Get your trade-in value with TommyCar Auto Group.
Whether you’re buying something new or just curious about the value of your current vehicle, getting a trade-in estimate is always a smart move. Use our tool below to get your real trade-in value in minutes!
Getting your trade-in value is easier than you might think. It takes just a few minutes, and we pride ourselves on a process that keeps you in control of your estimate. There is no obligation to buy or sell — just real numbers that you can work with. Here’s what to expect.
STEP 01
Enter your VIN or license plate, along with mileage and condition. The more accurate your info, the more accurate your estimate.
STEP 02
Our tool pulls real market data to give you a trade-in range based on what vehicles like yours are actually selling for right now.
STEP 03
Your estimate is yours, no strings attached. Use it as a down payment toward a new vehicle, or simply keep it in your back pocket.
We make finding (and leveraging!) your trade-in value straightforward and focused on you — just how it should be. Here are just a few reasons why more drivers choose to work with TommyCar Auto Group rather than haggling with private sellers or other dealers.
Your trade estimate is based on current market data, not a guesstimate. We use up-to-date tools to reflect your vehicle’s current value.
Getting a value doesn’t mean you’re committed to anything. Browse, compare, trade, or sell: decide on your own timeline!
If you’re ready to trade up, your offer can be applied directly toward your next vehicle, making the whole process faster and simpler.
We’ll walk you through every step, from how we arrived at your offer to how it applies to your purchase and what your options are.
A lot goes into determining what your vehicle is worth on today’s market. Understanding these factors helps you come in with the right expectations and gives you an opportunity to make small adjustments before a trade. Keep these important factors in mind:
Mileage
Lower mileage generally means higher value. If you’re close to a major mileage threshold, it may be worth trading sooner rather than later.
Market Demand
Supply and demand shift constantly. Certain makes, models, and body styles are in higher demand depending on the season and local market.
Service History
A documented service record signals to buyers (and to us) that the vehicle has been well cared for. If you have records, bring them along.
Condition
Vehicles in clean, well-maintained condition, inside and out, receive stronger offers. Minor cosmetic repairs can sometimes improve your estimate.
Trim & Features
Higher trim levels and popular packages (like AWD, sunroofs, or advanced safety tech) typically add value.
Your online estimate is based on current market data and is a strong starting point. Final offers are confirmed after a quick in-person appraisal, which usually takes just a few minutes.
Not at all. We’re happy to appraise your vehicle and make you an offer, whether or not you’re planning to purchase from us.
Trade-in offers are typically valid for 7 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first. We’ll confirm the specifics when you receive your estimate
Bring your vehicle, your driver’s license, the title (if you have it), and any loan or financing information if you still owe on the car. Service records are helpful but not required.
Yes. If you still have a loan balance, we’ll factor that into the process. In many cases, any equity you have can be applied toward your next vehicle.
We still want to see it. We appraise all vehicles regardless of condition. The offer will reflect its current state, and we’ll always be upfront with you about how we arrived at the number.
Yes! Just run each vehicle through the tool separately, or let us know when you come in, and we’ll appraise both.
We use VinCue, a live market data tool, to pull current trade-in values based on your specific vehicle’s year, make, model, trim, mileage, and condition, as well as regional demand signals.
Trading in your current vehicle is one of the smartest ways to reduce the overall cost of your next purchase. Rather than going through the hassle of listing, advertising, and negotiating a private sale, a trade-in lets you handle everything in one place. You skip the back-and-forth with strangers, avoid the risk of payment issues, and walk away with a straightforward transaction. Your trade-in value is applied directly toward your next vehicle, making the whole process faster, simpler, and easier to manage.
When you trade in at a dealership, you only pay sales tax on the difference between your trade-in value and the price of the vehicle you’re purchasing, not on the full purchase price. Those tax savings alone can make a meaningful difference, especially on higher-value vehicles. Add in the convenience of handling your sale and purchase in a single visit, no private-sale risks, and no waiting around for a buyer to come through, and trading in at a dealership is often the more practical and cost-effective choice.
It only takes a few minutes to find out what your vehicle is worth! Knowing your trade-in value gives you the knowledge and power to leverage your investment and make the best decision for your needs. There is no account required, no commitment, and no catch: simply value your trade-in with TommyCar Auto Group online today!
