You already know that a trade-in tool helps you determine the trade-in value of your vehicle. But what is the trade-in value? Technically, trade-in value refers to an allowance/credit that a dealer applies toward the cost of another vehicle purchased at our dealership.
There are a bunch of criteria that go into determining the trade-in value of, say, a pre-owned 2021 Ford F-150, a 2018 Nissan Murano, or even a Dodge Durango purchased last year. Like all dealerships, we accept trade-ins of all makes and models. Criteria used to value your trade-in include:
- Make
- Model
- Model year
- Mileage
- Style/Doors
- Exterior/Interior Color
- Engine type/Displacement (liters)
- Transmission type
- Liens (if any)
- License plate
- State
- Vehicle Identification Number
We might use one or all of the above criteria depending on your vehicle and the corresponding information available. Using our dealership's tools to value your trade-in is easy, not to mention essential for getting the best deal possible.
Actual Cash Value (ACV) vs. Market Value

ACV typically applies to the amount that insurance companies are most likely to pay out after your ride gets totaled. We only mention it here because drivers often use the phrases ACV and trade-in value interchangeably, but they are different. However, we use many of the same criteria to determine your car's trade-in value and its ACV:
