Why Trade Your Vehicle at Longo Lexus El Monte

As a premier dealer of Lexus crossovers and sports cars in California, Longo Lexus offers you the chance to put the value of your current car towards your dream ride. Our customer-friendly trade-in program has benefits like:

• Competitive trade-in valuations: Our appraisals consider the market value, age, and condition of your vehicle.
• Quick online appraisal process: You won't have to wait for days or weeks to get an answer, as is often the case on the private market.
• Down payment towards your next Lexus: Whether you're buying a new SUV, a pre-owned sports car, or another model from our Longo Lexus Certified Pre-Owned range, the money you earn with your trade-in helps keep the overall cost more manageable.

How the Longo Lexus Trade-In Process Works

Here are the steps to finalize your trade-in at our Longo Lexus dealership:

• Complete a free online appraisal. This will give you an estimate of your vehicle's value, subject to the next step in the process.
• Arrange an in-person inspection. Before we give you an offer, one of our expert Lexus auto technicians will inspect your car to verify its condition.
• Get your final trade-in offer. It will include the price we'll pay for your vehicle, allowing you to consider your options.
• Finalize the deal. If you're happy to sell your car at the price we offer, you can accept the deal.

What Affects Your Vehicle's Trade-In Value?

One factor that can affect your car's trade-in value is its condition. Having a good maintenance record plays a big role in determining this. That's because regular oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid top-ups help reduce wear and tear, and keep the vehicle operating smoothly. If you can show us a full maintenance record since you bought your car, its value is likely to be higher.

The type of vehicle you own also influences what we can offer you. To ensure that we give our customers a fair price, we base our appraisals in part on market conditions, including demand and the typical prices for different vehicles. For example, this could mean that a very popular type of car with a few maintenance issues will sell for more than a well-maintained vehicle that's less sought-after.

We also consider your car's age and the mileage on the odometer. High-mileage vehicles may have more maintenance and wear issues compared to a car from the same model year that has been driven less.

Trading In vs Selling Privately: Making the Right Choice

The debate surrounding trading in your vehicle or selling it on the private market has many pros and cons on both sides. The trade-in process is much more straightforward because you work with a reputable dealership. A private sale is unpredictable and requires a lot of work on your part, including advertising your car, arranging appointments, and negotiating a price. It's possible to secure a better price for a vehicle on the private market, but this is not certain and can involve a lot of extra work.

Explore Longo Lexus's New and Used Inventory

Our range of new luxury cars and SUVs has something for everyone. From the spacious Lexus TX or LX SUV to the compact IS sedan, or the sporty LC or RCF, you will find a model that matches your budget and driving lifestyle. Many new Lexus models are available as gas-powered or hybrid vehicles, and you'll also find some plug-in hybrids if you want a bit of all-electric range.

Our Lexus used inventory includes several Lexus certified pre-owned options. The CPO program includes vehicles that meet higher standards than normal used cars, making it a good choice if you want extra protection when buying a pre-owned vehicle.

Financing Options When Trading In Your Vehicle

After you complete your trade-in, you can take advantage of competitive auto financing offers at our dealership. Our online Lexus pre-approval gives you an idea of how much you can borrow based on your budget. This approach allows you to focus on vehicles that fit your budget. If you use the trade-in value to make a down payment, you'll have a good chance of securing better terms, such as lower interest rates or other beneficial repayment terms. We also offer lease deals if you'd rather not buy your car outright.
