If you’re wondering, “What is my used car worth?”, the answer to how much your car is worth is just a few clicks away! Using our handy trade-in value calculator, you can get an estimated car trade-in value from the comfort of your Toronto home or office. Simply input some information about your car into the trade-in value calculator, as well as your contact information, and you’ll have an estimate right away.

How to Trade in Your Car
After you’ve received your trade-in estimate of how much your car is worth, it’s time for an official appraisal of the trade-in value of your vehicle! Our Newmarket dealership can take care of this step for you. We’ll examine the condition of your car and make sure it’s a good fit for our used car inventory. When you visit for your car’s appraisal, be sure to bring your trade-in estimate! Once we’ve examined your car, you can negotiate or accept our offer and finalize the sale. And rest assured, the offer remains the same whether you plan to sell your car to our dealership or trade in your car. We pride ourselves on offering the fairest possible offer on trade-in vehicles, aiming to make the trade-in process transparent and simple. In fact, there are a couple of major advantages to selling your car to a dealership, including:
-
-
- You can haggle at a dealership. We encourage our Markham customers to always do their own research to make sure they’re getting the most reasonable trade-in offers.
- Can you trade in your car if you still have a loan balance? You can with a dealership. If you’re upside down on your car loan, you can consolidate what’s owed on your current car with the price of your new ride.

Value Your Trade-In: FAQs
Now that you know how to sell your car to a dealership, or trade-in your car, we assume you still have plenty of questions. Take a moment to explore our car trade-in FAQs below for answers to the questions we receive most frequently from Markham:
-
-
- Q: Can you trade in a financed car?
- A: Yes, you can. If you have positive equity on the car (as in: it’s worth more than what you currently owe), you can sell your car easily. The dealer will purchase the car and pay off the loan, and then, they’ll put what’s left toward the new vehicle price, giving you a major advantage. If you have negative equity on the car (as in: it’s worth less than what you currently owe), the dealer may still buy the car and pay off the loan, but the difference will be rolled into your new car loan — meaning you’ll still need to pay it off eventually.
- Q: How soon can you trade in a financed car?
- A: There’s no time limit that’s set in stone, but it’s a good idea to wait until you have positive equity.
- Q: What does it mean to be “upside-down” on a car loan?
- A: Being “upside-down” on a car loan is the same thing as having negative equity. If, for example, you owe $30,000 on a car that’s worth $25,000, you have negative equity.
- Q: Can I trade in my car for a cheaper car?
- A: If you still owe money on the car, you can trade in your car for a cheaper one. If, for example, you owe $15,000 and the car is worth $20,000, the dealer can purchase the car as a trade-in, pay off the loan, and put the $5,000 toward your new auto loan as equity. If you don’t owe money on the car and own it outright, there’s nothing stopping you from trading it in for a cheaper car; you can do what you’d like with it.
