At MATS, we love a trade-in! In fact, if you’re ready for a new ride, trading in your current vehicle with us can be one of the easiest steps you’ll take in the whole process.

The Truth About Trade-Ins

We believe in being transparent: if your goal is to get the absolute highest dollar for your vehicle, selling it privately will likely get you there. We’ll always make you a fair trade offer, but private sales often bring in more.

So why trade in with us? Two big reasons:

You get a tax credit – When you trade in, you only pay state sales tax on the purchase price of your new vehicle minus the value of your trade-in, plus our $99 documentation fee. That tax savings often closes the gap between a private sale and a trade-in—and sometimes even puts you ahead.

It’s hassle-free – No strangers test-driving your car, no back-and-forth haggling on Facebook Marketplace, and no stacks of paperwork. We handle the title transfer for you.

What If You Still Owe Money on Your Car?

No problem. We’ll work directly with your lender to pay off your loan, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

How It Works

Trading in with MATS is simple:

Go to mats.org/trade

Give us your VIN and a few photos of your vehicle.

At delivery, we’ll take your trade-in with us when we drop off your new ride.

That’s it. No extra trips, no added stress—just a smooth swap from your old vehicle to your new one.

So, if you’re ready to make the switch, we’re ready to make it easy.
