Frequently Asked Questions About Trade-Ins
Do I pay sales tax on the full price of my new car?
No! Sales tax is applied after the trade-in value is subtracted from the new car price.
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 loses too much value, typically around 3-5 years, is best.
