If it's time to upgrade your ride and you want a new Ford, you can use your existing vehicle to pay for a part of your new vehicle purchase. To save you the hassle of a private vehicle sale, here are the trade-in benefits you can take advantage of at our Ford dealership. more Quick and Easy Process The main advantage of trading in your vehicle at our dealership is the quick, hassle-free process. You can use our online tool for a trade-in appraisal, then visit our dealership to get a formal offer. Once you accept the offer, we can help with everything else. Trading in your vehicle also saves you time compared to selling it privately, as you won't have to meet with potential buyers and arrange test drives. Savings and Sales Tax Advantages When selling a vehicle privately, the buyer will send the money to your bank account. This means you will have to pay sales tax, and only then will you be able to use the remaining balance to cover a part of your new vehicle purchase. When trading in at our dealership, you won't have to deal with all these complicated steps. We will deduct the trade-in amount directly from your new vehicle's retail price, which means you won't have to pay sales tax for selling your old vehicle. By using the trade-in value to reduce your new vehicle's retail price, you will also be able to save on sales tax on your new purchase, as you'll only be taxed on the amount you'll actually pay. Combined with additional price reductions and incentives, you can save a lot on your new purchase. It Can Cover Your Down Payment If you're financing your new vehicle purchase with an auto loan, you can also use the trade-in value of your vehicle to cover the down payment. Depending on your trade-in's condition, its value might cover the down payment in full. This means you'll be able to keep more cash on hand or use the extra amount to pay for optional features and upgrades. If your vehicle is relatively new, its value might even allow you to pay more upfront so you can take out a lower loan and save on interest rates.
