There isn’t really a time limit as to how soon you can trade in a financed car, but you do need to know its equity. The first thing to think about when you are about to sell your car is to determine if you have positive or negative equity. But, what does that mean exactly?
To figure out whether you have positive or negative equity, you’ll need to determine how much you currently owe on your car loan. Once you’ve done that, you can use our trade-in value tool to discover how much your car is worth. If the loan amount is less than your trade in value, then you have positive equity and vice versa. This is the most ideal situation, as it makes it simple for you to sell your car and use the excess profits toward your down payment. If you have negative equity, then you can still sell your car to a dealer, you just need to carefully consider your options. Don’t worry, if you have negative equity, Lum's Buick GMC can help you upgrade your commute from Newberg to Hillsboro.
