Can you trade in a financed car? Yes! Trading in a financed car is relatively straightforward. You still have to pay off the existing balance of your loan, which you can pay off with the money from your trade-in, or if there’s a remaining balance, you can pay it when you start financing for your new car. If your loan amount exceeds the amount the dealership is willing to pay for your vehicle, you have to pay off the remainder at the dealership.

Wondering, “How does trading in a financed car work?” Music City Autoplex can help! Follow these three easy steps:
Dealerships use rolling over a loan as an incentive to get Nashville drivers with an existing loan to trade in their vehicles. It means that they will pay off your old loan no matter how much remains on it. If you think that sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. They add the loan amount to the new vehicle’s price and you’ll pay it off with your monthly payments on your new vehicle.
Trading in a financed car for lease works much like trading in a financed car to buy another vehicle. You trade in the vehicle you have and the amount of the existing loan. You’ll either pay off the difference of its trade-in value to the loan or use the remaining money you received from the trade-in to go towards the deposit or fees that apply when you sign your lease contract. Trading in a financed car for lease is less common, though if you decide to do it, Music City Autoplex is happy to walk you through the process.
