Whether your lifestyle has changed or you are ready for something new, trading in your vehicle doesn't have to be a hassle. Learning your car's trade-in value is helpful information before moving forward. As the area's vehicle experts, Nashville Toyota North is here to help answer your questions about trading in your vehicle. 

Vehicle Trade-In FAQ

We understand you may have questions about your used car's trade-in value, and we are here to help. If we haven't answered your question, you can rest assured that when you come to Nashville Toyota North, we're here to help you every step of the way. 

How Much Does an Accident Affect Car Value? 

If your car has been in an accident, the average impact of the retail price will depend on the accident's severity. On the lower end, a vehicle's retail price may be reduced by around $500, while a car that has sustained serious damage may see an impact of $2,100 on average. Obtaining a VIN-specific price for your vehicle is the best way to understand its worth and trade-in value. 

Is it Better to Sell a Car or Trade it In? 

While you can sometimes get more money by selling your car directly to a private buyer, it will generally take more time and effort. Trading your car into a dealership is low-effort, and a motivated dealer like Nashville Toyota North will make the process as quick and straightforward as possible. In addition, we make it as simple as possible when handling necessary paperwork and loan payoffs. 

Does Where I Live Affect My Car's Valuation? 

Yes, because the supply and demand for car sales vary by region. Prices and valuations may also trend higher in areas where the cost of living is higher, and popular models will rise in price if they grow scarce. 

Can You Trade In a Car That Isn't Paid Off? 

You can trade in a car that isn't paid off, but you will want to consider the equity you have in your vehicle. If your car is worth more than the remaining loan, you can use the positive equity towards your new vehicle. However, if you owe more than the vehicle is worth, you are considered upside down or have negative equity, so there is no credit to apply toward your new vehicle. At Nashville Toyota North, we can help you understand your options. 

Can You Trade In a Car You Are Leasing? 

You may be able to trade in a leased car, but you may be required to buy out the lease first. If you need assistance, we can help you find your vehicle's depreciated value and estimate your car's trade-in value.

Vehicle Condition

Excellent

Excellent mechanical condition, glossy paint, perfect interior
Read More ...

"Excellent"

condition means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog inspection. The engine compartment should be clean, with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new or nearly new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.

Good

No major mechanical defects or visual blemishes
Read More ...

"Good"

condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. The paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. In states where rust is a problem, this should be very minimal, and a deduction should be made to correct it. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A clean title history is assumed. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail; however major reconditioning should be deducted from the value. Most recent model cars owned by consumers fall into this category.

Fair

Some mechanical defects, visual blemishes
Read More ...

"Fair"

condition means that the vehicle probably has some mechanical or cosmetic defects, but is still in safe running condition. The paint, body and/or interior need work to be performed by a professional in order to be sold. The tires need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage. The value of cars in this category may vary widely. A clean title history is assumed. Even after significant reconditioning this vehicle may not qualify for the Blue Book Suggested Retail value.

Poor

Mechanical problems or visual defects
Read More ...

"Poor"

condition means that the vehicle has severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and may be in questionable running condition. The vehicle may have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. A vehicle with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage should be considered “poor” because of potential problems and should be independently appraised to determine its.
