Trade-ins typically need to be owned by you or have your name on the title. If you're leasing a vehicle and want to upgrade, that's a different process-let our team know, and we can help you navigate lease-end options and potentially roll into a new purchase. If someone else holds the title, they'll need to sign off on the trade, or you'll need to complete the ownership transfer first. The best way to clarify your specific situation is to call **(779) 265-4427** and speak with our sales team. They'll explain what documents you'll need and how to make the trade-in work smoothly. We're here to help make the transition as easy as possible.
