Why Trading in Your Vehicle is smart
Should I trade in my Vehicle?
“I will lose money if I trade in my vehicle!” This is one common misconception about trading in that we hear at Buerkle Acura from our customers. While that might have been the case with other dealerships in the past, that is not what our customers experience these days. Our managers use top of the line industry tools to offer great trade in value, and there are added tax benefits with that, too. To get a better idea of what our car is worth, value your trade online through our website! This will give you a nice starting point, and below you can read on the numerous reasons why our customers trade in their vehicles with us.
1. It's Easy and Safe
Now this one might seem simple, but the main reason people trade-in their vehicle is because we make it easy. When you try and sell your car yourself, the process usually isn't quick or easy. You have to list the vehicle, arrange meetings with strangers and ride in the vehicle with them, negotiate pricing with strangers, and handle all of the paperwork and titling issues. At Buerkle Acura, you'll get a hassle-free, safe experience and excellent trade in values.
2. It Reduces the Price of Your New Car
When you own your car, Buerkle Acura can apply your trade in amount to your new vehicle. For example, if you purchase an Acura from us for $30,000 and we give you $10,000 for your trade in, you only will need to finance for the difference.
3. Save Money
Saving money probably isn't the first thing that comes to your mind when you are thinking of trading in your vehicle, but with great offers and tax benefits, you might be better off financially if you trade your vehicle in. Our pre-owned manager references top industry tools and sources to help give you the best trade in value for your vehicle.
A huge benefit to trading in your vehicle is the tax benefits associated with trading in. Let's use the example above again; you traded in the $10,000 car and are purchasing the $30,000 car. In the state of Minnesota, you are only taxed on the difference in pricing between the two vehicles, and not the whole price. Instead of being taxed on a $30,000 car, you are taxed on a $20,000 car. Many of our customers save thousands with this tax benefit.
Our trade in process is simply and painless. Want an estimate of what your vehicle is worth? Head over to our "Value Your Trade" tool! This is a great number to start with, and please reach out if you have any other questions regarding the buying or trading in process!
