Trading in your current car is a smart way to save on your next vehicle purchase, and many Hood River-area drivers choose this route when updating their ride. Unsure about how to trade in your car at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership like C. H. Urness Motors Co.? Fortunately, the process is simple! See below for our guide to how to trade in a car, and be sure to follow up with our finance team if you have any further questions about buying and selling your car at C. H. Urness Motors Co.!
We’ll go over how to trade in a car step-by-step, so that you can easily understand each part of the process. First, you’ll need to find out how much your current car is worth. You can get a free trade-in value estimate online using our Value Your Trade tool, or from other resources like Kelley Blue Book Value® and Edmunds True Market Value®.
Doing so allows you to plan your budget more effectively and narrow your search for a new vehicle. We also recommend getting an estimate from all three of these sources (or more), as this will provide a more accurate figure.
With your estimated trade-in value in hand, it’s time to visit a Goldendale, WA-area dealership for an inspection and appraisal of your vehicle. Our certified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram technicians will carefully inspect your car’s condition, features, and any relevant upgrades to determine whether it is a good fit for our used vehicle inventory and the amount at which it can be resold. Then, we’ll make you a trade-in offer.
At this point, you can either accept our trade-in offer or negotiate for a higher offer. You’re also free to get an appraisal from another dealership to see if they extend a better offer. If you feel that our offer is too low, your estimated trade-in value may provide leverage for negotiating a better offer.
Learning how to trade in a car at our dealership offers numerous advantages over selling your car privately. Here are just a few:
