Frequently Asked Questions About Trade-Ins

Do I pay sales tax on the full price of my new car?

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 starts losing significant value—usually within 3 to 5 years—is the perfect time.
