What is a trade-in? A trade-in is when you use your current vehicle as partial payment towards the purchase of a new or used vehicle at our dealership.
How does the trade-in process work at Monrovia CDJR? Our team will appraise your vehicle, providing a fair market value offer. If you accept, the value will be applied towards your new vehicle purchase.
What factors influence my trade-in value? Your vehicle's make, model, year, mileage, condition, and current market demand all play a role in determining its value.
Can I trade in my vehicle even if I still owe money on it? Yes, you can. We'll work with you to determine the payoff amount and apply any remaining equity towards your new vehicle purchase.
How do I prepare my vehicle for trade-in? Clean it thoroughly inside and out, gather all maintenance records, and ensure you have the title and registration readily available.
Can I get an estimate of my trade-in value online? Absolutely! Use our online valuation tool for a quick and convenient estimate.
Is the online estimate a final offer? No, it's an estimate to give you an idea of your vehicle's worth. We'll provide a final offer after appraising it in person.
What if I don't agree with the trade-in offer? We encourage open communication. Feel free to discuss the offer with our team and negotiate if necessary.
Can I trade in my vehicle even if I'm not buying a new one? Yes, we buy used cars outright, even if you're not purchasing a replacement from us.
How long does the trade-in process take? The appraisal process is usually quick. Once you accept the offer, we'll finalize the paperwork, which can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction.
Can I trade in my leased vehicle? Yes, you can trade in a leased vehicle. We can help you understand the specifics of your lease agreement and any potential fees.
Do you accept trade-ins of all makes and models? Yes, we welcome trade-ins of all makes and models, regardless of their age or condition.
Will you accept my trade-in even if it needs repairs? Yes, we'll consider your trade-in even if it needs repairs. The repair costs will be factored into the final offer.
Can I use my trade-in as a down payment? Absolutely! The trade-in value can be used as a down payment, reducing your financing amount.
What paperwork do I need for a trade-in? You'll need the vehicle title, registration, loan information (if applicable), and any maintenance records.
Can I test drive a new vehicle before deciding on a trade-in? Of course! We encourage you to test drive any vehicle you're interested in to ensure it's the right fit for you.
Do you offer financing options for new vehicle purchases? Yes, we have a dedicated finance team that can help you explore various financing options to find the best fit for your budget.
Is there a warranty on the new vehicle I purchase? New CDJR vehicles come with a manufacturer's warranty. We also offer extended warranty options for added peace of mind.
What if my trade-in vehicle is worth more than the new vehicle I'm buying? If your trade-in has positive equity, we can apply that towards your new vehicle purchase or issue you a check for the difference.
What happens to my old vehicle after I trade it in? Your traded-in vehicle may be reconditioned and sold as a used car or sent to auction.
Is there a fee for using the online valuation tool? No, our online valuation tool is completely free to use.
Can I trade in my vehicle at any Monrovia CDJR location? Yes, you can trade in your vehicle at any of our convenient locations.
What if I change my mind after agreeing to the trade-in? If you change your mind within a reasonable time frame and haven't finalized the paperwork, we may be able to accommodate your request.
Do you offer any incentives for trading in a vehicle? We often have special offers and incentives for trade-ins. Check our website or contact us for the latest deals.
What if I owe more on my current vehicle than its trade-in value? This is known as negative equity. In some cases, we may be able to roll the negative equity into your new loan, but it's essential to discuss this with our finance team to understand the implications.
Should I repair my vehicle before trading it in? Minor cosmetic repairs can enhance your vehicle's appeal, but major repairs might not be cost-effective. Our appraisers will assess your vehicle's condition as is and factor any necessary repairs into the final offer.
Can I trade in a vehicle with high mileage? Yes, we accept trade-ins with high mileage. The mileage will be considered in the appraisal process, but it doesn't disqualify your vehicle from being traded in.
How do I know if I'm getting a fair trade-in offer? Research the market value of your vehicle using online resources and compare it to our offer. We strive to provide fair and competitive offers based on market data and your vehicle's condition.
What if I have aftermarket parts or modifications on my vehicle? Aftermarket parts and modifications can affect the value of your trade-in, either positively or negatively. Our appraisers will assess their impact on the overall value.
Can I trade in multiple vehicles at once? Yes, we welcome multiple trade-ins. Each vehicle will be appraised individually, and their combined value can be applied towards your new vehicle purchase.
How soon can I get my new vehicle after trading in my old one? The timeline depends on various factors, including the availability of the new vehicle and the completion of paperwork. Our team will work diligently to expedite the process.
Can I trade in a vehicle that's not in running condition? We may be able to accept a non-running vehicle as a trade-in, but its value will be significantly lower due to the necessary repairs.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on the trade-in value? The trade-in value is based on the current market conditions and your vehicle's specific condition at the time of appraisal. We cannot guarantee the value will remain the same in the future.
Can I take my personalized license plates off my trade-in vehicle? Yes, you can usually keep your personalized license plates and transfer them to your new vehicle. Check with your local DMV for specific requirements.
