At a dealership like Hendrick Cadillac Monroe, it’s easy! You can visit our dealership with your trade-in car, and our associates will be here to greet you and walk you through every step. If you’d like to learn more about the process before making the trip, learn how to trade in your car in the guide below.

First, Learn Your Car’s Current Value 

Knowing how much value your trade-in car holds can help you determine how much you can really afford to spend on your next vehicle. Our dealership provides a value your trade tool that calculates your car’s estimated value in seconds. Simply fill out the year, make, and model of your car, along with your contact information. Next, you’ll be asked to provide details about your car’s condition — the more accurately you fill out the trade-in calculator, the more accurate your trade-in estimate will be. After learning your car’s estimated value, it’s time to visit the dealership for an appraisal. 

Next, Visit the Dealership for an Appraisal 

Wondering how to trade in your car after you’ve calculated its value online? Your next step will be to visit the dealership with your vehicle. Hendrick Cadillac Monroe has a team of appraisal experts who will be ready to help when you arrive. First, we’ll assess your vehicle’s overall condition and performance levels. The next piece of the puzzle is to check how your vehicle fits into our other used inventory to determine its sellability. Because we are a dealership in the Hendrick Automotive Group, we aren’t just weighing your vehicle against the used inventory on our own lot but rather the nationwide used inventory that spans all Hendrick dealerships from the East Coast to the West Coast. For Pineville trade-in customers, that often means a higher trade-in offer! If you bring us any trade-in offers from other institutions, we will also factor those into the official offer we extend to you.

Trade-In Offer Finalization or Negotiation 

After we appraise your vehicle and make an offer, you can choose to finalize the offer, negotiate, or take some time to think it over. This level of agency in your decision is just one of the benefits of trading in your car at a dealership. Other advantages include: 

• Save Time: Between taking photos, posting your vehicle online, and filtering through messages and offers — some more legitimate than others — selling your vehicle by yourself takes a lot of time and personal effort. When you trade in or sell at a dealership, the whole process can be completed in less than an hour. 
• Fewer Risks: You don’t have to meet up with a total stranger when you sell your car to a dealership. What’s more, you can have complete confidence that the transaction is being done by the book with no worries about whether the title transfer was completed, etc. 

If you decide to accept the trade-in offer from our dealership when you’re here, you can receive the amount in a check or apply the value directly to your next vehicle.
