Selling/Trading In Your Vehicle – Upgrade or Get Paid!
Here at Subaru of Jacksonville Used Cars, you don’t have to buy a vehicle from us to be a part of the Subaru of Jacksonville Used Cars family – we buy vehicles, too! We are committed to giving above market value for trades. Stop by for your free appraisal anytime!
Needs can change, and when you’re looking for a different vehicle to suit your needs, you can count on Subaru of Jacksonville to help you out. You can trade-in your car, truck, or SUV or sell us your current vehicle outright when you visit us. We offer you the option to sell your car to us even if you’re not buying a car from us at the same time. Alternatively, offsetting the trade-in value of your car against one of our used models can be an easy way to get into the vehicle that matches your needs.
Subaru of Jacksonville will make a competitive offer for your used car, truck, van or SUV based on a thorough inspection of your vehicle when you bring it to us. We will then utilize the information we gather to properly appraise your vehicle to find a number we feel will be a fair and competitive offer. If you choose to accept our offer, you can then receive payment for your vehicle, or opt to put it towards one of our quality used vehicles.
Our initial vehicle appraisal is based on current market conditions and sales trends. Depending on the model, values depreciate differently based on the popularity of the vehicle, among other things. We utilize up-to-date info on nationwide sales trends and auction data to get the best possible price for your car’s make, model and year. We then take a look at the vehicle’s history report to get an idea of when it has been serviced over the years.
Next, we perform a thorough inspection of your vehicle, checking the condition of the car inside and out and looking for any problems that would affect the resale price. It’s important to note that (most) small imperfections don’t affect the price offered for a used car; we’re mostly looking for bigger damage or defects in the frame.
We’ll then take your car for a test drive, checking out basic operating functions. If there is a problem, we’ll let you know and tell you how it affects the offer we give you for your vehicle.
Car Appraisal FAQs
Can An Appraisal Be Performed Online?
We can offer a rough estimate of the potential value of your car, but for a more accurate estimate, bringing your vehicle into Subaru of Jacksonville Used Cars is the better option.
Does My Car Need To Have A Regular Maintenance History?
Regular maintenance (with receipts) tends to support the value of a car to a potential buyer, but it is not necessary to get an appraisal from Subaru of Jacksonville.
What If The Offer I Get Is Less Than The Amount That I Owe On The Car?
If the offer you receive is less than the current loan amount on your car (known as negative equity, aka “being upside down”), we’ll let you know and you’ll have the option to pay the difference in price to us to make up the shortfall. Doing this allows you to be free of the debt owed on your old car loan when the car is sold to us. Otherwise, that negative equity is consolidated into the loan on the vehicle you’re purchasing.
We accept cashier’s checks, certified funds, certified checks, cash and debit cards.
