Car dealer giving car key to buyer

 

If you have followed your vehicle’s service schedule and regularly cleaned and detailed the interior and exterior, you are probably overdue for an upgrade. If you are in the market for a new vehicle near Ocala and are wondering how to trade in a car, Sullivan Cadillac has provided you with a simple guide below on how to trade in your car. The guide provided below will enhance your road trip to Gainesville.

Get Your Trade-In Car Value

The simplest steps to obtaining your trade-in value are detailed below:

  • Use the Sullivan Cadillac trade-in form
  • Lady Lake drivers can enter their personal information such as name, email, and phone number.
  • You can then enter your car’s year, make, model, and name. Additionally, you need to complete information about the automobile’s condition, then the value of the car is calculated. Look on Kelley Blue Book® Value as well to get a more accurate range when it is time to assess and negotiate.

How to Trade-In Your Car: Assessment Process

The next step is to visit our dealership near The Villages to get an assessment. Our process is evaluating your car’s exterior, interior, as well under the hood and comparing it with our current pre-owned inventory to decide whether it has resale value.

How to Trade-In Your Car: Negotiation Process

You can choose to negotiate or accept the deal. That’s why it’s an advantage to trade your car at a Ocala dealership. Here are some more benefits to choosing a dealership:

  • Used car retailers leave no wiggle room for negotiation, leaving you stuck with a price point that you feel is not fair. 
  • Traditional dealerships are also better equipped to help drivers with auto loan consolidation.

Once you and the dealership have reached an agreement, you can either pocket the cash or use it towards your new purchase.
