GMC Trade-In Guide & Trade-In Value

GMC salesperson with customer

Using your old car for a GMC trade-in is a great way to make the purchase of a new truck or SUV even more affordable. We’ll help you navigate the trade-in process and introduce you to our broad inventory of top-shelf new and pre-owned models. This trade-in guide will help you get started at Rick Weaver GMC.

Step 1: The Valuation

The first step is to use our online “Value Your Trade” tool to find the estimated value of your old car. The process is simple: just provide the basic info about your current car including the year, make, and model, and trim, and click “Get an Offer Today”. You’ll have to provide some contact information at this point so we can get back to you with an offer. Once you receive the offer, bring your car to our Erie, PA GMC dealership so a Certified Appraiser can conduct a physical inspection before we close the deal.

Step 2: Pre-Trade Vehicle Prep

Before you visit us, it’s smart to prep your vehicle. These are common-sense things – for example, clean the car inside and out, remove your personal items, and bring both sets of keys. Also, if your vehicle is due for routine maintenance such as an oil change or brake work, we recommend scheduling this before the trade-in.

Step 3: Paperwork

There are several key pieces of paperwork that you’ll need to bring with you to complete the trade. Bring a valid state-issued photo ID, the vehicle’s registration, its title if available, and all keys and remotes. If you still owe money on the vehicle, bring your lender and payoff information. Maintenance records and receipts for major upgrades can also be helpful.

Step 4: The Visit

After you’ve completed steps 1 - 3, head to our showroom so we can finalize your trade-in and get you into your next pre-owned or new GMC vehicle. We’ll also discuss the tax benefits you may qualify for, as well as financing issues such as the handling of negative equity, if necessary.
