Trade-In FAQ

Can I trade in a car I still owe money on?

Yes. If you have negative equity (owe more than the car is worth), we can roll the remaining balance into your new loan with the right lender.

Does my trade-in help if I have bad credit?

Absolutely. A trade-in reduces the amount you need to finance, which lowers lender risk and significantly improves your approval odds.

How is my trade-in value estimated?

We use current Ontario market data to estimate your vehicle's value. The final appraisal is done by the dealer at pickup.

Do I need to bring my car in for an appraisal first?

No. You can start your application online right now. The physical appraisal happens when you pick up your new vehicle.

What vehicles do you accept as trade-ins?

We accept most makes and models in any condition — running or not. Even high-mileage or damaged vehicles have trade-in value.
