Cash or trade-in credit.
You have two ways to go, and you do not have to decide before you talk to us.
Sell it for cash. If you just want to sell your car, truck or SUV, we will make you an offer and buy it.
Trade it in. If you are buying from us, the value of your vehicle goes toward the purchase. It works like a down payment, so you borrow less. You can include your trade on our financing application too.
How selling or trading works.
Four steps. Nothing is final until you say yes.
Tell
Fill out the trade form on our site with your vehicle details, its condition and any payoff.
Review
We go over what you sent and get in touch with you, usually to set a time to see the vehicle.
Offer
We make you an offer, as cash or as credit toward a vehicle on our lot.
Done
Take the cash, or put the value toward your next vehicle and sign the paperwork with us in Daphne.
What to have ready.
The trade form asks for these. Having them handy makes the offer more accurate.
- Your VIN
- Year, make, model and trim
- Mileage, from the odometer
- Engine cylinders, transmission and color
- Options, like 4×4, leather, navigation, sunroof, third-row seat or tow package
- Whether it is financed, who with, and the payoff amount
- Whether it has ever been wrecked
- A short description of its condition, good and bad
Where to find the VIN
Look at the driver’s side of the dashboard through the windshield, or on the sticker in the driver’s door jamb. It is also on your title, registration and insurance card.
Still paying on it?
That is common. Get a current payoff amount from your lender. If the offer is more than you owe, the difference is yours to keep or use. If it is less, ask us how that would work for you.
How trade-in values are usually figured.
Every vehicle is different, but most dealers look at the same handful of things when they put a number on a trade.
- Year, make, model and trim
- Mileage compared with similar vehicles
- Mechanical and cosmetic condition
- Accident and title history
- Options and equipment
- Service records, if you have them
- What similar vehicles are selling for locally
- How quickly that kind of vehicle sells
A clean car with its keys, records and both remotes tends to make a better first impression. Big repairs right before a trade rarely pay for themselves, so ask us before you spend money on one.
What sellers told us.
Word for word, from Google and Facebook.
Ben and Fred were amazing!! Gave us a higher trade in value than expected and put us in a beautiful Lexus GX460. Great dealership and easy to work with. Highly recommend these guys. Will definitely go through them again next time I need a ride!
Bought a Honda from Fred, the process was super simple and he even held the car for a bit to give time to think it over. Was able to get a check written to me for my old car after the fact because I didn’t realize they did trades. Very stand up business!
Friendly, helpful, and genuine! Highly recommend! If you want a great experience this is the place to go!!!
Trade-in questions.
Can I sell my car without buying one from you?
Yes. We offer cash or trade-in credit, so if you only want to sell, tell us that on the form or when you call.
What if I still owe money on it?
You can still sell or trade it. The form asks who it is financed with and the payoff amount, and we work from that. Ask us how any difference between the offer and the payoff would be handled.
What should I bring when I come in?
Typically your title (or your lender’s details if it is financed), registration, a photo ID, every key and remote you have, and any service records. If you are not sure, call and ask.
Should I fix things before I trade it in?
Usually not. A wash and a clean-out help. Big repairs rarely add as much value as they cost, so talk to us first.
Can I use my trade-in on a financed purchase?
Yes. The credit application has a trade-in section, including your payoff and lienholder. You can estimate the effect on your payment with our payment calculator.
