How to Trade in a Car

1). Research Your Vehicle's Trade-in Value

The first step in trading in your car is researching your vehicle's estimated value. You can get an in-person estimate by visiting a dealership or you can utilize online tools to get an estimate without ever leaving home.

Looking to take the digital route? We offer a complimentary trade-in tool on our website. When using our tool, you'll get a firm offer within five minutes of completion.

Some of the information you'll need to know when filling out our trade-in tool form includes:

• VIN (vehicle identification number) or license plate
• Mileage
• Drivetrain
• Special features
• And more

After filling out our form, you'll be one step closer to understanding the value of your current ride.

2). Get Your Vehicle Ready for Trade-in

It's been said that good first impressions are necessary. To get the most out of your vehicle trade-in, it needs to make a good first impression. That means making sure it's spick and span. Take some time to give your current ride a thorough scrubbing both inside and out.

Getting your vehicle ready for trade-in also means clearing any technology, which could include:

• Saved infotainment features
• Built-in transmitter, if applicable
• Call history

During this time, you'll also want to check if your vehicle is fully paid off. If there's a balance on your loan, you'll want to bring this information along with you when you're ready to trade in the vehicle.

3). Trade-in Next Steps

Once you've received an offer for your vehicle and have it ready to trade in, the next step is to decide which Audi will look best parked in your driveway. With plenty of advanced technologies and premium amenities, Audi offers plenty of sedan, SUV, and Sportback options to choose from.

Browse our online showroom to see which models are currently for sale. Be sure to use our filters to narrow down your search based on things like body style, color, and trim level. You can also search for specific features, such as

• Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
• Advanced safety monitoring features
• Hands-free liftgate
• Navigation systems
• Third-row seating

When you've decided which Audi is right for you, all that's left is to head to our dealership and finalize the trade-in. Once here, you'll meet with one of our expert financers who'll get your custom financing plan and trade-in organized.
