You can also check other online resources like Kelley Blue Book® values and Edmunds True Market Value® .

Get an Appraisal

Once you’ve got a trade-in estimate, visit our dealership in Kitty Hawk to receive an appraisal. Our certified technicians will examine your vehicle, inside and out, as well as take into consideration our current used inventory to determine whether or not we can sell the car. Make sure to bring your trade-in value estimate, as well as any other trade-in offers you’ve received, for our reference.

Negotiate or Accept a Trade-In Offer

After the appraisal is completed, you can either accept the offer from the dealership and close the deal, or negotiate for a higher price. We’ve gone to great lengths to make the process as easy as possible. A few of the benefits of selling your car to a dealership like Boyd’s OBX Chevrolet include:
