Trading in your vehicle is a fast, convenient way to put value toward a new Genesis. Our appraisal team uses industry-standard methods to determine fair market value.

**The Appraisal Process**
Bring your vehicle in-our team inspects its condition, mileage, service history, and market demand. We look at mechanical condition, interior and exterior wear, accident history, and any maintenance records. This gives us a complete picture.

**What Affects Value**
Mileage, condition, service history, and current market demand all play a role. A well-maintained vehicle with complete service records typically appraises higher. Our team is transparent about what we see and how it affects the offer.

**Quick & Easy**
The appraisal usually takes 20-30 minutes. Once we agree on value, it's applied directly to reduce what you finance on your new Genesis-lowering your monthly payment.

**Ready to Trade In?**
