Where Do I Begin the Process of Trading in a Vehicle?

Step 1: Price your Trade-in

Firstly, you’ll want to figure out the value of your old vehicle that you plan to trade-in. You can do this by using online tools like Kelley Blue Book or our Value Your Trade feature on one of our dealership websites. Make sure you’re as honest and accurate about its condition so you get the right estimate of your trade-in’s worth.

Step 2: Clean it Up

Next, you’ll want to clean up your old vehicle’s interior and exterior to present it at the best value possible. You don’t have to put too much money into this step, but making sure all crucial parts are working properly and everything looks fresh is a great way to boost the value of your trade-in, which means more money towards your new Nissan!

Step 3: Collect all the Documents and Items of your Trade-in

When you go to the dealership for a quote, make sure you bring these items with you:

• Vehicle Title (aka “pink slip”)
• Auto Loan Payoff and Account Info (if you have an auto loan)
• Vehicle Registration
• Your Driver’s License
• All Sets of Keys

Step 4: Negotiate

Now you’re ready to head to the dealership and negotiate a deal on a brand new Nissan, which includes the value of your trade-in which is deducted from the overall cost. At Boch Nissan South, we will walk you through the entire process and always try to give you the fairest price on your trade-in.
