[@ecosystems]

Bottom line is you take less on the trade-in than what you can sell the vehicle privately. What you pay for is the convenience. Many people take this option to avoid the hassle (unknown) of selling their own car.

[@survivor_protector_testimo2437]

[@iamfrankcaceres]

U doing your thing man! Yeah the taxes and warranty are missing

[@guahan]

Thanks! I should definitely talk about those in the next video :)

[@shiningstar7643]

I would like to know how would that play out if you're bringing in your car for a trade and you're still in debt but you want to downgrade in your car and the price?

[@arnmazing3156]

From what I understand they'll give you a dollar amount for your car if they give you $5000 on a car that you owe $1000 dollars on you'll be at a negative equity of $5000 and you'll be paying for the downgraded car plus the negative equity. So if you downgrade to a $7000 car you'll be paying $12000 due to the remaining debt.

[@gunslinger2172]

yeah right NO CAR DEALER is your friend or family .

[@guahan]

Business is business, but as long as you know just enough to not get taken advantage of, you should be good :) If the salesman realizes the customer knows nothing, I totally agree most will take advantage of them.. sadly

[@SM4YL-LA]

I currently own a 2020 Chevy Camaro that has a value of $27000 with. However, I still need to pay off $12800 for it so I have positive equity. My intention is to trade it for a 2023 Cadillac CT5. Can you please advise me on what to do based on your experience?

[@internetsuperhero2581]

Bro that was a perfect explanation

[@bajaboy27]

That's not how dealerships work. If you trade in your car(worth $10k) for a car that's worth $25k, they do not subtract $10k from $25k, they add it to it. You won't be financing $25k, it will actually be $35k. The dealership sells your $10k trade in at the auction, the finance company pays them their $25k and you're stuck paying for the new car and the car you traded in. They'll tell you the price went up to $35k because you may have a bad credit score or because financing and taxes. But it's all BS. Your best bet if possible, get the car without trading in your old car. They're still going to get you by asking you for a cash deposit, low ball them by saying you only have $5k or so. Cheers 🍻

[@Steamy_Dumpling]

Well that answered my question. Thanks for the explanation

[@Nytellem]

Very simple and helpful.

[@victorrenteria2129]

What if your car is worth 25k and you want to trade in for something cheaper say 17k for example, how would that work?

[@alexgomez7949]

[@angelbluerider9588]

No dealer in this world will give 17,000 for a old Mitsubishi

[@guahan]

True. It's only an example -- a bad one at that haha. Apologies.

[@angelbluerider9588]

@@guahan so it's better to trade then selling private?? I heard selling private you get more money. dealership lowball the price of the trade.

[@guahan]

@@angelbluerider9588 It's very circumstantial and also depends on you. You can use your trade-in as a leveraging tool to negotiate a better deal between dealerships , getting each other to pay a better price for your trade-in. Selling private will almost always pay more, but it'll take time to find a buyer. So what you're getting by selling your car to a dealership is time basically. My dad just bought a brand new truck and decided NOT to do a trade in because what the dealership was offering was unacceptable to him. So currently he has two trucks and still has to worry about finding a buyer for his old one. Personally, I don't like to deal with the hassle and would negotiate until I can get an acceptable price for my trade. -->So it's really up to you. Hope this helps

[@angelbluerider9588]

@@guahan thats true plus the problem is the private buyer never register the car and the seller can get tickets even though buyer sold the car. Cant trust to much private buyers.

[@iRecordRandomVids]

Thank you!!!

[@kelcarrigan]

I don't believe the negative equity example is correct. All you did essentially was make her pay off her loan, then give you her car for free, and charge her full price for a new car. You didn't give her any value for the trade-in. It should be 27K - 8K. Then add her 2K negative equity. For 21K total new car

[@zacharykirby6248]

Kelan Carrigan sure you would pay less for the new car but your loan would still be there if you didnt put the $8000 into paying it off. The way youre saying its as if you’re getting $16000 for the trade in ($8000 to pay the loan and $8000 to take off from the new car) which isnt the case. He explained it correctly.

5:22 is where the actual video starts anybody in first 2 cases wouldn’t be watching this video

[@gm1984r]

This is the dealers game when you try to trade your car for a used car, they do this to see if you going to be OK with the payment, whatever you own on your current car that stays, and they just add the trade in value on top of what you own, which payment Will be a bit higher.

[@guahan]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kchamberlin25]

If you go in to buy a car, you can almost always get a discount off the list price. Say I'm looking at a $15,000 used car. To close the deal, the dealer may give me $2000 off. Of course they have this built in to their asking price. If I go in with a trade which is worth say, $ 1000, the dealer may say "Tell, you what. I'll give you $2000 for your $1000 car." I just gave my old car away. Always sell your old car yourself.

What if the new car is way cheaper than what you still owe on your own car? My car is a 2015 and I still owe 12,000 but the car I want to trade it for is a 2011 and it’s only 8,000. But also my car is worth 8,000 how does that work?

[@philiprosales9923]

Are you saying that 8,000 is the trade in value? I think scenario 2 would be applied then. 8,000 (Trade-in value) - 12,000 (Debt) = -4,000 Then 8,000 (New Car) - (-4,000 negative equity) = 4,000

[@hnx8522]

If your trade is paid off, and the dealer asks you "How much you owe on your trade", what's the best way to answer this? Do we tell them it's paid off or can we lie to them saying we still owe $$ on it?

[@lexcorp101]

Is it logical or even possible for a person to trade in that car when it has only been financed for a few months?

[@guahan]

Hi Raymond. Great questions. If you only had your car for a few months, it won't be the best decision to trade it in so early. You will have too much negative equity on the car. The best time to really trade in your car is if you wait until you have positive equity, which is when "majority" of your loan is paid off. But to answer your question, it is possible. You'll just end up paying more unnecessarily. It'll also depend on your credit and if the bank is willing to approve the trade.
