Value Your Trade Near Santa Cruz

When you are ready to sell a vehicle, you could spend weeks or months seeking out the right buyer in Hollister or Santa Cruz who is looking for what you have to offer and will pay a fair price. For many people, that time is often as valuable as the cash you will get for the vehicle. However, most are unaware of the alternative options for selling a car, truck, or SUV in the Watsonville area. However, the team at Chevrolet of Watsonville aims to change that and ensure everyone knows how to sell a vehicle swiftly and efficiently for a fair price.

Getting Your KBB Instant Cash Offer

If you have a vehicle that you want to sell, all you need to do is provide some basic information. You will need to have the VIN, make, model, and year of the vehicle, as well as provide some details about its condition. All the facts you provide will be used to create your KBB Instant Cash Offer that will be emailed to you. Once you get the Instant Cash Offer back, you will have seven days to decide if you would like to accept the offer. But please know that even after getting the offer, you are never obligated to sell your vehicle to Chevrolet of Watsonville. However, if you would like to get cash for your car, just bring the offer and the vehicle to our dealership. Our team will quickly review the details provided in your request regarding the vehicle’s condition to ensure they match. Then you can sign over the car and get the amount specified in your KBB Instant Cash Offer.

Your Second Option

If you have found your dream car, truck, or SUV at Chevrolet of Watsonville and want to use your current vehicle as a trade-in, the KBB Instant Cash Offer is your perfect tool to get the value of it. The second option for any KBB Instant Cash Offer recipient is to use the vehicle as a trade and get the amount quoted as the trade-in value. Many buyers have no idea the actual value of their current vehicle and are often limiting their buying potential because of that lack of information. You can even complete your KBB Instant Cash Offer request before shopping at Chevrolet of Watsonville to ensure you understand your budget based on the amount you have as a trade-in.

Why A Trade-In Is A Wise Choice

Currently, the sales tax on a vehicle purchased in Watsonville, CA is nearly 10%. That can add up quickly when you are buying a vehicle with a sticker price of $30K or more. However, when you use your current vehicle as a trade-in, the value of that trade is subtracted from the cost of the new vehicle, meaning you do not pay sales tax on that amount. If you are purchasing a $30,000 Blazer at Chevrolet of Watsonville, the sales tax will be almost $3,000. However, if you are trading in a vehicle valued at $10,000, you will only pay approximately $2,000 in sales tax on the new vehicle’s price of $20,000. Not only do you finance less and save on the interest amount, but you also enjoy a nice savings on the sales tax thanks to your KBB Instant Cash Offer and ability to capitalize on the equity in your current vehicle. Please stop by Chevrolet of Watsonville today to explore our new and used inventory and make the most of the value of your current vehicle when using it as a trade-in.
