Step 3: Accept Our Offer to Buy Your Car

If you decide to sell us your vehicle, please provide us with the following information: a copy of the vehicle registration for all persons named on the title, a valid title, and all keys and keyless remotes. Please also disclose any salvage history, flood damage, theft recovery, or any other title branding. All persons named on the title must be present to sign all documents.

With a loan or lease on your car, you may not have the title in hand, so ask us what to bring instead.

Trade In Toward Your Next Vehicle

For a new Ford lease, our current lease specials are the place to start, and you can ask us how your trade-in fits your deal before you sign.

If your next car is certified or used, go straight to our certified pre-owned vehicles, read how Ford Blue Advantage certification works, or browse used cars of all makes. Ask us how your trade-in works toward a certified or used vehicle.

When you buy, not lease, your next vehicle from a dealer and use your trade-in as part of the payment, Michigan generally applies sales tax to the price after your trade-in's agreed value comes off. That value has to be listed separately on your purchase paperwork, and the amount that comes off is subject to any limit in state law. Ask us how this applies to your own purchase.

Michigan generally figures sales tax on the price after your trade-in's agreed value comes off, as long as the trade-in is part of the payment on a vehicle you buy from a dealer. Your purchase paperwork has to show the trade-in's value separately, and any limit in state law still applies. Ask us how it works on your own purchase.

Bring a valid title, a copy of the vehicle registration for everyone listed on the title, and all of your keys and keyless remotes.
