Our finance team is here to help you get the best offer on your trade-in car, so follow the steps below to get started!

Get Your Trade-In Car Value

The first thing you’ll need to do is to determine just how much your car is worth. Fortunately Scott Evans Nissan makes this step quick and easy for Carrollton drivers with the value your trade tool. All you need to do is enter the car’s year, make, model, and condition as well as your name, email, and phone number. From there, you’ll receive an estimation of your car’s value. You can also use the Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value® for more research.

Get an Appraisal

Once you have a trade-in estimate, come visit Scott Evans Nissan near Douglasville to get an appraisal. When you arrive, we will examine your vehicle’s condition and evaluate our current used inventory to determine whether your vehicle is sellable. Make sure to bring in your trade-in value estimate for reference. 

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

Once we have completed the appraisal, you can choose to either negotiate or close the deal right there. The advantage of trading in your car at a dealership is that the process is very simple and straightforward. Other advantages include:

  • The ability to haggle based on the trade-in research you’ve completed unlike used-car retailers near Villa Rica.
  • If you need to consolidate what you owe on your auto loan with the price of your new car, a dealership can help you with that.

You can finalize your trade for cash or put the car’s value toward buying a new car.
