3 Financial Benefits of Trading-In For a Newer Motorcycle

Sep. 14 2022 Dealership By Lawton Outlaw

Our trade-in process is dedicated to putting you in the motorcycle or powersports vehicle of your dreams. All you have to do is decide “I want to trade in my motorcycle,” and we’ll put you on the path toward receiving your motorcycle trade-in value all online.

I realize some owners are hesitant to begin the
trade-in process online, but upgrading your ride this way reaps notable financial benefits. Let's check them out.

1. Your vehicle’s trade-in value works as a discount

It’s easy to get discouraged by the retail price of a vehicle you have your heart set on, especially when you’re on a strict budget. 

But, when you trade a motorcycle online and get the trade-in value, you’ve eliminated a chunk of the cost already. V1 MOTO helps you finance your next purchase by applying the value of your old vehicle toward the cost of the new one. This way, you’re only responsible for paying the difference between old and new instead of paying full price for the new vehicle.

2. The sales tax on a trade-in is cheaper

No matter where you live in the U.S., sales tax can put a real damper on any purchase you make. In some cases, sales tax equates to hundreds, sometimes thousands, of additional dollars spent (Tennessee residents pay as much as a 9.5% sales rate on goods). That’s why a trade-in is the best route.

A trade-in allows you to pay tax only on what you spend at checkout, i.e. the difference between the trade-in value we give you and the full price of the new vehicle you purchase or finance. How’s that for savings?

3. You get back time and money when you trade motorcycles

Our super easy trade-in process make this completely possible, and V1 MOTO will break down all the steps for you. Instead of negotiating with a self-interested private party, you’ll be working with certified specialists who have the expertise to figure out the live-market value of your motorcycle trade-in, or powersports trade-in. Afterward, they’ll direct you to our extensive inventory of new Ducati, Honda, or Zero inventory.

No more waking up to missed calls from Craigslist users in the wee hours of the morning; no more funneling your hard-earned money into a paid advertisement that, as far as you can tell, isn’t getting any traction.
