Trading in your current vehicle is a convenient way to put equity toward your next Genesis.

**Getting a Trade-In Appraisal**
Bring your car to Genesis of Downers Grove, and our team will inspect its condition, mileage, maintenance history, and market value. We're fair and transparent about what it's worth. You can also call **(630) 598-9950** with basic details (year, make, model, mileage, condition) to get a ballpark estimate.

**What We Look For**
- Exterior and interior condition
- Service records and maintenance history
- Mileage and age
- Mechanical soundness
- Any accidents or damage

**Trade-In With an Outstanding Loan**
No problem. We can handle the payoff and roll any remaining balance into your financing if needed.

**Applying Your Trade-In Value**
Once appraised, your trade-in value reduces the amount you finance or pay down on your new vehicle, lowering your out-the-door price.
