Time to upgrade your Mazda? You’ll find the process of switching to a superior vehicle quicker, easier, and cheaper with a trade-in at your local Mazda dealership. Consider these five trade-in benefits before you begin.
5 Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle at Your Mazda Dealership
Lower Your New-Car Costs
The clearest advantage of a dealership trade-in is how much more affordable your new Mazda becomes. We’ll initially value your current vehicle and then give you credit based on that evaluation.
This credit can then be applied toward the new purchase, which significantly reduces your payment. In some cases, the credit even covers the entire down payment for the new vehicle.
Possible Tax Savings
If you choose to sell your old car independently before buying a new one, you’ll typically face more sales tax than with a dealership trade-in. With the credit system at a dealership, you’re only charged the difference between the value of the old car and the new one.
To illustrate, if your old car is valued at $20,000 and the new one is $30,000, you’ll only need to pay the difference: $10,000. That means sales tax is only based on the $10,000 that changes hands rather than on the full $30,000 value of the new car.
Less Paperwork and Hassle
Selling your own car isn’t easy. You need to advertise, meet several potential buyers, and deal with the paperwork.
In contrast, trading in at a reputable dealership involves a simplified process, with all the paperwork for both vehicles handled for you in one place. It’s often a quick, same-day process that gets the driver behind the wheel of a fantastic new Mazda smoothly and affordably.
Avoid Advertising Expenses
When trading in your car, two of your most valuable assets are protected: time and money. Drivers typically underestimate the cost of online listings and the time it takes to find a real buyer. Keep it simple and affordable instead with a streamlined dealership trade-in.
No Repair Costs Required
There’s yet another way you save with a trade-in. Advertising directly to buyers means getting your car into great shape with repairs and detailing, none of which is free. With a trade-in, on the other hand, we handle the repairs after accepting a car onto our lot. As the owner, you needn’t pay anything in this regard.
