Common Trade-In Questions Answered
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, we’ll factor the remaining loan balance into your trade-in deal.
When is the best time to trade in my car?
Trading in your car before it depreciates significantly—usually around the 3-5 year mark—is ideal.
