FAQs: Taxes, Credit, and Timing
Do I pay sales tax on the full price of my new car?
No! Sales tax is applied after the trade-in value is subtracted from the new car price.
Can I trade in a car that I still owe money on?
Yes, if you still owe money on your car, we’ll consider that balance when making the offer.
When is the best time to trade in my car?
Trading in your car before it starts losing significant value—usually within 3 to 5 years—is the perfect time.
