3 Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle at Your Mazda Dealership

 

Your old vehicle still has value, and as your Mazda dealership, we want to tell you about some of the trade-in benefits you receive when you bring your old vehicle to us.

Top Benefits of Trading In Your Vehicle at a Mazda Dealership

You Save Money

When you trade in your old vehicle, you’re automatically reducing the cost of your new Mazda. You can value your trade online in minutes using the handy Value Your Trade on the Finance Tab of our website. You’ll need to input various details about your car, including its VIN. Once you submit the request, you’ll receive a CarFax valuation.

Save or print this information and contact us. All you need to do then is bring in your old vehicle and its title so we can confirm the details. We’ll issue you credit for its value, which is automatically deducted from your Mazda’s price. You also have the option to receive your old vehicle’s value in cash. There’s no paperwork for you to deal with except signing your old car’s title over to us.

You Also Save Tax

No one wants to pay more tax than they have to, and trading in your old car reduces the taxes you pay on your new Mazda. When you sell a vehicle in Washington State, you pay 6.5% of its sale value in tax and an additional 0.5% to 3.5% tax, depending on where you live in the state. This can cost you a sizable amount, depending on your old car’s value.

When you trade in your old vehicle to us, its trade-in value is deducted from the price of your Mazda. The tax you pay for your new vehicle is therefore much lower than it otherwise would be.

It’s Convenient

You could choose to sell your old car privately, but this can become a headache. You’ll need to advertise to attract buyers, so you’ll have to take pictures of your vehicle and fill in its details on a car sales website, for example. You’ll then have to pay for the advertisement and wait for buyers. Depending on the age and model of your old vehicle, selling it can take time.

In addition, you’ll have to pay tax on the amount you receive if you do sell it. The transfer of title to the new buyer must be completed correctly, or you could be liable for any issues with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). You could also be liable if the buyer discovers any problem with the vehicle that you didn’t know about. None of these issues apply when you trade your old vehicle to us.
