Trading-in
If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of a private sale
and aren’t too fussed about getting top dollar for your old car,
the dealer trade-in is probably the way to go.
In this scenario, you offer your car to a dealer as part of the
payment on a new one. It’s the most convenient way to get rid of
your old car, but you are unlikely to get its full value.
Be wary of high trade-in offers - the price of the car you are
buying may be increased to cover the difference. Remember that the
total changeover price – the amount you pay to leave your car and
drive away in a new one – is what ultimately matters.
