Questions about trading in

Common questions about trading in or selling your vehicle at Swell Car Company in Wilmington, NC.

How do I find out what my car is worth in Wilmington, NC?

Submit your vehicle details through our online trade-in form. We use real-time market data to provide a transparent valuation, typically within the same business day. You can also call or text 910-218-9100.

Do I have to buy a car to trade mine in?

No commitment required. We purchase vehicles even if you’re not buying from us. We’re always looking for quality pre-owned inventory and make fair, no-pressure offers.

How long does the appraisal process take?

Submitting your details online takes just a few minutes. After receiving your offer, bring your vehicle to 3709 Carolina Beach Rd for the final in-person inspection, which typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Can I trade in a car that still has a loan on it?

Yes, and it’s common. If your car is worth more than you owe, that equity goes toward your next vehicle. If you owe more than it’s worth, we’ll walk you through your options transparently.

What vehicles does Swell Car Company accept for trade?

We accept most makes and models, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, regardless of condition. High mileage, older models, and vehicles needing repairs are all welcome.

How long is my trade-in offer valid?

Most offers are valid for 7 days or 250 miles from the appraisal date. Market conditions occasionally require updates, so the sooner you act, the better.
