If you're looking to upgrade your current vehicle or simply want to get the best value for your car, trading it in at Volkswagen of Salem County is a smart move. Located in Monroeville, NJ, and serving nearby communities like Woodstown and Alloway Township, our dealership makes the trade-in process straightforward and rewarding.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to trade in your vehicle with confidence.
Step 1: Know Your Vehicle’s Value
Before visiting the dealership, it helps to have an idea of what your current vehicle is worth. You can use online tools such as Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds to get an estimated trade-in value based on your vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage, condition, and market demand.
Volkswagen of Salem County also offers an online trade-in estimator. Simply input your vehicle details, and we’ll give you a preliminary offer so you can plan ahead.
Step 2: Gather Important Documents
To streamline the process, bring the following items when you come to the dealership:
- Vehicle title (or lien payoff information)
- Valid registration
- Driver’s license or government-issued ID
- All keys/remotes
- Maintenance and service records (if available)
Having these documents ready can speed up the trade-in evaluation and help you get a more accurate offer.
Step 3: Schedule a Vehicle Appraisal
Next, bring your car to Volkswagen of Salem County for an in-person appraisal. One of our trained staff members will inspect your vehicle’s condition inside and out, check the mileage, test basic functionality, and evaluate current market trends. This thorough process helps us determine a competitive and fair trade-in value.
Appraisals typically take less than 30 minutes, and we strive to provide an offer on the spot.
Step 4: Review the Offer
After the appraisal, you’ll receive a trade-in offer from our team. This offer can be applied as a down payment toward a new or used Volkswagen or issued as a cash payment, depending on your preference. We’re happy to answer any questions you have so you can make an informed decision.
Step 5: Apply Your Trade-In to a New Vehicle
Many customers use their trade-in value to reduce the cost of a new or certified pre-owned Volkswagen. Our sales team will help you browse inventory options that match your preferences and budget. Whether you’re eyeing a Volkswagen Tiguan, Jetta, Atlas, or ID.4, you can drive off in a new vehicle with added savings from your trade.
Step 6: Finalize Paperwork
Once you’ve chosen your next vehicle or decided to accept the cash offer, our finance department will walk you through the final paperwork. If your current car still has a loan balance, we’ll assist with the payoff process and ensure a smooth transition.
