Advantages of Trading It In

The terms of a trade-in deal change from dealer to dealer and from car to car, but generally speaking dealers offer one or more of these benefits:

CONVENIENCE
The car owner who trades his vehicle in can often begin and end the used-car process very quickly.

RECONDITIONING
The owner of a used car with known mechanical issues may be inclined to let the dealership worry about repairing the car to prep it for resale.

PAPERWORK
The dealership will usually handle the DMV paperwork.
