Trading in your car at Audi Sewickley

Trading in is the simplest way to put your current car toward a new or pre-owned Audi. We appraise every make and model, not just Audi. Here is how the process works, what to bring and a few easy ways to get the most for your vehicle.

How the appraisal works

Send us your vehicle's details online or bring it in. Our appraiser looks at the condition, mileage, options and service history, and checks current market data for similar vehicles. If you take the offer, it goes straight toward your next vehicle. If you still owe money on your car, we handle the payoff with your lender.

Four steps, any make

Share your vehicle online or in person, we appraise it against current market data, you take the offer toward your next Audi, and we settle any remaining loan with your lender.

What to bring

Bring your title, or your lender's name and account information if you still have a loan. Bring every key and fob, your current registration, and any service records you have. Records showing regular maintenance help us give you a stronger number.

Easy ways to get more for your trade

Clean the car inside and out. Gather all the keys, manuals and service records. Take care of small, inexpensive fixes like a burned-out bulb. Bigger repairs usually aren't worth doing before you trade; we'll factor those into the offer.

How a trade-in lowers your sales tax

In Pennsylvania, sales tax is figured on the price of your new vehicle minus your trade-in value. The state rate is 6%, and buyers in Allegheny County pay 7% with the local tax. So a $20,000 trade saves an Allegheny County buyer about $1,400 in sales tax. Out-of-state buyers should ask us how their home state handles it.

Example: a $20,000 trade-in at the 7% Allegheny County rate saves $1,400 in Pennsylvania sales tax, with a 2026 Audi A5
