Why Trade in My Vehicle?

Trading in your old vehicle when you purchase a new one is a common practice, but what exactly are the benefits of doing so? For a lot of drivers, it streamlines the entire process of buying a new car by simplifying a whole bunch of steps into one easy part of the financing process.

Getting Rid of the Old Car

If you were already planning on getting rid of your old ride when the new one showed up, then trading in your old vehicle is an easy way to just make it go away without having to go through the process of selling it yourself. You can even trade in a car that needs repairs. At Dewey Barber Chevrolet, we participate in Kelley Blue Book’s Instant Cash Offer program, so you can be sure that you’re getting a fair price for your trade-in vehicle. To jumpstart the trade-in process, fill out the online KBB form on our website.

If you aren’t buying a new vehicle, trading in an old car is still beneficial. We here at Dewey Barber Chevrolet are always seeking trade-in vehicles to add to our used vehicle inventory. And trading in your vehicle is a great way to make some of your money back, so you can put it towards your next ride.

Reducing Payments on the New Car

Possibly the most obvious benefit to trading in your old ride when you get a new one is being able to put less money down on your new ride. The value of a trade-in can cover the down payment of your new vehicle, allowing your monthly payments to be lower after financing and taking out an auto loan. If all of this is done through the dealership, it simplifies three steps into one!

Tax Benefits

In some states, trading in a vehicle when buying a new one can reduce the amount of sales tax owed on the new vehicle. Remember to check your state’s tax laws for more information on this particular advantage to trading in a car.
