Sell/Trade Your Car
Will You Purchase My Car Outright?
We will buy your vehicle from you, regardless of whether or not you buy one from us. As a Certified Auto Trader Buying Center, you are guaranteed the amount you are quoted from Auto Trader (at the least). However-depending on vehicle quality and supply and demand-we can often beat their offer by a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
When we buy your vehicle, our ability to identify the Correct Retail Value greatly influences the offer you will receive. Our experience and tools give us the ability to pinpoint the amount of money that could be available to you. When you sell or trade your vehicle at our Ford dealership near Canton, you are shown what your vehicle is worth as is.
How Do I Get My Car Appraised?
You must schedule an appointment and bring your vehicle to Shottenkirk Ford Jasper to have its value Validated. However, if you would like a rough estimate, feel free to value your trade using our quick and easy online tool for Jasper shoppers.

How Does Pricing Work?
We are a priced to market dealer; thus, we price all of our vehicles very aggressively to match other like model/mileage vehicles in the area. Before we put a price on a car, we look at market trends, competitor prices, national and local used car prices, and other factors. We want to be the best in the industry, and our competitive pricing is a big part of it. However, that doesn't mean we won't negotiate! Make a fair offer on the new Ford of your dreams and we'll see what we can do.

Do I Have to Make a Down Payment?
No. A down payment is not required to finance a vehicle. However, a down payment can make a huge impact to customers looking for a certain monthly payment or for those who want a shorter loan term. Also, those with less than desirable credit have a better chance of getting approved with a down payment; It shows the lending company a personal investment into the vehicle. We typically suggest at least a 10% down payment for most customers.
