When it comes time to get your new vehicle, you have to decide what to do with the old one. Sometimes it's right to keep it, but for most people, it's best to sell it or trade it in. There are a lot of trade-in benefits you can access when you head to your Chevy dealership. From simplifying the process to saving you hassle and money at the same time, here's why you should consider it.
Four Trade-In Benefits at Your Chevy Dealership
In Michigan, sales tax is only charged on the difference between your new vehicle’s price and your trade-in’s value. Trading in your vehicle at a Michigan dealership like Dean Arbour Chevrolet can save you hundreds of dollars on sales tax, making the overall cost of your next Chevy more affordable.
Lower Your Down Payment
The first, and possibly the most important benefit of trading in your vehicle is it immediately benefits you. Your current vehicle has real cash value, and trading it in can dramatically lower what you owe on your next car. Many East Tawas buyers are surprised to learn that their trade-in can cover all or most of their down payment meaning lower monthly payments or a shorter loan term. Combine your trade-in value with any savings or rebates, and you’ve just made your next Chevy more affordable.
Get a Car and Driver Evaluation
When you sell privately, your first step is to evaluate your trade and then advertise it for sale. You can count on each interested buyer doing everything possible to devalue your vehicle to get the best deal for themselves. Some won't even bother to check Kelley Blue Book or Car and Driver to get a genuine valuation of the vehicle: they're just thinking about what they want to pay and the deal they're hoping to get.
When you trade in at the dealership, you don't have to worry about any of this. You can instantly value your trade online with us according to Car and Driver Black Book® data, and the whole thing takes just about 20 seconds. Then all you have to do is let us take a quick look to verify that the general condition of the car is as described, and what you're told is what you get. There's no hassle and there's no haggle.
Convenient, Money-Saving Process
When you trade your old vehicle in, the whole process is simple. We've just described the evaluation process above, but it's more than that. If you were to sell privately, you'd have to deal with transferring the title, figuring out how to pay taxes on your own, and making sure that the private buyer's payment goes through. When you trade your vehicle in, we take care of all of that bureaucracy. Beyond that, you can also save money because you won't be paying the same amount of sales tax if you're just rolling the value of your vehicle over into a new car rather than selling it for cash.
Whether you're upgrading to a new Chevy or transitioning from one vehicle to another, trading in at our East Tawas dealership comes with exclusive advantages
