1. Bring the old car to our specialists.

2. Prepare documents for the car.

3. Take your passport and driver's license with you.

Arriving at our car dealership, you simply choose the car you like, after which the professionals will inspect your car. Based on the assessment, the price of the car will be announced, which can be included in the cost of the new model.

How to buy a new car with Trade-In?

Within the framework of the system operating in the Consul car dealership, you can immediately buy a new car, or pay the initial payment for a car loan with the cost of an old car.

The Trade In program is one of the easiest ways to buy a new car. The essence of the program is that your old car is used to offset the cost of a new car.

The procedure for running the TRADE IN program is quite simple:

For those who do not want to bother with selling a used car at all, there are ways to do everything quickly and without communicating with the buyer, explaining that the car is in order, bickering and lengthy discussions. To sell the car quickly and on the spot, you can contact Trade-in.

By renting a car to a car dealership, you will save time, but you will have to pay money for it. Read about how to sell a car by trade-in, what it is, and what you need to know and consider in our material.

To return the car, you need to come to the dealership, where the managers inspect the car, after which they make a prompt assessment and name their price, which will inevitably be lower than market prices.

Then it's up to you to agree to the proposed conditions or not to agree. If you came to change the car not for another car, but for real money, be prepared to bid. But you need to prepare not only for them - preparation for selling a car by trade-in will include the following:

• Make sure that all components are in good working order - for every problem with your car, the salon will greatly reduce the price.
• Make sure it's legal - even outstanding fines can cause your car not to be accepted for trade-in.
• Do not hide anything from the dealership - honest and open cooperation is expected. Car dealerships and dealerships that accept cars by trade-in conduct a preliminary check of the car, finding out everything both from the legal side and about the presence of an accident or working in a taxi.

The price of the car will be reduced from the market, because the goal of the car dealership in this case is to make money on the further sale of the car. You give the car for resale, but with a guarantee that it will be deregistered and that everything will be done “in white”.

Exchange your car for another

In addition to exchanging for money, you can exchange your car under the trade-in program for another car. In this case, the loss from the market value will be compensated by some other preferences that the dealer can make.

Selling cars by trade-in for a dealer is a way to sell a car against the car that the client is going to sell. There are two types of trade-in car exchanges:

• Exchanging a used car for a new car;
• Exchange of a used car for a used car.

If you change your car for a new one at a dealer of your brand, then they will give you a discount, give you better credit conditions and provide other preferences, since it is beneficial for a car dealership that you buy a car from them. Therefore, it is more profitable for you to sell a car in a trade-in in this way.

In the case of exchanging your used car for a used car, which is already presented in the showroom under the trade-in program, you need to be more careful. There is a stereotype that if a car is sold from a dealer, then it must be clean and honest, but it should be remembered that the previous owners who were before the salon bought the car could wind up the mileage, hide the fact of an accident and do much more.

Therefore, in order not to be fooled by buying a vehicle in a car dealership, we recommend that you conduct a preliminary check using the Autocode service.

Thanks to the check, you will know in advance how many owners the vehicle actually had, whether the car was used to work in a taxi or not, what is its history, mileage, and what, perhaps, the previous owner managed to hide from the salon managers.

For one, it does not hurt to thoroughly check the technical condition of the machine using the services of an on-site inspection.

After all, exchanging your car, even if you don’t need it anymore, but still proven and dear, for a “pig in a poke”, which can start to break down or turn out to be problematic from a legal point of view, will be very unpleasant and, more importantly, will strike at welfare. When exchanging your car for another, carry out a preliminary check, otherwise the exchange will be unfair and unequal with any surcharges.

However, that's all. One, albeit weighty, plus against a lot of minuses, for which the fingers of one hand are not enough to count. The first and most obvious of these is the loss of money. The fact that dealers greatly underestimate the cost of an old car - in some cases the price tag is cut by 30% - everyone already guesses. But few people think that there really is no discount on a new car that car dealerships promise. All this, as already mentioned, is dust in the eyes of a gullible consumer.

What is a bonus for buying a brand new car? This is the cost of a used car accepted by the dealer. Yes, in fact this is a discount - but not in the sense that we are all used to. Let's draw a parallel with the independent sale of the old "cars". They buy it from you for a certain amount of money - say, 500,000 rubles - and you invest these funds in a new “swallow”. Dealer trade In is the same scheme - the price of a car flaunting in the showroom is not reduced (although sometimes - quite rarely - the seller does reduce the price of a new car. But, again, this is the exception rather than the rule).

modestly

The second negative point is the limited choice. If you come to the official dealer of a particular brand, then be kind enough to choose a car of this particular brand. Of course, such an approach will not confuse those who dream of a specific car with a specific nameplate. But even they should not forget that it will be possible to transfer overnight from an old car to a new one only if the latter is available. If you don't like the "beauties" in the showroom - pre-order and wait. And don't be surprised if after a certain number of days the cost of your bueshka drops even lower.

