How to Trade In Your Car at Kunes Hope Chevrolet in Milwaukee

Published on Oct 13, 2025 by Matthew Kroll

If you’re ready to upgrade your ride, trading in your current vehicle is one of the easiest ways to save money on your next purchase. At Kunes Hope Chevrolet in Milwaukee, WI, we make the trade-in process quick, transparent, and stress-free. Whether you’re buying new, pre-owned, or just want to sell your car for cash, our experts ensure you get top value for your trade.

 

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to trade in your car at Kunes Hope Chevrolet—from preparing your vehicle to finalizing your new purchase.

Step 1: Gather the Basics About Your Vehicle

Before visiting the dealership, collect some key details about your car. This will help you get a more accurate trade-in estimate and streamline the process. Be sure to know:

 

  • Make, model, and year
  • Mileage
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  • Trim level and key features
  • Condition and service history


If you still have your owner’s manual, spare keys, and maintenance records, bring them along. These can add credibility and potentially boost your offer.

Step 2: Use the Kunes Hope Chevrolet Online Trade-In Tool

You can start your trade-in process from the comfort of your home using our online trade-in estimator. Simply enter your vehicle’s details, answer a few quick questions, and you’ll receive an instant estimate of your car’s market value.

 

This free, no-obligation tool gives you a great starting point before you visit our Milwaukee dealership—and helps you plan your next purchase more confidently.

Step 3: Bring Your Vehicle to Kunes Hope Chevrolet for an Appraisal

Once you have your online estimate, schedule a visit to Kunes Hope Chevrolet, located right here in Milwaukee, WI. Our certified appraisal team will inspect your vehicle in person and confirm its condition. The process typically takes less than 30 minutes and includes:

 

  • A comprehensive exterior and interior inspection
  • A short test drive
  • A review of your service and ownership history


We’ll provide you with a fair, competitive offer based on current market trends, demand for your vehicle, and its overall condition.

Step 4: Review and Accept Your Trade-In Offer

After your appraisal, you’ll receive a written trade-in offer that’s valid for several days—giving you flexibility to make your decision. You can:

 

  • Apply your trade-in value directly toward a new or used Chevrolet.
  • Or, sell your vehicle to us outright—no purchase necessary.


Either way, you’ll enjoy a transparent, hassle-free process with no pressure to buy.

Step 5: Choose Your Next Vehicle

With your trade-in value in hand, you can explore the latest lineup of Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs at Kunes Hope Chevrolet. Popular models like the Chevy Silverado, Equinox, and Traverse offer the perfect mix of power, performance, and practicality for Milwaukee drivers.

 

Our sales professionals are here to help you compare trims, explore financing options, and find a payment plan that fits your budget.

Step 6: Finalize Your Trade and Drive Away Happy

Once you’ve chosen your next vehicle, we’ll apply your trade-in credit toward your purchase or lease. Our finance team will handle all the paperwork—including title transfer and loan payoff if applicable—so you can focus on what matters most: driving home in your new Chevrolet.
