How to exchange a sedan for a new car?

It is best to drive the car directly to a car-selling platform with certain brand recognition and strength. Not only should you understand the price of the used car, but also the price of the new car you plan to exchange for and the recent promotional offers. When new car dealers purchase used cars for exchange, the purchase price of the used car is usually slightly lower than that offered by brokerage firms. Whether you are selling the car directly or exchanging it for a new one, the transfer procedures for the used car are crucial. If the loan on the old car has not been fully repaid, the dealer can advance the payment to settle the loan, and the amount will be included in the payment required for the new car.
Last time I changed my car, I used a sedan trade-in, and it was a great value experience. As an ordinary car owner, I first checked online for nearby 4S stores to make an appointment. I drove my old Toyota there for evaluation. The staff checked the mileage, condition, and accident records of the car, and even took a test drive for a few minutes. They gave an on-the-spot quote, and I picked out a new Hyundai SUV in the new car section. I just paid the difference of over 40,000 yuan and drove away with the new car. The whole process took only two hours, much easier than selling privately. I recommend thoroughly cleaning the interior and engine of your old car before going, and bringing all maintenance records and invoices, as this can increase the appraisal value. Also, visit a couple of stores to compare prices—some manufacturers offer trade-in subsidies or promotions, which can save you thousands extra. After the trade-in, you also avoid the hassle of transferring ownership, making it especially suitable for first-time car changers.
