Sunny San Jose is one of the best places to live in California. Within the city, residents and visitors can enjoy unparalleled arts and culture, beautiful parks, exciting sports events, and more. The best way to experience all that San Jose has to offer is behind the wheel of a new car.

If it’s time for you to get a new car, and you’re not sure what to do with your current one, The Ford Store Morgan Hill can help! We will happily help you trade in your vehicle and drive home in a new one straight from our new inventory.

Value Your Vehicle to Sell or Trade in a Car

Selling or trading in a car is a great way to get rid of an older vehicle that you no longer want. There are two main options for selling your vehicle, either selling privately by yourself or bringing your car into a dealership.

Selling privately can help you control more of the process, but it also means more work—and more risk. It’s difficult to independently verify a private buyer’s finances, for instance.

When you sell or trade in at a dealership, however, every part of the process is streamlined and verified. We take care of all the paperwork, legal matters, and finances.

The first step to selling or trading in your car is to assess its value with our online trade-in calculator. It’s quick and easy to use: Just plug in your car’s VIN (or its year, make, model, and trim level), as well as its overall condition.

After you get an estimate, bring the car to our dealership, where we will perform a final inspection and present an official offer.

Trading in Your Car to a Dealership near San Jose CA

Trading in a car is just like selling it: You’re exchanging a vehicle for money. However, when you trade in a vehicle, the value of that sale is applied toward the cost of a new car.

What do you need to bring with you when you trade in a car? We’re glad you asked. When you come by our dealership to sell us your car, you’ll want to be sure to bring:

  • The vehicle registration
  • The vehicle title
  • All sets of keys
  • Maintenance records
  • Your license and proof of insurance

When you trade in a vehicle to our dealership, everyone wins. You get to upgrade your ride and no longer have to care for an older vehicle, and we get to help a local driver while updating our inventory of used cars.

It’s Quick and Easy to Boost Your Trade-in Value

Before you stop by, however, there are a few things you can do to boost the value of your trade-in.

One of the easiest ways to increase your trade-in value is to deep clean your car. Having it showroom ready when you pull up to the lot is more likely to solicit a more attractive offer!

In addition, you can double check that there are no needed repairs or recalls. Minor repairs can have a small upfront cost, but a vehicle as close to like-new condition as possible will garner a higher value.

In addition, when it comes to repairing recalls, the manufacturer of the car covers that cost, not the consumer—so making sure that those are taken care of is a low-investment way to improve your car’s worth.

There is no cooling off period unless you obtain a contract cancellation option. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” or other cancellation period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or you wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause such as fraud. However, California law does require a seller to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000 subject to certain statutory conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement doesn’t apply to the sale of a recreational vehicle, a motorcycle, or an off-highway motor vehicle subject to identification under California Law. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
