YES you can definately do it. You don't even need to get a car. You can flat out sell your car to a dealership. Dealerships want cars. They can resell them on the lot or take them to the auction. They will write you a check on the spot unless you dont have the title in which you may have to wait. If you use the balance to buy another car then you get a check for the difference. In most states, the trade in value counts against the tax also. That means if you trade in a $20,000 car for a $15,000 car, there will be no sales tax. (State laws govern this but your dealership will tell you if you ask).

You should 1st find a good source for your trade value. Blackbook makes you pay, Blue book gives silly numbers. My favorite is mytradeoffer.com . It is powered by Auto Trader and gives you a real offer. Most dealerships will beat this offer by $200 to $1000 dollars depending on how bad they want the car but it is a realistic place to start.

yes but you may still owe money on the car being traded in. so the overage may not be able to put the loan of the cheaper car. most financial institutions will only finanace a car to sticker price or a little above. usally 5% only. remember the cheaper the car the less mark up. look for a vehicle that has a hudge rebate i.e. 2500 and above this will help buy down the overage.

If your car is worth more than the trade in value what happens if you trade in?

You will get what they offer. You are always better off to sell your car at below retail and buy a car without a trade. The dealer will rarely give you more than wholesale for your trade in. Sell your car, and then go buy yourself a car. You have much more leverage when buying without a trade.


What is the difference between a trade in and a cash trade in?
