Value Your Trade

Find Your Vehicle’s Trade-In Value

It is commonly understood that trading in your current vehicle when purchasing a new one is a good idea. Who wouldn’t want to save money on their new car? Plus, selling your old vehicle on your own can be time-consuming and stressful; letting the dealership take care of the transactions makes everything a whole lot easier. But before you decide if you want to trade your vehicle—or determine whether or not you are ready to shop for something new—you will need to know how much your car, truck, or SUV is worth. Our online vehicle value tool can give you an estimate of how much you can get for your trade and our dealership professionals can walk you through the rest of the process.

Using the Vehicle Valuation Tool

Using the valuation tool on our site is easy. The first step is to enter the year, make, model, and trim of your vehicle. Next, fill out your contact information so that we can reach out with your estimate. At this point, the tool will give you a general estimate of your vehicle’s value. Don’t stop there, though, because this is only based on the general information about the car. To get the most accurate number, you will need to continue on and provide specific details about your vehicle.

In the following steps, the tool will prompt you to fill out information such as your postal code and the number of kilometers on the car. You will also need to identify your vehicle’s condition—average, good, or excellent. You then have the option to add photos and videos that show the car’s damage, or lack thereof, to get an almost-exact approximation. Once you have entered all of the details and have your estimate, you can choose to input your replacement vehicle, whether it be a new Nissan or a used car, if you know what that will be. Once you reach the final tool page, you can set up an appointment to visit us in person and finalize your deal. If you do not yet know what your replacement will be, you can leave that spot blank and swing by to learn more about our current inventory. We are always on standby to help you get behind the wheel of your next vehicle.

Trading In Your Vehicle - Q&A

Should I Trade In My Vehicle?

You should certainly trade in your vehicle if you are looking to get something new. Keeping a car that you are no longer going to drive is a waste of space and money. Selling the car on your own time can be challenging and you likely will not get all that the vehicle is worth when you go that route. The best option is trading in your vehicle at a dealership: it will bring down the cost of your new purchase, take less time, and guarantee that you receive the full value.

What Is the Process of Trading In Your Car?

When you are trading in your car, there are actually only a few steps you need to take. First, you need to get your trade vehicle’s value estmate. Once you have the estimate, you can determine your budget and find a new car in the right price range. Then you can swing by the dealership to get your car officially appraised, test drive the new one, finalize the deal, and drive off the lot with a smile on your face.

Can I Trade In My Vehicle That Has a Lien on It?

Yes, you can trade in your vehicle that has a lien on it. In fact, when you do so with us at Northside Nissan, we will work with your current lender to settle the loan and apply the remaining money to your new auto loan. You simply give us the information and we will make sure all else is handled.
