Dealership Finance Professional signing documents

When you know how to trade in a car, you can save yourself the time and hassle involved in selling your car on your own.

You’ll have the choice of getting cash for your car or applying its market value to a new or used car. Not sure how to trade in your car? Just follow these steps from the Nissan of Florence finance department. We make trading in a car a breeze! Take a look at how easy it is. 

Get Your Trade-In Car Value

The first part of how to trade in your car is finding out what your car might be worth. You don’t want to drive in from Sumter and find out that it’s worth less than expected. All you have to do is answer some questions in our trade valuation tool, and you’ll be given an estimate of your car’s market value. While you’re in research mode take a few minutes to find out how much cars similar to yours have sold for recently in the Florence area. You can get this information from Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value®. Bring your value estimation and research results when it’s time to negotiate. 

Get an Appraisal

Contact Nissan of Florence and arrange an appointment to have your car appraised and potentially make the trade. While we don’t mind walk-ins, you might have to wait if you come in without an appointment. When you’re here one of our pre-owned sales associates or someone from our service center will inspect your vehicle to calculate our offer. We’ll consider your car’s condition and how many similar models we have on our lot. Bring in a list of any features you’ve added and your maintenance records. 

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

Once we’ve made you an offer, you’re welcome to negotiate or walk away with no obligation if you’re not satisfied with the amount. We like to keep negotiations straightforward. Your research information and the selling points of your vehicle can sometimes help you get a higher price for your trade. Once you have accepted the offer, you can finalize your trade for cash, or put the car’s value toward buying a new car. 

Trade Your Car to Nissan of Florence! 

Now that you know how to trade in a car, make an appointment with Nissan of Florence for your appraisal! In the meantime take a look at our new Nissan inventory and pre-owned models so you can start planning your purchase.
