Common Trade-In Questions Answered
Do I pay sales tax on the full price of my new car?

Yes, if you still owe money on your car, we’ll consider that balance when making the offer.
When is the best time to trade in my car?
Trading in your car before it depreciates significantly—usually around the 3-5 year mark—is ideal.
