How To Trade In Your Car
After you have acquired a value for your trade-in car, bring your vehicle to our Johnston showroom; we are conveniently located near Des Moines and West Des Moines. We will examine your vehicle’s condition and confirm it is a good fit for our used car inventory. When you visit us for an appraisal, be sure to bring your trade-in estimate detailing what your car is worth.
After we have assessed your car, you can negotiate or accept our offer and finalize the sale. We pride ourselves on providing the fairest possible offer on trade-in vehicles and making the trade-in process transparent and simple. In fact, there are a couple of major advantages to selling your car to a dealership:
- You can negotiate at a dealership. We encourage our customers to always do their own research to make sure they are getting the most reasonable trade-in offers.
- You can trade in a financed car at a dealership. If you are upside-down on your car loan, you can consolidate what is owed on your current loan with the price of your new ride.
