Value Your Trade

Why Sell or Trade Your Vehicle to Plaza Lincoln?

Selling a vehicle privately can involve considerable time and effort. You'll need to research its value, prepare a listing, respond to interested buyers, arrange meetings and test drives, and negotiate a price. You'll also be responsible for the paperwork and other formalities involved in completing the sale.

Plaza Lincoln offers a more convenient alternative for drivers in Clermont, Apopka, and throughout Central Florida. You can work directly with our dealership rather than searching for a private buyer. Additionally, apart from the necessary signatures, you can leave the DMV work to us.

If you're planning to purchase another vehicle, trading in your current one lets you take care of both transactions at the same dealership. Its value can be applied toward a new Lincoln or a vehicle from our pre-owned inventory, reducing the remaining amount you need to cover through a down payment or financing.

Of course, you don't have to purchase another vehicle to sell yours to Plaza Lincoln. If you have an extra vehicle taking up space or simply want to turn your current car into cash, we'll be happy to make you an offer.

Important Information About Selling or Trading Your Vehicle

What Determines a Vehicle's Value?

A vehicle's value depends on more than just age and mileage. Its condition, equipment, maintenance history, and current market demand all contribute to the appraisal. Even a vehicle with higher mileage can retain meaningful value when it has been well-maintained.

Do I Need to Make Repairs Before a Trade?

Aside from routine maintenance, you don't necessarily need to complete major repairs before bringing your vehicle to our dealership. Expensive mechanical or cosmetic work may not increase its trade-in value enough to justify the expense.

Can I Trade a Financed Vehicle?

You can still trade in a vehicle with an outstanding loan. Our team will compare its appraised value with the lender's payoff amount and explain how any positive or negative equity affects the transaction.

What Should I Bring?

When you're ready to complete the sale, make sure you have a valid photo ID, the vehicle's registration, and available keys. You'll also need the title if you own the vehicle outright, or the lender and payoff information if it's financed.
