Absolutely-Castle Cadillac McHenry handles trade-ins with existing loans all the time. If you owe money on your current vehicle, we work with your lender to pay off that balance at closing. If your trade-in value is higher than what you owe, the difference goes toward your new car purchase. Our finance team manages all the paperwork and coordinates with your current lender, so you don't have to worry about the details. For specifics on your situation-your payoff amount, trade-in value, and how it all nets out-call us at (779) 265-4427. We'll walk you through it and make sure the transition is smooth.
