Find out what your car, truck, or SUV is worth in a few minutes, then put that value toward your next vehicle. Start with the tool below, and our team will help you take it from estimate to a final number.

Review your estimate
See an estimated trade-in value based on the details you entered, with no obligation to buy.
Confirm it with our team
Bring your vehicle in so we can look it over in person and confirm your final trade-in value.
Estimated values are based on the information you provide and are not a final offer. Your vehicle's actual trade-in value is confirmed after an in-person inspection and depends on its condition, mileage, history, and current market demand.
What affects your trade-in value
No two vehicles are worth the same, even within the same model year. These are the factors that move the number most.
Mileage
Lower mileage generally means a higher value, since there's less wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension.
Condition
Dents, scratches, worn tires, interior wear, and warning lights all factor in, as do any mechanical issues we find at inspection.
Trim, options & drivetrain
Higher trims, popular option packages, and features like all-wheel or four-wheel drive can add to value, especially in a Wisconsin market.
Service & accident history
A documented maintenance record helps. A reported accident or a branded title can lower value.
Age and model year
Newer vehicles generally hold more value, and model-year changes (redesigns, new tech) can shift demand.
Market demand
What used-vehicle shoppers are looking for right now affects what we can offer. Demand for certain vehicles can shift with the season.

Not buying right now? We'll make a purchase offer on your vehicle — no purchase necessary. Share your VIN and mileage and we'll take it from there.
Sell Your VehicleWhat if I still owe money on my vehicle?
It's very common, and it doesn't stop you from trading. Here's how it works.
Positive equity
If your vehicle is worth more than you owe, the difference can be applied toward your next purchase, such as a down payment.
Negative equity
If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the shortfall may be able to be rolled into your next loan. Our finance team can show you what that does to your payment.
We handle the payoff
When you trade a financed vehicle, we work with your lender to pay off the loan as part of the deal. Bring your lender's information to speed things up.

Trade-in questions, answered
Is the value I get online final?
No. The online value is an estimate based on the details you enter. Your final trade-in value is confirmed after our team inspects your vehicle in person, since condition, history, and market demand all affect the number.
Do I have to buy a vehicle from you to trade mine in?
To trade, you apply your vehicle's value toward a purchase. If you'd rather not buy right now, you can ask for a purchase offer on your vehicle instead, with no purchase necessary, on our Sell Your Vehicle page.
Can I trade in a vehicle I still have a loan on?
Yes. We work with your lender to pay off the loan as part of the transaction. If your vehicle is worth more than you owe, the difference can go toward your next purchase. If you owe more than it's worth, our finance team can walk you through your options.
What should I bring to my appraisal?
Bring your title or lender information, current registration, your driver's license, every key and fob, and any service records you have. Having your loan payoff amount handy helps too.
Can I trade in a vehicle that isn't a Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC?
Often, yes. Enter your vehicle's details in the tool above, or call us at 715-502-4143, and our team will let you know how we can help.
What if my vehicle has dents, high mileage, or mechanical problems?
You can still get a value. Condition and mileage affect the number, but vehicles in a wide range of conditions can typically be appraised. Being upfront about known issues makes the process smoother.
