Online Vehicle Trade-In Value near Waukegan, IL

In order to help make your life just a bit easier, Gillespie Ford has a variety of financing tools for you to utilize here on our website. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a new ride and are curious to learn what your current model will fetch as a trade, we have a handy Value Trade-In tool that can help. After receiving an estimate, head over to finalize the transaction with our Finance Department.

Why Should I Value My Trade?

If you’re under the impression that trading-in an unwanted ride doesn’t make much of a difference in the price of your next purchase, allow us to fill you in on a few details. To begin, even a well-loved ride that’s been your reliable companion for many years still has value, so it’s unwise to let it simply rust away once you’re done with it. Furthermore, when you apply this amount to the sticker price of a new model, you’ll reduce the amount that you need finance through a loan. Over time, this can make a significant difference in how much interest accumulates on the principle balance.

Online Resource

Now that you know just how advantageous a trade-in can be, let’s proceed to our Value Your Trade tool! Located under both the New and Pre-Owned tabs near the top of the screen, this resource takes some of the guesswork out of budgeting. To get an immediate appraisal, simply input your vehicle’s make, model, and year, or VIN, into the empty field, then provide some basic contact details. Of course, for the most accurate figure possible, we highly encourage you to upload a video or at least some pictures of your car, truck, or SUV, so our experts can better assess its condition.

Explore Your Options

Once you know what your current set of wheels is worth, you can start researching your next vehicle. For your convenience, our entire inventory is at your disposal, so you can explore from the comfort of home at your own pace. If you have your heart set on a particular model, exterior color, fuel economy, engine, and other vehicle aspect, you’ll find filters on the left side of the results to assist you in narrowing down your options. If anything sticks out as a possible match, plug its price into the Payment Calculator along with your trade-in offer to see if it’s a good fit for your budget, too.

Get an online vehicle trade-in value near Waukegan, IL, with the help of Gillespie Ford today! We’ve streamlined this once drawn-out process, so you can receive the information you need without hassle. Then, stop into our showroom to find your next ride. We’re open Monday through Saturday!

Alex gave us the best customer service. We originally came in to view a vehicle but ended up coming out with one of the vehicles I always wanted. He also mentioned he was new to the position in sales and honestly we wouldn’t have know because he did an amazing job. Everyone else that help with finance and everything else were amazing and very patient and helpful.

My husband and I worked with Edgar on trading in one of our cars and purchasing a new one. When I say working with him was an absolute breeze, I mean it. This has been the easiest and most stress free way of purchasing a car ever. He was beyond helpful in answering all of our questions and explaining things thoroughly. He’s quick to reply, kind and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only would we buy another car from him but I have already given his information out for friends and family who are also looking.
