I have this '85 Ford Bronco that I bought 4 months ago and I can’t stand driving it. I was wondering if I could trade it in at a dealership for a 2006 or 2007 Toyota Yaris. I don’t really understand all about trading in a car so could someone explain the trading in process and if this trade is possible.

When you trade in a car, they give you less then what the car is worth for the convience of not having to sell the car. Some dealerships will take the Bronco on a trade in, but most won't. You'll get more money sellin it by owner. So, sell the bronco and then go buy a new car with the profits.

You can trade in anything you want, you just won't get as much at the dealership. No dealership would put an 85 Bronco on their lot so they would probably offer you about 50 bucks (literally) and then sell it to a junk yard or auto wholesaler. You are better off selling it private party and using that money to put down on a new car. Visit www.consumerreports.com and read up about buying a new car.

Yea, you can trade in your car, but they are going to buy it off of you cheaper than you would get if you were to sell it on your own. Go look up the Kelly Blue Book price of your car to see what its worth. Just make sure if you sell it at a dealership you don't get screwed because they're good at that.

Yes, you can "trade it in," and the dealer might give you a couple of hundred dollars, but my guess is that he or she will just tack that amount on to what you pay for the other car. It is a lot of trouble to sell it yourself to an individual, but you will come out ahead. If you sell it to an individual, be sure to go to the tax office to transfer the title. Don't let the new buyer take the old car until it is no longer in your name.

You can always trade a old car at a dealer, but you will likely get more money for it if you sold it yourself. At a dealer that Bronco would just go to auction and not on to their lot. They tend to give better prices for vehicles they can put out on their lot.

They may give you $100 for it. Better off selling it on Craigslist.com, Recycler.com or Pennysaverusa.com. You may get $500 or more.

they will take it in as a trade. just try to get as much as you paid for it back. prepare to take a loss and have one hell of a monthly payment
