Get Your Trade-In Car Value 

The first step Draper drivers should take when it comes to how to trade in your car is to use our trade-in valuation tool. All you need to do is to input the make, model, and year of your vehicle into our tool, as well as a description of the vehicle’s condition, and we’ll give you a highly accurate estimate of how much we’ll pay you for your vehicle based on KBB estimates. You can also use the Kelley Blue Book® Value and Edmund’s True Market Value® trading tools to compare estimates. 

Get an Appraisal

Once you’ve gotten your estimates, the next step of how to trade in a car is to head to National Auto Plaza to get an appraisal on your vehicle. We’ll take a look at its condition and weigh that against its average national sale price. Be sure to bring the estimates or any of the other trade-in offers you’ve received. Bearing all of that information in mind, we’ll give you an offer. From there you can negotiate with us or close the deal. We’ll offer you the opportunity to take cash or credit towards your next car.
