Value Your Trade
Our Value Your Trade tool is a great way to estimate how much your vehicle may be worth before starting the new vehicle shopping process with our finance team. Shaver Chrysler Jeep Dodge & Ram helps drivers in Thousand Oaks and the greater Los Angeles area get competitive trade-in value for used cars so you can shop with confidence and plan your budget using our payment calculator.
Your trade-in can help you get behind the wheel of a Dodge Challenger or a Jeep Grand Cherokee, or you can explore options across our full used inventory and certified pre-owned vehicles selection.

Trade-in FAQs
Do I need my VIN to submit a trade-in request?
No. A VIN can help our team confirm exact equipment and specs, but you can submit the form without it.
Does the online value equal a final offer?
This tool provides an estimate based on the information submitted. Final trade-in value is confirmed after a vehicle inspection.
Can I trade in a vehicle if I’m shopping used?
Yes. In the “Desired Vehicle” section, choose “Used” to let us know what you’re looking for next. You can also start browsing used vehicles anytime.
How long does it take to get my trade-in estimate?
Timing can vary based on the details submitted. Providing your VIN and photos typically helps us review your vehicle more quickly.
What should I include to get the most accurate trade-in value?
For the best estimate, include mileage, honest condition notes, your VIN (if available), and clear exterior/interior photos.
How do I use my trade-in value when budgeting for a vehicle?
Your trade-in value can reduce the amount financed. Use our payment calculator for a monthly estimate, and visit the finance center for help with next steps.
Financing tip: If you’re considering a pre-owned vehicle next, our article on financing and used cars explains how trade-in value, down payment, and monthly payments work together.
