How to Trade In Your Car in South Africa
Prepare your vehicle, compare valuations and understand settlement figures before trading in.
Prepare the car
Gather service records, spare keys and registration documents, then clean the car and disclose known faults.
Compare offers
Request more than one valuation and compare the complete change-over amount, not only the trade-in figure.
Finance settlements
If money is owed, obtain a current settlement letter and confirm how any shortfall or equity affects the new deal.
