Value Your Trade
Trading in your old car is the most significant way to save on your next vehicle purchase. To see how much your trade is worth and get a better idea about your available budget, look for the Calculate Payment tool on any model's listing page. Then, click the Value My Trade tab to get an instant trade-in value. Our trade valuations are based on the latest data from one of the most trusted third-party appraisers in the industry, Kelley Blue Book, to ensure you get the best price. You can then apply the calculate value to our other resources for more accurate results. Completing this step from home could save you up to half an hour versus at the dealership.
Personalize Your Monthly Payments
Next, use the Customize Payment tab to find your ideal monthly loan or lease installment amount. Here, you can adjust your payment based on your down payment amount, term length, interest rate, trade-in value, applicable discounts and offers, and annual mileage limit (for leases). By finishing this section at home, you can save nearly an hour versus calculating your payments at the dealership.
Get Pre-Qualified and Apply for Financing
Veteran car buyers are likely familiar with the lengthy credit application process at the dealership. When you combine filling out paperwork and the long wait for a response from lenders, the experience can take up to two hours or more in some cases. Use our Prequalify tab to get started, or skip to the Apply for Credit tab if you're not concerned about your credit worthiness. Completing these steps online takes a fraction of the time as it does at the dealership and could save you up to two hours. Plus, there's no purchase obligation.
