Learn how to trade in your used car with Suntrup Automotive Group, and let us help you with all of your car-buying needs.

How to Trade in Your Used Car Step by Step

At Suntrup Automotive Group, we make the trade-in process for your used vehicle easy, quick, and stress-free. The trade-in process can be done by following these simple steps:

  • Trade-In Value: Before you bring your vehicle for a trade-in, value your trade to see what it’s currently worth. Value your trade online at Suntrup Automotive Group using our trade-in value tool to get a quick and accurate estimate on your vehicle’s trade-in value. Our tool uses real-time market data to give you the best estimate of what your vehicle is worth, so you can get the best deal on your trade.
  • Vehicle Appraisal: Once you know what your current vehicle is worth, you’ll then need to get a proper appraisal. This is where we at Suntrup Automotive Group assist with the process. Make the drive from St. Charles to our dealership, and get your vehicle appraised by one of our experts. When you bring in your vehicle, be sure to have your trade-in value for reference as this will help with the appraisal process.
  • Cash Offer: Once the appraisal process is complete, we’ll make you an offer that you can either accept, decline, or negotiate. This is where having your vehicle’s trade-in value comes in handy. You can use your trade-in value as negotiating leverage when we make you an offer.

Why Trade in Your Used Car With Us?

Unlike many other Fenton dealerships, we’re open to negotiation when it comes to offers for used cars, and we make competitive offers. We also don’t pressure you to accept or make a decision that day, and we encourage you to think deeply about our offers, so you can make a confident decision. If you’re upside down on your current vehicle loan, we can help you consolidate what you still owe on the vehicle with the price of your new vehicle. Once you accept our final offer, we can pay you in cash or put the money towards the price of your new vehicle.
