Get Your Trade-In Car Value

The first thing in the trade-in process is getting an estimate of what your car is worth. Our value your trade tool is quick and easy to use; simply fill in your vehicle’s age, condition, make, and model, and you’ll get a market value price for your car. For a second opinion, you can use Kelley Blue Book® Value or Edmunds True Market Value®.

Bring your estimate with you to the dealership so the dealer appraiser can reference it during their inspection.

Get an Appraisal

Visit Cornerstone Plymouth with your estimate in-hand and get it appraised by a member of our service team. They will perform a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s condition and vehicle history report, then give you an offer for your vehicle.

When we appraise your vehicle, we not only consider the market value, we look at how likely it is to sell on our used car lot. The more popular the model is, the higher the price we will offer.

Once we’ve given you an offer, you can choose to accept the offer or counter it.

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

After accepting the offer, the rest of the process is straightforward. We can offer you cash for your trade-in or apply the value towards a used car on our lot. Trading in your car at a dealership makes the process quicker and eases your initial financing costs.
