CARFAX Trade-In or Sell?

“Should I trade my car or sell it outright? Help!”

This is question commonly asked by car owners who are looking to make the most money off their old vehicle. While selling certainly allows for the possibility of getting more cash in your pocket, is it worth the extra hassle and risks?

Benefits of Trading in at the Dealership

• You can receive a state tax credit on your vehicle’s trade-in value when exchanging it for a new car.
• Lowers your monthly car payments by reducing the purchase price of your new car. (Use our auto loan payment calculator to see how much you can save.)
• Supplement part of or the entirety of your down payment with your trade-in value.
• Absolutely no hassles! Simply drive it into the car dealership and allow them to assess and value it.
• No risks of getting scammed, conned, or robbed.
• You don’t have to advertise online.
• No waiting – simply come in with your old car and leave in a new Hyundai the same afternoon.
• No negotiating necessary.
• You can trade in a financed car even if you have negative equity (are upside-down). Most dealers and auto finance centers near you will allow you to roll over that balance onto your next car loan. (Get pre-approved for car financing before you trade in or shop.)

So, if you’re ready to sell your current vehicle, be sure you’re actually ready to go through a lot of hard work to get a buyer. Otherwise, it’s far easier to sell your car to the dealer in exchange for another new or used vehicle.
