How Ford Trade-Ins Work

Trade -In

You can conveniently sell your vehicle, without all that selling hassle, by trading it in. Whether you’re wondering, “Can I sell my Ford Mustang Mach-E?” or simply how much your vehicle is worth, we can help. We’re diving into all the details at Kearny Mesa Ford.

What Is a Trade-in?

When you own a vehicle, you can opt to sell it to a friend or family member, or list it online. You can also opt to sell it to a dealership. When you sell your vehicle to our dealership, and apply the equity to a new purchase, that’s known as a trade-in.

Why Should I Trade My Vehicle in?

There are lots of perks to trading your vehicle in to our dealership — and avoiding the hassle of selling is certainly one of the biggest. That means you don’t have to take all the pictures, make multiple postings, and deal with countless messages and questions. Plus, you don’t have to worry about meeting with strangers to discuss (or drive) your car.

How Much Will I Get?

When you first visit our dealership, our team will assess your vehicle. We will look at its condition and check for any damage, as well as give it a comprehensive road test. We’ll also consider its current market value and adjust accordingly. Then, we’ll let you know the estimated trade-in value for your car.

How Does it Apply to a New Purchase?

You always have the option to simply sell your vehicle to our dealership. However, many drivers opt to use it as a trade-in, which means that you will apply its equity to the purchase of one of our new or pre-owned vehicles. That essentially serves as a down payment on your new Ford vehicle.

What Do I Need to Trade in My Car?

To get the best trade-in value, we recommend preparing your vehicle as if you’re selling it online. Clean it carefully and remove any personal belongings. Make sure to gather all appropriate documentation including your title, registration, and owner’s manual. Don’t forget to grab all your car keys.
