Trading In

How trade-in works

Four steps from the car you have to the one you want. Nothing is committed until you sign.

  1. Step 1

    Get your offer

    Enter your VIN or plate and answer a few questions about the car. You get a real cash offer in about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a car

    Browse our inventory and choose the one you want. You are free to take the cash instead and keep shopping.

  3. Step 3

    Apply it as credit

    Your offer comes off the price of the Maverick car. If you still owe on the trade, we pay off the loan first.

  4. Step 4

    Finance the rest

    Finance what is left, or pay it outright. Your equity works exactly like a cash down payment.

Sales Tax

Trading in can lower your sales tax

In most states you only pay sales tax on the difference between the price of the car you buy and the value of the car you trade in — not on the full price. Sell the car privately instead and the tax is charged on the whole amount.

The rules and the rate depend on where you register the vehicle. The payment estimator below figures tax on the full price, so what you owe may come out lower than it shows. We settle the exact amount before you sign.

Estimate only, not an offer of credit. Your actual rate and term depend on approved credit and the lender. Taxes vary by location. Tax here is estimated on the full vehicle price: the trade-in credit most states allow is not applied, so your tax may come out lower than shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about loan payoffs, negative equity, what we take, delivery and returns.

We pay off your loan. If you owe more than our offer, you pay us the difference before we pay off your loan. We cannot finance that difference.

Yes. We buy your car outright, whether or not you buy one from us. If you do buy, your equity comes off the price of the Maverick car instead.

We buy clean-title cars that run and drive. We don't buy salvage or rebuilt titles, cars with major mechanical problems, or cars that don't run.

Your equity comes off the price before financing, so you finance less. In most states it also lowers the sales tax you pay, because the tax is charged on the difference rather than on the full price.
