Trade-In Value vs. Sale Value

If you go to the dealership to trade in your vehicle, you’ll find your trade-in value is far lower than what you would have gotten at a private sale. The dealer wants to sell your car at a profit and it knows it may need to spend money on repairs before it’s sale-ready. While you can get more money for your vehicle by selling your car yourself, the work involved can feel like a second job. You have to guard against scams, advertise, and deal with lowball offers from unserious buyers.

What’s My Car Worth?

We offer a third way - the convenience of a trade-in with the higher value of a private sale. Gunn Auto Buying Center makes it easy to learn the value of your car - simply plug in your information, then bring your vehicle into one of our buying centers to confirm. You can even sell your vehicle if you currently have a car loan. Don’t worry if your car’s old, either - no car is too old for us to appraise!
