Couple of simple questions

[Gator Nation]

How does trading in a vehicle work? And what's the oldest vehicle you can trade in....? Also do you have to trade in a Chevy? The last question is do they even let you trade in on a Camaro? Sorry for all the silly questions looking to buy a 2012 2LT RS so i have just been wondering thank you =]]]

This is not a silly question at all man.. It depends on the dealer and what they will take as per how old.. Usually Yes mostly any delearship will accept a trade.. Nowadays they have Wholesalers who come to the lot to take cars for auction..They inspect the car and give a price and then the dealer lets you know how much they will give you for it ..If you own it its free cash depending on how good the deal is.. if you still have payments.. You will want to try and see how close to the note total to wipe it out or roll it into the new car *which I don't advise.. It puts you upside down immediatley) Gone are the days of Used car lots etc.. I mean you still see them but not like years ago..

Yeah I own it it's my old truck as my avatar lol, it was the first vehicle I bought used of course... Now I'm looking to buy a Camaro and get rid of my truck, I get 7MPG lol

it's probably better to sell your car private party. you'll get more for it. if you do end up trading your car in, the dealer will give you close to kelley blue book value for a trade in. Or at least they should be in the same ballpark. that money can then be rolled into a down payment on a camaro.

Yeah, **usually** modifications hurt you at dealers (really depends on the dealer and the modifications) so if you plan on keeping them on when you sell go private. You might be able to get someone who values the modifications.

Anything older than 2005 I would say go private anyway because the dealer probably won't give you what you want on a trade-in.

Yeah I have a couple friends who I would sell it to for cheap and still get probably 1500 more than they would offer

Best of luck man.. You will sell it it may take a little time but you will do it..

Traded in a 1950 chev truck for my Camaro. And paid 5800.00 difference. Good deal for me. The car was 57,000.00.

I would keep that truck and go into a Chevy dealership and work a deal on 2012 Camaro and before you go look online at all the discounts, rebates and incentives you can get before you go to the Chevy dealership and after you get the Camaro you can sell your truck on the street for wayyy more money than a dealership will give you as trade in and if you didnt sell your truck it would be good to keep and drive on bad weather days and keep your Camaro at home!.....Good luck....
