Estimate Your Trade-in Value Online 

Our dealership needs to inspect and appraise your vehicle before we can make an official offer, but if you want to get an idea of what to expect, you can value your trade using online tools. For starters, you can get a 10-second trade value on our website. All we need is your vehicle info and contact information, and you can get an instant estimate. You can continue your research from there and obtain more offers to compare against the one you got here; popular and trusted resources include Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmunds True Market Value®. 

Visit the Dealership for An Appraisal 

After estimating your trade value online, it’s time to head out from Holly Springs with your vehicle! Bring it on over to Hendrick Chevrolet Cary, where our experts will begin the appraisal process. We will inspect your vehicle inside and out to determine its overall condition, and we may take it for a quick test drive as well to see how the engine works. If needed, our service technicians may also inspect its mechanical condition. Finally, we will weigh your vehicle against our current pre-owned inventory to determine how well it would sell. 

At Hendrick Chevrolet Cary, you have the unique advantage of working with one of the nation’s largest automotive groups: Hendrick Automotive Group. As a Hendrick dealership, we can reference not just our Cary, NC pre-owned inventory, but also a larger nationwide pre-owned inventory. That means you can look forward to a higher trade-in offer than other dealers in our area can offer!

Finally, Negotiate or Accept the Offer

After appraising your vehicle, we will extend an official offer to buy it from you. It’s up to you whether you accept it, negotiate, or walk away if you need some time to consider it. If you wish to accept the offer and close the deal, you can retrieve a check from us or have the offer applied directly to your next purchase. 

Benefits of Trading in at a Dealership

• Our dealership handles all the legwork. You don’t have to deal with photographing your car, listing it online, advertising it, fielding offers, or meeting with strangers. You can bring the car to our dealership and get a same-day competitive offer—the whole process only takes about one hour or less!
• Stressing about an upside down auto loan? You can trade in a financed car at our dealership and consolidate the negative equity with a new loan on a more affordable vehicle.
