With all the vehicles on the market today, buying a new car can be stressful on its own. But what happens when you want to upgrade your existing vehicle for a new or pre-owned Buick? 

Selling a car is quite a process in itself, and many drivers find themselves overwhelmed trying to do both. That’s why a trade-in is a great idea if you want to simplify the process and take some of the stress off your plate. Here are three ways you can save by trading in your car.  

Save Time

Anyone who has sold a car knows it can be incredibly time-consuming. While dealerships have the means and resources to list, market, and show cars for sale, the average person does not.

When you consider the time it takes to clean up your vehicle, take proper photos, create and post a listing, field potential buyers, and set up showings, it makes sense to outsource the process to someone who’s better equipped to handle it.  

Saving on Financing and Interest 

If you’re planning to secure GMC financing for your next vehicle purchase, trading in your old car can be a huge help. Subtracting the value of your trade-in from the purchase price means you’ll have a much smaller amount to finance, which in turn means less interest paid over the life of your loan. 

Saving on Sales Tax

Similarly, trading in a vehicle means you’re lowering the actual price you’re paying for a new car or SUV. Customers do not pay sales tax on the trade-in value of their car; instead, you’ll only pay the difference between the purchase price of your new vehicle and your trade-in value.
