San Tan Ford offers an inventory packed with new and pre-owned Ford vehicles, from the sporty Ford Mustang to the family-friendly Ford Expedition. If you’re looking for your next upgrade, you may be considering trading in your current vehicle. So, how exactly do you start the process, and what do you need to bring with you? Our Ford dealers have you covered.

First and foremost, you’ll need to bring your car’s title when you visit our dealership to trade it in. The title proves that you are the owner and that you can transfer ownership. Are you still paying off your current vehicle’s loan? If so, don’t fret. Just bring in all your loan documentation with you to our Phoenix, AZ Ford dealership, and we’ll get the ball rolling. You’ll also need to have your driver’s license and any documents that came with your vehicle, such as the manual, and any relative service records.

While your vehicle doesn’t have to be completely washed and vacuumed when you trade it in, you want it to be in good shape. And don’t forget to remove your belongings—be sure to check the console, glove compartment, and trunk before you say goodbye.

To get an idea of what your trade-in is worth, we encourage you to utilize our online trade-in estimator. In just seconds, you’ll receive an approximate value! It’s important to keep in mind that an official value will be provided when you bring it in for a formal inspection conducted by our certified technicians.

Once you have your trade-in car ready to go, it’s the fun part: researching and test driving new Ford models. Our Ford dealership near Chandler, AZ offers a wide selection to choose from. Consider taking the Ford Escape out for a test drive, a small but powerful SUV with ample seating and cargo space. The Ford F-150 is also available if you need a new work companion that can haul serious cargo. Additional models to consider include the Ford Fusion, Ford Edge, and Ford Transit!

Whatever kind of Ford vehicle you’re looking for, it’s important to come to the dealership well-prepared when you’re interested in trading in. To learn more about our Ford finance center, give us a call at 480-821-3200 to talk with an expert.
