What's Your Current Hoopty Worth?
Before you accept a dealer trade number, understand what your vehicle may really be worth — in the context of the whole transaction, not as a single headline figure.
Introducing Effective Trade Value
The largest cash offer isn't always the best transaction when taxes, payoff and deal structure are considered. In many states, trading a vehicle reduces the taxable amount of your purchase — which can make a slightly lower trade offer worth more than a bigger outside sale. We compare:
- Dealer trade value
- Outside purchase offers
- Tax impact
- Loan payoff
- Equity
- Negative equity
Trade values are estimates based on the details and photos you provide — actual offers depend on inspection, the dealer and market conditions. Tax treatment varies by state.
