Between the no-shows and the endless phone calls, trading your car on the private market in Sartell can be a major headache. Luckily, learning how to trade in a car at a dealership is easy. When you head to a dealership for your Mazda trade-in, the dealership will take care of everything for you. However, it helps to do a little leg work ahead of time to get the best deal possible! Want to learn how to trade in your car for the best results? Check out our guide, and plan your visit to Eich Mazda today!

Get a MAZDA Trade-In Estimate

You can complete the first step of your Mazda trade-in process without leaving your home in Sauk Rapids. All you need to do is find a trade-in tool to get an estimate of your car’s current value. You can check out sites like Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value® or use our very own Value Your Trade tool. These free online assessments will deliver an instant estimate based on your car’s year, make, model, condition, and other self-reported factors. While these figures aren’t set in stone, they provide a good starting point for the Saint Joseph market.

Schedule an In-Person Appraisal

Once you have your estimates in hand, it’s time for the in-personal appraisal in Saint Cloud. We recommend scheduling an appointment to make the process run smoother, but walk-in appointments are available as well. Our representatives will perform a full inspection of your vehicle, and we’ll compare your car to our current used inventory. If we determine that we are able to sell your vehicle, we’ll give you a firm offer on the spot!

Negotiating Your Offer

After the appraisal, it’s time to make some decisions. If your car was valued at the price you wanted, you can start the closing process – and start shopping for that new car! But you also have additional options at Eich Mazda.

  • Do you think your car was undervalued? Be sure to bring your online estimates with you to make your case. Our team is open to negotiations, so feel free to let us know what you’ve found!
  • Are you upside down on your loan? We can consolidate what you owe with the price of your new car. Our finance department can help you find options that work with your budget and needs.
