Trade My Car Milwaukee

No one enjoys the process of buying a new car. And when it involves selling your old one, well, that makes it twice as complicated. Not true! Ewald CJDR is a used car dealership in the Milwaukee area that strives to simplify things. We also focus on transparent pricing and convenience. We also want you to be informed before you make any critical choices. For that reason, we put together some answers to common questions about trading your car.

Should I trade in my car?

Yes, you should trade your car! Trading in your car is an excellent idea for many reasons. Especially at Ewald CJDR, where trading your car has never been easier.

• Trading in your car is the most stress-free, hassle-free way to go. You can get rid of your old car and have a new car within the same day! And since we live in a world where time is money, that’s important. If you sell or buy your car through private buyers, it could take weeks. Everything about the trade in process at Ewald CJDR has been streamlined for efficiency.

• You can save some money! One cool thing about trading your car in Wisconsin is the tax breaks. If you trade in a car, you only pay sales tax on the difference in price between your old car and your new car. Since the difference could be thousands of dollars, this could save you hundreds in sales tax!

• Car trade in value is brutal to determine by yourself. If you trade your car at Ewald CJDR, you know you are getting your money’s worth! How do you know private buyers or other dealers aren’t scamming you? That’s why we use MaxAllowance for maximum transparency in our car offers. 

Where can I trade in my car?

Oh, great question! We know the perfect place for you to trade your car. Ewald CJDR of Oconomowoc uses MaxAllowance to value your car and give the maximum cash offer. You fill out a form online and take photos and videos of your car. Then we consider thousands of used cars around Milwaukee, plus our own inventory needs. We also reevaluate pricing daily to ensure maximum accuracy! We guarantee our prices will be competitive and fair with our pricing system. If you disagree, you can counter the offer and negotiate. 

Is it a good time to trade in my car?

Yes, right now is a great time to trade in your car! The current market is low on supply and high on demand. That means that used cars are in short supply. If you trade in your car, you will get an excellent price for your used car. However, the same powers will work against you when buying your new car. To get the best of both worlds, sell your used car for a high price, and don’t spring for the extra expensive options for your new car.

What paperwork do I need to trade in my car?

The paperwork necessary to trade your car is more complicated than what you need to buy a car. You are dealing with two different cars during the process. So it would help if you had everything from your old car, and whatever was necessary to buy the new one.

• Car title: You need the title of the car you’re trading in. The dealer needs definitive proof of ownership before they can buy your car.

• Insurance and registration information: If you want to change your license plate to your new car, you need the registration information of your old car. And you need insurance information so that you can drive safely in your new car.

• Car loan information (maybe): This is only necessary if you haven’t fully paid off your old car. Yes, you can trade your car if you still have a loan on it. But you need the loan information to pay it off your transfer.

• Service records: We provide a full vehicle history report for all certified pre-owned cars at Ewald CJDR. So if you bring in the service records when you trade your car, that helps a lot!

• Driver’s license, proof of income, and residency are necessary for buying and financing your new car. 

• Car keys: last but not least, don’t forget all the car keys and fobs for your old car!