Not everyone needs a new car that just rolled off the assembly line. Someone, perhaps, would prefer to buy a supported, but more status car for the same money. However, according to the laws of the trade In genre, such operations are not allowed. You can give up an old vehicle only on a fresh one, which has seen only the walls of the factory, the body of an auto transporter and the faces of cunning car dealership sellers. Initially, after all, trade-in was created as a tool to stimulate sales of new products, remember?

Dangerous

Trade In appraisers themselves are very difficult guys, like any other managers whose task is to sell goods or services to naive mortals. They, of course, have their own "black" schemes for divorcing clients. For example, as one car owner told the AvtoVzglyad portal, he was given an invoice in the capital's car dealership to pay for diagnostics and minor repairs of the car, which was given through trade In. It all ended in a loud scandal, as a result of which the driver did not pay a penny - the “robbers” ran into the wrong person.

The fairy tale about a quick and “profitable” exchange of an old car for a new one can also be overshadowed by fines and taxes on a sold car. In theory, employees of the trade In department should take responsibility not only for the resale of the vehicle, but also for its re-registration. In practice, everything sometimes happens differently: the dealer - either on purpose or by accident - forgets about it. The problem is solved in

Do I need to deregister a car for a trade-in? Trade in is gaining popularity in Russia. When handing over an old car, the owner carefully reads the contract with the salon, whether there are any pitfalls. The check includes the correct indication of the price, the correctness of the data of the car and the owner, the absence of additional imposed services. Sometimes there is a question about the termination of the registration of the car. An employee of the salon will swear by oath that when a car is traded in, deregistration is not necessary and will smoothly transfer the conversation to the choice of a new car. Just how right is he and will the former owner not have to look at the fines from the new owner in bewilderment?

Using the trade-in system, the car owner can change the car in one day. You will have to pay for a new one.

The price of a new car - the cost of the old one = surcharge for a new car.

Replacing a vehicle can take as little as one day. The client arrives at the salon in one car and leaves in another, new one. The service is implemented by dealers and car dealerships to increase the number of cars sold.

The dealer diagnoses the car, analyzes similar ads on the Internet and announces the price. If the cost looks adequate for the owner, he signs the necessary documents. The cost of the old car is deducted from the price of the new car and the client, having made an additional payment, buys a new car. By the way, it is not necessary to buy a new car, managers can also offer a used one.

The trade-in system appeared in the Russian Federation relatively recently.

It is beneficial to rent your car for an exchange with an additional payment for a new one for a number of reasons:

1. Saving time. No need to prepare a car for sale, look for a buyer, show the car, answer endless questions and bid. A potential buyer may not want to buy a car after the inspection, then they will have to look for another buyer / place an ad and wait for someone else to want to buy a car.
2. Attractive conditions for buying a new car. Many car dealerships offer good discounts or expensive gifts (for example, a set of winter tires) if the buyer uses the trade-in system.
3. No need to walk. Having sold an old car in the usual way, from hand to hand, a motorist is unlikely to immediately, on the same day, buy a new one. So, for some time he will join the ranks of pedestrians. Using the trade-in system, the driver is spared from such inconveniences.
4. Car loan. You can buy a car using the above system on credit. Many banks reduce the interest on the loan with such a purchase.
5. Legal purity of the purchase. Dealers thoroughly check that the car is not under arrest and is not the subject of a pledge. Both the reputation of the salon and earnings depend on this.
6. Opportunity to sell only. If there is no desire to buy a new car through the salon, you can limit yourself to selling an old car.

However, it is worth remembering that the trade-in system has not only advantages, it is worth paying attention to significant disadvantages:

1. Underpricing. The salon finds buyers who take the car a little more expensive than the price for which the owner sold. The salon takes the difference, and earns on that. It turns out that the owner himself could find buyers and keep this difference in value for himself. Dealers call the price below the market price, because they immediately deduct from it the cost of storing and selling the car.
2. Limited choice. Salon managers will persistently persuade you to buy what they already have. Moreover, they can persistently persuade the client to buy the car that is profitable for them to sell, and not the one that the client is really profitable to buy. Partially, this can be avoided if you look after the car in advance and immediately contact the salon of an authorized dealer.
3. Possible disappointment in a new car. On the observation decks of the salons there are both new cars and used ones. There is a great risk of buying a car that someone has already driven with all the ensuing difficulties in the form of repairs. The salon does not overhaul used cars, it is unprofitable for dealers.

It would seem that there are more pluses than minuses, but each car owner decides for himself whether it is worth contacting the salons and how to sell his car.

The car has been sold, and many motorists are beginning to think and look for an answer to the question: “I handed over the car for trade in, how to deregister?”.

Particular attention should be paid to the sale and purchase agreement - most likely, the procedure for deregistration of the car when selling in a trade in is prescribed there. Often in the salon, a person pays attention to other attributes of the contract (price, correctly entered data, rights and obligations of a car dealership, etc.) and asks the question: how to deregister a car that has been traded in, having already bought a new car and left on it home.

