What Increases Trade-In Value?

  • Condition: Well-maintained cars with minimal wear and tear fetch higher offers.
  • Age: Newer models generally have more value, but classic cars in excellent condition can be an exception.

FAQs: Taxes, Credit, and Timing

Do I pay sales tax on the full price of my new car?

No! In most cases, you only pay sales tax on the price after the trade-in value is deducted.

Can I trade in a car that I still owe money on?

Yes, but the remaining loan balance will be factored into your trade-in deal.

When is the best time to trade in my car?

Trading in your car before it loses too much value, typically around 3-5 years, is best.
