How to Use the Car Trade-In Tool

Whether you are looking to get behind the wheel of a new Nissan vehicle, or have been wanting to check out the used cars for sale on our lot, you likely want to trade in your current vehicle as part of the process. Doing so will save you a lot of money on the purchase. The first step in saving this money, though, is utilizing the eAutoAppraise tool above to get a value estimate. Here are the steps to take and ensure you are getting the most out of your use:

Step 1: Enter Your Vehicle’s General Information

The first step is to enter some general information about your vehicle. This information includes the year, make, model, and trim of your vehicle. Once you begin typing, some options will pop up. If your vehicle shows up in those options, you can click on it. Otherwise, continue typing until your full information is displayed.

Step 2: Provide Your Name & Contact Details

Next, you need to enter some personal details. This includes your name and contact information, which is important so that we can send you a full value report after you are done utilizing the tool. At this point, you will get a general estimate, but it is important to continue to process in order to get a full, more accurate number.

Step 3: Getting Down to Your Car’s Nitty-Gritty 

To get a more specific estimate, we will need to get down to the nitty-gritty of your exact car. In this step, you will need to provide information such as the kilometers on the vehicle, the zip code you reside in, and the car’s condition. Once you have done this, you can add images or videos of the car, truck, or SUV to get the most accurate value, or you can stick with the information you have filled out, and receive a general estimate.  

Step 4 [Optional]: Let Us Know What You’re Looking for Next

If you already know what vehicle you are looking to get into next, you can input that make and model information. This way, we can show you what impact your trade value will have on the purchase, and lead you to some options among our current inventory to check out. 

Shopping for Vehicles After Finding Your Trade-In Value

Once you have used the tool above and receive a value estimate for your trade, you will be ready to determine your overall buying power for the new one. This all depends on your current financial situation which includes your income and expenses. Once you know if you can afford to pay for a monthly auto loan bill or if you need to purchase out-of-pocket, you will know your total budget limits. From there, you can begin the fun part of car shopping – finding the car!
