backs out of a deal at the last second?

Maybe you'll sell the car right away. But maybe it'll take weeks or even months. Can you afford to wait that long?

Are you a natural salesperson? If you want to sell your car for top dollar, you'll need to "talk the talk" with potential buyers.

Going for test drives with complete strangers can be a little scary. And letting them drive alone may be even riskier.

Even if you do all the homework and take all the right steps, there's no guarantee you'll get the price you want.
