Bring the paperwork, both keys and an honest account of the car. Hold off on repairs until you have asked sales, and keep your plate: FLHSMV says it stays with the seller.
Do know your own numbers first: what you still owe on the car, if anything, and what you want to spend on the next one.
Do bring the paperwork and both keys. The value your trade page lists what to bring.
Do tell the appraiser what you know about the car: a warning light, a repair that is coming due, an accident on its record.
Do keep the trade and the purchase as two conversations, so each number stays clear to you.
Know what you owe, bring the papers, say what is wrong.
Don't pay for repairs just before you trade in without asking sales first whether they matter to the appraisal.
Don't leave personal things behind: check the glovebox, the console, the garage door opener and any toll transponder.
Don't treat a number from a general website as an offer. An offer comes from an appraisal of the car itself, and the vehicle acquisition page explains how the store makes one.
Ask before you spend money on a car you are about to trade.
Two Florida rules sellers ask about, as FLHSMV states them, and where to go if you are not buying.
FLHSMV says you can trade in a vehicle with an existing lien at a dealership. Bring your lender's details.
In Florida, license plates stay with the seller, not the vehicle, as FLHSMV puts it. Take yours off when the paperwork is done.
Not buying? Why sell to a dealer covers that choice, and who to sell to compares the routes.
Gather the paperwork and both keys, know what you still owe, and clear out your personal things. The value your trade page lists the paperwork.
Ask sales before you pay for any repair. Whether a repair affects the appraisal is a question for the appraisal itself.
Yes. FLHSMV says a vehicle with an existing lien can be traded in at a dealership. Bring your lender's details.

This page is general guidance on selling or trading in a vehicle; it makes no offer and states no vehicle's value. Any offer on a vehicle comes from the store's appraisal of that vehicle. Florida's seller requirements are described as FLHSMV states them on its Selling a Vehicle and Liens and Titles pages; FLHSMV sets and may change them. This is not legal advice. Germain Toyota of Naples, 13315 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34110. Sales (239) 301-3156.
