Your current vehicle can be an important part of the process when you are ready for something different.

When shopping for another vehicle, many buyers in Jasper, AL choose to trade in the one they currently own. A trade in can simplify the move by letting Jasper Auto Sales Select handle the appraisal and include the trade as part of the purchase.

Understanding how a trade in fits into a vehicle purchase can help you arrive better prepared at one of our Jasper lots.

The Process Starts With an Appraisal

Before a trade in can become part of the transaction, the dealership needs to evaluate the vehicle. An appraisal may consider mileage, condition, vehicle history, equipment, and current market demand in Walker County.

You can visit the trade-in page to learn more about getting started with your current vehicle.

Payoff Information May Be Needed

If you still have a loan on the vehicle you plan to trade, we may need the current payoff amount. This allows the existing loan to be considered as part of the transaction.

Having your lender and account information available can make this step easier. We work with local and regional lenders, including Redstone Federal Credit Union, Southern Energy Credit Union, Listerhill Credit Union, and Avadian Credit Union.

Your Trade Can Be Part of the Purchase

Once the vehicle has been appraised and any applicable payoff has been reviewed, the trade in can be incorporated into the purchase of your next used car, truck, or SUV.

The exact structure will depend on your individual transaction, so reviewing the details with Jasper Auto Sales Select can help you understand how everything fits together.

Trading In Can Simplify the Transition

Selling a vehicle privately can involve advertising, communicating with potential buyers, arranging meetings, and completing paperwork. Trading at our Jasper, AL lots is another option: the vehicle change is handled as part of the purchase.

For many local buyers, having both transactions handled in one place is more convenient.

Prepare Before Your Visit

  • Remove personal belongings from your vehicle.

  • Gather available service records.

  • Bring title information when applicable.

  • Have current payoff information if there is an existing loan.

  • Bring all available keys and remotes for the vehicle.

Having these items ready can help prevent unnecessary delays once you arrive at 3910 Hwy 78 E or one of our Viking Drive lots in Jasper.

Start Exploring Your Next Vehicle

You do not have to wait until the appraisal to begin shopping. Browsing available inventory can help you compare vehicles and identify options that fit driving around Walker County.

If financing will also be part of your purchase, you can complete the online credit application before your visit to begin that portion of the process.

Bring the Pieces Together

A vehicle purchase can involve several moving parts, but preparing your trade in information ahead of time can help make the process easier to understand.
