Value Your Trade

Yes. You don't have to be in the market for a new vehicle to get an appraisal. We're always looking to grow our used inventory. So, if you like our offer, you can sell directly to us without making another purchase.

Several factors can influence a trade appraisal, including the year, model, mileage, equipment, overall condition, and current market demand. We use an in-person evaluation along with current market information to help determine a fair offer.

Yes, in many situations. Having an outstanding loan doesn't necessarily prevent you from trading your vehicle. We'll compare its appraised value with the current payoff amount. If your vehicle is worth more than you owe, the difference represents positive equity that can be applied toward your next vehicle. If the remaining loan balance is higher than the vehicle's appraised value, you may still have options. Our team can explain how the difference affects the transaction.

The exact requirements can depend on your situation, but gathering a few important items beforehand can help make the transaction more efficient. Before making the trip to our Searcy dealership, be sure you have a valid driver's license or other photo ID, the current registration, and the title or payoff information if the vehicle is still financed. Having all the keys, manuals, and other accessories can also be helpful.

Yes. Mileage is an important part of a vehicle appraisal, but a well-traveled vehicle doesn't automatically have little trade-in value. Its age, condition, service history, equipment, and current market demand can also affect what it's worth. A car in good condition with a solid maintenance history can still have meaningful value even with a higher odometer reading.

Yes. Overall condition is one of the factors considered when determining a vehicle's value. Exterior and interior wear, mechanical condition, previous damage, and other characteristics may all affect an appraisal. That doesn't mean your vehicle needs to be in perfect condition before you bring it to our Searcy dealership. Being as accurate as possible when filling out our trade-in form can help ensure our initial estimate is close to the official in-person offer.

Not necessarily. While you may want to clean out personal belongings and make sure your vehicle is reasonably presentable, spending a significant amount of money on repairs or cosmetic work doesn't always result in an equivalent increase in trade-in value.

If you're considering an expensive repair solely because you're preparing to trade, we encourage you to reach out to our team first. We can provide additional guidance and help you decide whether it makes sense to have the work completed before your appraisal.

They can. Some modifications may be desirable, while others could make it less appealing to certain buyers or have no effect at all. The type of modification, quality of the work, and current buyer demand can all be important factors.

Yes, we're interested in used vehicles of all makes and models.
