Check out our frequently asked questions about the vehicle trade-in process below!

Q: How does trading in my car work at Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin?

A: The trade-in process is simple! Bring your vehicle to our dealership, and our team will inspect its condition, mileage, and market value. We’ll provide you with a competitive offer on the spot, which you can apply toward a new Volkswagen, a quality used vehicle, or take as cash.

Q: Can I trade in my car if I still owe on my loan?

A: Yes! If you still have an outstanding loan, we will pay off the remaining balance as part of the trade-in process. If you owe more than your car's value (negative equity), we can work with you to roll the difference into your next financing plan.

Q: How is my trade-in value determined?

A: We base your trade-in value on several factors, including your vehicle’s age, make, model, mileage, condition, market demand, and history report. We use trusted valuation tools to ensure you get a fair and competitive offer.

Q: Can I trade in a car that isn’t a Volkswagen?

A: Absolutely! We accept all makes and models for trade-in. Whether you drive a Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Jeep, or any other brand, we’ll provide a fair trade-in appraisal.

Q: Should I trade in my car or sell it privately?

A: Trading in your car at Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin is fast, easy, and secure. Selling privately takes time, effort, and negotiation with potential buyers. With us, you can skip the hassle and get an instant, competitive offer without the stress of selling on your own.

Q: Can I trade in more than one vehicle at a time?

A: Yes! If you have multiple vehicles you’d like to trade in, we can evaluate them all and apply their combined trade-in value toward your next purchase.

Q: Do I need to make an appointment for a trade-in appraisal?

A: While appointments aren’t required, we recommend scheduling one to ensure a quick and efficient trade-in experience. You can also get an instant estimate online using our trade-in value tool before visiting our dealership.

Q: What do I need to bring when trading in my car?

A: To complete the trade-in process, bring the following:

  • Your vehicle
  • Vehicle title or loan payoff information
  • Valid driver’s license
  • All keys, fobs, and accessories
  • Vehicle registration and any service records
  • Q: Can I trade in my car for a lease?

    A: Yes! You can apply your trade-in value toward the down payment on a new Volkswagen lease, helping you lower your monthly payments.

    Q: What happens after I trade in my car?

    A: Once you accept our offer, we’ll handle the paperwork and payoff process, so you can focus on choosing your next Volkswagen or quality used vehicle. If you're not ready to buy, you can take the trade-in value as cash.
