How to Trade in a Car at Renaldo Honda

Do you want to upgrade your ride in Shelby? Trading in your current car, truck, or SUV can help you increase a down payment if you plan on using an auto loan for your purchase. Your car trade-in value depends on several factors, and our handy online tool can help you determine an estimated value you could receive. Remember, a car trade-in value is not the same as if you sell your vehicle to a private buyer. That’s because a dealer like Renaldo Honda will sell your former vehicle as a used vehicle. However, we will give you an honest and competitive offer for your car trade-in value. Read on to learn how to trade in a car with our team near Gastonia and Kings Mountain.

How to Trade In Your Car With Renaldo Honda

Perhaps you’re new to the car-buying process or it’s been a while since you last bought a car. That’s why you may need a refresher on how to trade in a car at a dealership. It’s very simple. The main advantage of learning how to trade in a car with a dealership is that you can get a cash offer right away without having to wait for a private buyer to purchase your vehicle.

If you’re wondering how to trade in a car, the process goes somewhat like this:

  • Determine an estimate for your trade-in by giving our tool some basic information, like the year, make, model, mileage, condition, and VIN. We also recommend uploading photos. We’ll also need some personal information so we can contact you with an offer.
  • Use this trade-in value to help determine an auto loan amount thanks to our payment calculator. You can also see if the trade value can cover any remaining balance on your auto loan, if any.
  • We can help you with the paperwork when learning how to trade in your car. Our expert finance team will handle the title and any loan payoff with your current lender.
  • Contact us or call 704-284-9999 to make an appointment before bringing your vehicle to Renaldo Honda if you want to see what we can offer. Also, bring the title, auto loan payoff information, registration, and car keys. We’ll inspect the vehicle and finalize the trade-in amount. Your actual trade-in offer may be slightly different from the value you see on the calculator.

Trading in a car is one of the easiest ways to reduce what you owe on your next model because you can use it for a down payment. You would have a lower monthly payment and a better interest rate because you are asking for less money to borrow from a lender.
