Value My Trade

Saying farewell to a beloved car can be one of the most bittersweet moments in life. For many drivers, their car was there for some of their most significant milestones--the first dates that turned into lasting relationships and the spontaneous cross-country road trips taken at the last minute with best friends. All those journeys taken together and the memories made can make parting with your cherished car all the more difficult, but all good things must end and buying a new car can be just as exciting.

Trading in your car can seem like a daunting experience, and you may find yourself asking, "How do I value my trade?" To make sure you get the most bang for your buck, you must familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of this process. Understanding how it works will ensure a smooth transition into your new ride. If it's time to trade in your vehicle, bring it to BMW of Cincinnati North. We will walk you through the trade-in process and make you the most competitive offer for your car.

How Do We Determine Your Car's Value?

In this era of increasingly high vehicle prices, many consumers are turning to trade-ins to get the car they want at an affordable price. Deciding to do a trade-in can be tricky, but with some research and knowledge about market prices, mileage levels, the overall condition of your car, and its popularity, you stand in good stead. Vehicle value constantly changes due to fluctuating markets, so doing your homework before making big decisions could pay off. Getting the most for your previous vehicle can translate directly into savings when purchasing a new one. By securing an attractive trade-in value, you will enjoy a substantial upfront discount on a new car or truck and lower monthly payments if financing is involved.

Investing in a car is no small decision. When it's time to upgrade, you'll want to ensure that your new ride provides the best value for money possible. We will help you through the trade-in process here at BMW of Cincinnati North. One of the first steps you must take is to determine how much your car is worth. How do we value your trade-in? Our dealership uses TradePending, an online service that offers an innovative way to assess a car's value accurately. This revolutionary tool differs from standard price estimators and provides users with detailed information on their vehicle's worth in no time. Let's dive into what makes this valuation process stand out.

TradePending is transforming the auto valuation process with a revolutionary approach. You can now get an exact value for your unique car rather than a book value estimate, drastically increasing transparency and simplicity. Whether your car has new brakes and a battery or an attractive leather seat package and only 50,000 miles, TradePending gives you more insight into how much your vehicle is worth. You can also expect an accurate and precise estimate of your vehicle's worth in ten seconds; that's considerably faster than platforms like Kelley Blue Book! With no guesswork or gray areas, you can get what you deserve for your cars without hassle.

Our dealership wants to ensure you're getting the most for your vehicle. On top of offering instant online trade-in values with TradePending, you can have your old car inspected in person by our service team. This will let you know exactly how much your vehicle is worth before you commit to trading it in for a new or used BMW model from our expansive inventory. Even if you decide that you don't want to buy today, we will make a cash offer for your car so you can consider your options.

What You Need to Trade In Your Car

If you're considering trading in your car, having the necessary information before heading to the dealership is crucial. To make sure everything goes smoothly, be sure that you've got all these essentials gathered together:

Car Title

You must have the title to ensure you can legally transfer car ownership. If you've misplaced yours, don't worry. Simply speak with our dealership staff, and we will figure out a way for you to obtain the necessary paperwork. If you have recently finished paying for your car, provide your lender's payoff release letter as well to ensure a speedy, successful title transfer process.

Car Registration

For extra proof of ownership, present your registration at the same time. Updating your vehicle registration is crucial for transferring your license plate to a new car. Ensure you are current on all state regulations before visiting us to prevent any unexpected road bumps in the trade-in process.

Loan Information

If you're still in the process of paying for your car, make sure to bring along some essential details about your loan. Knowing specifics like who is providing the loan and what account number it falls under is a great idea. Additionally, having a 10-day payoff letter describing how much more money needs to be paid off can be extremely helpful.

Maintenance Records

If you've consistently maintained your car and followed all the manufacturer's requirements, bringing its service records will be a good idea when trading it in. Showing that history could increase your trade-in value.
