On the other hand, you will get top dollar on a trade that is only six months old if there are no outstanding issues, such as a wreck or very high mileage. What would be high mileage on a six month old car?. That would be anything over 5,000 miles. Even that would seem high to many buyers.
Can You Trade In A Car After One Year?
The one-year plan makes more sense. You have enjoyed the car for a year and gotten some value out of it. If you trade now, you should get a good price toward your next car. Of course, the price will have to pay off the loan. Otherwise, you will have to put down a payment for the new car and pay off the old car loan at the same time.
We tell our regular customers to let us know if they are wanting to trade earlier than the normal three to five years. That way we can help them figure out the finances.
