The appraisal
Respect for your time and your trade
Whether you are upgrading a daily driver, downsizing, or consolidating into one payment, we treat the trade-in as part of a coherent story — not a pressure point.
Equity in context
Your trade is part of the full picture
A strong appraisal can reduce what you finance, simplify tax and title math in Oregon, or help you step into a different body style without stretching your monthly budget. We present numbers alongside financing options so you are never guessing how pieces fit together.

Questions
Trade-in FAQ for Oregon drivers
Honest framing matters — offers depend on inspection, title status, and market conditions. We do not quote guaranteed values before we see the vehicle.
How does a trade-in appraisal work at RSK Auto Group?
Bring your vehicle to Roger Kehdi Mitsubishi in Tigard, Newberg Chevrolet, or Newberg CDJR — or start the conversation by phone or through our contact page. A specialist reviews condition, mileage, equipment, and market data, then provides a documented offer. Final numbers are confirmed after an on-lot inspection and verification of title and payoff details.
Can I trade in a vehicle if I still owe money on it?
Yes, in many cases. We coordinate with your lender to obtain a payoff quote and compare it to your appraised value. If your vehicle is worth more than the payoff, that equity can often be applied toward your next purchase. If you are upside down, we explain the gap clearly so you can decide how to proceed — we do not promise a specific outcome in advance.
Do I have to buy a car from RSK to get a trade-in offer?
Our trade-in program is designed for customers who are shopping or purchasing through RSK Auto Group, so offers are typically presented in the context of your next vehicle. If you are unsure where you are in the process, contact any of our three Oregon locations and a manager can outline the best path.
What should I bring when I arrive for an appraisal?
Bring all keys, the current registration, your driver license, and any loan or lease account information. If you have service records, they can help tell the vehicle’s story. A clean, empty vehicle makes inspection easier — remove personal items beforehand when possible.
How does my trade-in affect financing on a pre-owned vehicle?
Positive equity reduces the amount you finance, which can lower your monthly payment or shorten the term depending on the structure you choose. Our financing team works alongside appraisals so you see how trade value, down payment, taxes, and lender terms fit together. Visit our financing page for the full purchase journey, or start a secure credit application when you are ready.
