Value Your Trade-In: FAQs
Question: Is it possible to trade in a financed car?
Answer: Absolutely! If your car has positive equity (meaning it's valued higher than your outstanding loan), trading it in is a breeze. The dealer will buy your car, pay off the loan, and apply the remaining value toward your new vehicle, giving you a great head start! If your car has negative equity (it's worth less than what you owe), the dealer can still purchase it and settle the loan, but the difference will be added to your new car loan. Just keep in mind, you'll need to pay that off eventually.
Question: How soon can I trade in a car that is financed?
Answer: While there isn't a strict timeline, it's always best to have positive equity in your vehicle. This is why it's important to get a trade-in value from a dealership that can give you top-dollar like Chastang Ford!
Question: What does “upside down” mean on a car loan?
Answer: Being “upside down” on a car loan means you have negative equity. For instance, if you owe $25,000 on a car that's only worth $23,000, you're considered upside down on that loan. Chastang Ford will always give the most for your vehicle and at the same time be honest and transparent if you are upside down.
Question: Can I trade in my car for a less expensive one?
Answer: Yes, you can trade in your car for a cheaper vehicle, even if you still owe money on it. For example, if you owe $15,000 but your car is valued at $20,000, the dealer can buy it as a trade-in, pay off your loan, and apply the $5,000 difference toward your new auto loan as equity. If you own the car outright and don’t have any loans, you’re completely free to trade it in for a more affordable option—it's entirely up to you!
