TradeMax Essential gives you up to $2,000 in trade-in credit toward your next car.
It goes toward the difference between what you owe and your car's value.
Peace of mind on a longer loan
A 72- or 84-month loan can mean owing more than your car is worth. Your TradeMax credit builds $1,000 a year up to $2,000, usable for three years at any of this dealer's locations.
Small cost, real value
A small addition to your payment builds up to $2,000 in trade-in credit.
How to use your trade credit
Tell your dealer you have TradeMax before you complete your next vehicle purchase or lease.
We confirm your credit, and your dealer applies it to your deal.
