Value Your Vehicle Trade-In

One of the best ways to reduce the cost of your new car is to trade your current vehicle in toward the purchase. Here at Ruge’s Ford, we make doing so easy. From determining the value of your trade to finalizing the paperwork and getting you behind the wheel of your new vehicle, we are here to help you not only have a stress-free experience, but to make it enjoyable. If you are ready to shop for a new or pre-owned car in Rhinebeck, consider trading in your current one and shopping with us.

The Vehicle Trade-In Process

Step 1: Get a Car Value Estimate

The first step to trading in your vehicle is to find its current value. By utilizing the tool above, you can do that quite easily. Enter the make and model, the VIN, or the license plate number of your vehicle, your contact information, the vehicle’s mileage, its equipment, and its condition, and you will receive an estimated trade-in value.

Step 2: Determine Your Overall Budget

The next step in the trade-in process is to use the value estimate to help you determine your overall budget. The vehicle’s value can be used as the total down payment for the new one, or as a supplement to a cash down payment. Having that figure in mind, look at your current expenses, what various vehicles would cost monthly – after your down payment – and figure out how much you can realistically spend on your new car. If you need help with this step, we are always happy to assist.

Step 3: Find Your Next Vehicle

Now that you have an overall budget in mind, you get to enjoy the really fun part: finding your next car! You can do this by viewing our online inventory of new and used vehicles for sale, or by visiting our showroom and working with one of our friendly sales associates. Take test drives, get a feel for what you like and do not like, and then make your final decision.

Step 4: Finalize the Deal

The last step of the trade-in process is to work with the sales and finance teams to finalize the deal. Have your vehicle go through an in-person appraisal, apply for auto loans, and sign the dotted line of your paperwork. Then, go enjoy your brand-new vehicle!
