The Science of Trading In Your Vehicle

Trading in your vehicle at a reputable dealership like Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland is both easy and smart. You simply drive your car in, tell a salesperson you’re thinking about a trade-in, and they’ll send over an expert from our used car department to examine it.

Our expert will run a vehicle history report and look it over to determine what the car is worth. There are several common factors involved in appraising a vehicle including the vehicle’s age, mileage, overall condition, mechanical condition, tires, number of owners, options and add-ons, seasonal demand, and even paint color.

You can also get a good idea of what your car should be worth by using our online CARFAX Value Your Trade tool. For this, you simply enter some quick data including your plate number, VIN, make, and model. Our experts will confirm your car’s details and schedule an appraisal to give you a cash offer.

You can also lookup the Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds used car purchase price.

The Ease of Trading In Your Car

Selling a vehicle requires considerable effort. You’ll need to place ads, find a spot to park/advertise, take phone calls, deal with strangers, give test drives, and negotiate with potential buyers. When selling a vehicle on your own you’ll typically get somewhere between the car’s retail and wholesale value—it all depends on your sales skills.

Trading in your vehicle at Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland is simple. We value your car for you and let you know what it’s worth. Then, you can use that amount as a down payment towards a new vehicle. At our dealership, you can count on receiving your vehicle’s wholesale value plus any trade-in specials we’re currently running.

There’s also a tax advantage to trading in rather than selling your car. Most states only charge sales tax on the difference between the trade-in value and the new car price rather than the entire new car price.

When you trade in your vehicle at Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland, you get your answer and your trade-in value immediately. There’s no long wait for your vehicle to sell so you can purchase a new one.

As with all of our products and services, at Spitzer Hyundai, our goal is your happiness. We want to give you a fair deal on your trade-in and a fair price on your next vehicle, auto loan amount, and interest rates. You can make financial decisions with confidence when you come to us.
