Everything you need to know about part-exchanging your car
Part-exchanging your old vehicle can help you manage the cost of a new car. This guide explains the key benefits and provides all the information you need to decide what to do next.
Are you thinking about buying a new vehicle? If you already have a car, then you might want to consider trading it in; a part-exchange can ensure that your new vehicle purchase is more budget-friendly, whilst simplifying the process of getting rid of an older vehicle that you don’t need.
What Is Part-Exchange?
Many car dealers provide you with the option of exploring a part-exchange when you buy a new car. With this as a possibility, you trade in your existing vehicle and use it as value against the new car that you want to purchase, thus lowering the purchase price. It’s an ideal transaction for those who want to buy a new car but don’t want to spend thousands on it.
How Does It Work?
Part-exchange will usually be mentioned as an option when you first meet with a car dealer and they will explain how it works. They will ask whether you have an older car that you are interested in selling. If you do have a vehicle you want to sell to take money off a new car purchase, the dealer will complete a thorough inspection of your vehicle. They’ll then tell you exactly how much your part-exchange is worth. For example, if your car was valued at £5,000 and you wanted to buy a used vehicle for £13,000, that £5,000 for your old car will go towards the purchase of the used car - so you’ll only have to pay £8,000 out of your pocket or through finance.
What Are The Key Benefits Of Part Exchanging?
There are numerous benefits of part-exchanging your vehicle that make it a worthwhile sale. The main advantage is that the process of selling your used car is far easier, than if you try to sell your car by yourself, privately.
Selling an older car privately can be time consuming and stressful. You’ll often need to deal with buyers that seem interested and then leave you hanging or haggle you down to a price that isn’t worth selling for. If you are keen to sell your car quickly, then a part-exchange will be the right decision for you.
You may also find that you get more from a part-exchange compared with selling your car for cash. A dealer will often encourage you to complete a part-exchange by offering you a deal that does provide you with the right level of value that you need.
In some cases, you can even part-exchange a vehicle that is no longer driveable and needs a lot of expensive repairs. A dealer will often buy a car like this if they are interested in salvaging the parts to use in other vehicles, especially if these parts are hard to come by or are very expensive elsewhere. This can be just as financially beneficial for them as investing in a car that they will be able to sell on to a new buyer.