It is worth carefully reviewing the contract for re-registration of rights to the car. The salon takes the car under a commission agreement. Although the salon buys the car from the owner, it does not become the owner. The salon acts as an intermediary in the transaction. The car is sold together with the old numbers and it turns out that the responsibility for re-registration of ownership lies with the new owner.

In this situation, the old owner faces two risks:

• it is not known how much the salon will sell the car, during which time the transport tax will come to the previous owner;
• the buyer for unknown reasons may not re-register the car for himself.

A person does not know to whom he is selling a car, the consequences are different:

1. The newly-minted owner will exceed the speed limit and fall under the traffic police cameras, and a fine for not removed numbers will be sent to the previous owner.
2. The transport tax goes to the former owner.
3. The car can be used for any criminal purposes.

You can dispute all the charges, having with you a contract of sale, as well as an act of acceptance and transfer of a car, but litigation will take time, nerves and money (meaning lost earnings).

It is not known how long it will take the salon to sell a new car. On the one hand, dealers quickly sell cars, it makes no sense for them to waste time. On the other hand, the car may not appeal to potential customers, all of a sudden, for some reason, the salon managers will not be able to sell it.

Before the entry into force of the new amendments, the owner of the car, who decided to sell it through intermediaries, removed it from the register before handing it over to the salon employees. On October 15, 2013, a new Administrative Regulation for the execution of the state service for the registration of vehicles was released. In 2018, no fundamentally new laws regarding trade-in were adopted, therefore, we are guided by the regulations that have been in force since 2013.

Deregistration of a vehicle is allowed in two cases:

• disposal;
• export abroad of the Russian Federation for a long time.

Now it will not be possible to remove the car from the register for sale under the trade-in system. According to the new regulations - only for disposal and export abroad.

Before the sale, it is not required to remove the car from the registration with the traffic police, because this automatically happens after the mandatory 10-day period for entering data on the new owner.

Decent salons that value their reputation remove the car from registration themselves. Thus, they avoid many problems and do not force the customers who entrusted them with the vehicle to puzzle over the question of whether the sold car should be deregistered during the trade-in.

A car owner who decides to sell a car can also avoid the troubles associated with re-registering a car.

To do this, make sure that the contract contains the following information:

• the period during which the car dealership guarantees the sale of the vehicle;
• responsible person (former owner or car dealership) for the abandoned car while it is in the cabin;
• empowering the salon with the rights to deregister a car.

In the latter case, the owner may have to write a power of attorney. Then the car dealership will check whether the new owner has registered the vehicle. The issued power of attorney is beneficial to the former owner and managers. Having sold the car, dealers will be able to control the fact of re-registration of the car by the new owner in 10 days. If the car is still registered with the previous owner, the salon itself can apply for deregistration and search for the car, eliminating an unpleasant situation with the old owner.

It is worth knowing what the delay in registering a new vehicle is fraught with for the buyer. If the driver is stopped by the traffic police, and the car has not been re-registered for more than 10 days, then he will have to pay a fine of 500 - 800 rubles. according to part 1 of Art. 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to part 1.1 of the same article, in case of repeated violation, a fine of 5000 rubles will be issued. or deprive the right to drive a vehicle from 1 to 3 months. When stopping a car deregistered, traffic police officers will be forced to withdraw the certificate of registration of the vehicle and state signs. It will be impossible to continue driving in such a car.

To register with the traffic police, a new owner who has not registered the vehicle within 10 days will have to call a tow truck.

The fears of people selling a car using the trade-in system are related to receiving vehicle tax and fines for the vehicle sold. The car can be charged all the time while it is in the cabin until the purchase by the buyer. To avoid this unpleasant situation, you can show in the tax contract of sale and the act of acceptance and transfer of the vehicle.

If there is a fear that the new owner of the vehicle will not register it for himself immediately, it is worth:

• show in the traffic police the contract of sale drawn up in the salon;
• send a copy of the contract to the tax office.

This can be done no earlier than 10 days inclusive from the moment when the car was handed over to the salon staff. It is better to wait 15 - 20 days so that the information in the traffic police database has time to update and then find out who the vehicle is registered with. If the re-registration has not yet taken place, the public services portal will help the car owner. You need to sign up on the public services portal to terminate the registration, then come with a sales contract and get a certificate from the traffic police that the car is not registered with the previous owner.

These actions can be performed if you already have a contract of sale on hand. When a dealership sells a car, it must send a copy of the contract to the previous owner.

The car is removed from the register, and the person who sold the car ceases to be the owner. Just keep in mind that the old car will be put on the wanted list. The new owner will face troubles, the existence of which he did not even suspect.

A well-written contract with a car dealership will help save yourself and the future buyer from an unpleasant situation with re-registration.

It should clearly indicate who is responsible for the car from the moment it appears in the salon, for what period of time they undertake to sell the vehicle, and whether the salon is entitled to deregister the car upon transfer to a new owner.
