If you decide to take this route, is important that you have a good idea what your vehicle is worth before you go to the dealership.

- Autotrader is a credible 3rd party resource that validates your appraisal.
Autotrader, KBB, Edmunds, and Black Book are all credible sources for providing an accurate value for your vehicle. We provide Auto Trader as an easy tool for your use. These tools will prompt you with a number of questions regarding the options, features, and specs of your car; be prepared to know all of this information. Leaving out options like AWD, navigation, and / or engine size can have a significant impact on the value of your vehicle. - Give an honest appraisal of the car's condition.
Very few used cars are truly in excellent condition, but most are at least kept in decent repair. An honest appraisal will give you a more accurate price with which to bargain, which may help you with negotiations in the end.
Once you have this information you will be better prepared to understand the value of your trade at Prime.
