Advantages of Trade-In

Trading-in your existing car is perhaps the most straightforward approach to moving on to another make or model. This is because, overall, the trade-in process largely places the transition of power into the hands of our dealership-meaning you have to do less work on your end.

The trade-in process offers a relatively seamless process. Simply bring your car to our dealership for an assessment, receive a price to work with, and use said price to be used toward the vehicle of your choice.

However, it should be noted that trade-ins may sometimes deduct from the overall value of the car. This is due to factors such as a price markup with a used car depending on the trim level and model, among other things.

Advantages of Selling

Whereas trading-in is a simplistic process that allows for quick transition between the old model and a new one, selling your car allows the opportunity to make the process a bit more customized should that interest you.

Because you're choosing to sell the car as opposed to trading it in, you're given a bit more room to get the deal you want. Whereas selling the vehicle yourself can be time consuming with online ads and in-person test drives, selling your vehicle at our dealership allows for hands-free advertising.

Plus, selling your car typically raises the value of the car-even if it's just a couple of extra thousand dollars.

Do Your Research

The most important factor with either a trade-in or selling your car is knowing when to complete the deal. Time plays a big factor into the value and assessment of your existing sedan, truck, or SUV.

Let's say, for example's sake, you're wishing to trade-in your convertible to our dealership as winter approaches. Given the climate in upstate New York, drivers are likelier to search for a convertible to buy as warmer weather nears. So, by choosing the best timetable to trade-in, the value of your car can rise significantly.
