  If you’re looking to buy a new car and need to sell your existing one, a vehicle trade-in is probably one of the easiest options. Are you undecided on whether to sell the car privately yourself, advertise it in the classifieds, or trade it in? Here we explain the advantages and disadvantages of vehicle trade-ins and how it works.          Advantages If you’re in a hurry to sell your car, trading in your vehicle takes just a few days. For busy people it’s also the most convenient. Dealing with one party, the car dealer directly means there is less paperwork for you. The dealer will handle the entire transaction from beginning to end. Disadvantages When shopping around for a car you want quality, value, and choice. When you opt to trade-in your vehicle,you’re limited to buying a vehicle from that specific dealership.Therefore, it makes sense to trade-in your car at a car dealership that offers you a wide range of vehicles to choose from. How it Works Calculating the Price You Get When you decide to trade-in your existing car, your car will be evaluated for any dents, scratches and other cosmetic conditions. You will be offered an amount for your vehicle that is in line with the vehicle’s M&M (Mead &McGrouther*) book value. Condition + Market Popularity + BookValue = Price Getting the Most Value out of Your Trade-In If the car you intend to trade-in is still under finance and the settlement value (the final amount still to be paid) is higher than the price you have been offered, then you need to pay in the difference from your savings. The good news is that if a dealer offers you trade assistance (also known as deal assistance) you can add that offered amount to your vehicle purchase. This deal assistance amount helps to cover some or all of the settlement value of the new vehicle. When you buy a used car from Auto Pedigree, you get quality, value, and choice from a wide variety of vehicles at dealers nationwide. Take advantage of our deal assistance promotion today and get more value from your trade-invehicle. *Mead &McGrouther is a publishing company involved in the publication of information of Passenger and truck specification namely Auto DataDigest available in book form on the South African market.

When you indicate your intention to trade in your existing car, our branch will evaluate your vehicle and offer you an amount in line with the vehicle’s M&M book value. This M&M value, combined with the condition and market popularity of your vehicle guides the price offered to you. In many cases, trade-in vehicles are still under finance and the finance settlement value might be higher than the price offered. In such a case, you will then need to pay the difference from your savings,which is not ideal. However, with the Deal Assistance value available to you, you can add the amount to the trade-in offer to ensure your trade-in value is sufficient to cover the settlement of your trade-in.   Deposit With this option, you can use your Deal Assistance amount as a deposit towards buying your ‘new’ second hand vehicle, or use it to reduce the selling price of the car. The net effect is that the amount you will be financing through the bank will be lower, giving you two advantages: 1.    Your monthly repayment amount will be lower. 2.    You will pay less interest over the term of your loan. Deferred Payment Imagine driving your new car and not needing to pay for it straight away! You can use the Deal Assistance amount to pay your initial instalments to the finance bank upfront.

This depends on the Deal Assistance amount available on your individual transaction, but on average, your deferred payment can be anything from 3 to 6 months and even more! Cash Back Use your Deal Assistance amount back in cash to use for your personal needs, such as a holiday for the family, buying that new TV you were trying to save for, or those home renovations that need attention.
