Frequently asked questions
Why is trade-in value lower than retail?
Trade in values are usually lower than retail values due to various reasons like dealers need to recondition, repair and upgrade the car. Any sort of paperwork needs to be done by dealers before reselling the car. If the car is to be auctioned, the shipment costs are to be paid by the dealers. Whereas, the car seller is selling the vehicle as it is without spending any pennies on its reconditioning. Hence, dealerships buy vehicles at low prices (trade-in) and sell at higher prices (retail).
