How to Trade In Your Car: First Steps

Do you know how much your trade-in is currently worth? Determining its estimated value should be your first step. Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Norfolk partners with TradePending to bring you a quick and easy Value Your Trade tool that can provide you with an estimate in minutes. We also partner with Kelley Blue Book’s Instant Cash Offer so you can get two estimates right here on our website and compare them!

Of course, we know that our customers will be doing thorough research and may also request estimates from sources like CarMax and Carvana. Rest assured, our car buying center is prepared to beat any offer you may receive from these institutions. As a member of the Hendrick Automotive Group––one of the largest dealership groups in the country––we’re able to provide the most competitive trade-in offers in Norfolk. We know your vehicle will be of value to us because we can sell it at any one of over 110 Hendrick dealerships across the country!

Next, Have Your Trade-In Vehicle Appraised

After gathering trade-in estimates, you’ll bring your vehicle to our car buying center in Norfolk for an official appraisal. Before we make a final offer, we’ll need to examine your vehicle’s overall condition and performance to ensure it matches the information provided for the initial estimates you received. We’ll also take into consideration our nationwide used inventory to determine how your vehicle will fit and the price it’s most likely to sell for. If you have retrieved trade-in offers from sources like CarMax and Carvana, be sure to bring them with you so we can reference them.

Finally, Negotiate or Accept an Offer

After appraising your vehicle, we’ll make an official trade-in offer. You’ll have a choice to negotiate the price or accept our offer and close the deal. You can then apply the credit toward your next purchase, or accept the offer in cash if you’d like some time to think about your next move.

What happens if you still owe money on your trade-in? You can speak with our finance center about the option to consolidate what you owe with a new auto loan for your next vehicle.
