Find the Value of Your Trade-In Car

When you want to trade in your car in Brownsburg, the first thing you need to do is determine its value. You can do this easily with our value your trade tool. Just enter your car’s year, make, and model, as well as your name, email, and phone number. Once you add information about the vehicle’s condition, you’ll receive the estimated value of your car. 

You can also use tools like Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value®. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. 

Have Your Vehicle Appraisal

The next step to how to trade in your car is to get an appraisal. Come to our dealership in Crawfordsville with your trade-in estimate, and we’ll examine your car’s condition, inside and out. Once we take into consideration our current used inventory, we’ll determine whether we can sell your vehicle.

Negotiate Your Trade-In Offer

After your vehicle has been appraised, you can choose to either negotiate or accept the offer. Generally, this whole process is simple and straightforward. Other benefits of trading in your car at a dealership include:

• Many Danville-area used-car retailers don’t allow you to negotiate. At Christi Hubler Chevrolet, the first offer you receive isn’t necessarily set in stone. You can choose to try and haggle up based on your trade-in value research. 
• In the case that you’re upside down on your auto loan, a dealership can help you consolidate what you owe with the price of your new car. 

Once you accept your offer, either finalize your trade in for cash, or put the car’s value towards buying a new car.
