How the exchange process works
The car exchange process at Sauto is as convenient as possible and consists of a few simple steps:
Application and evaluation
You submit a request online or visit our dealership. Our expert evaluates your car (considering brand, year, mileage, and condition) and immediately gives a fair price. (A preliminary estimate can be received by phone or through the website form.)
Choosing a new car
Based on your preferences, we offer car options from our inventory – new or used. You inspect the vehicles, take test drives, and choose the most suitable one. A Sauto manager provides professional advice.
Document processing
We verify the legal cleanliness of your old car and prepare all necessary documents for the exchange. You don't need to worry about bureaucracy – our specialists will handle the contract, delivery-acceptance act, and other paperwork.
Exchange and extra payment
Once everything is agreed upon, we finalize the deal. The value of your old car goes toward the new car’s payment. You pay the price difference (in a convenient way – cash, card, or bank transfer). If necessary, you can arrange a loan for the remaining amount directly with us.
Receiving your new car
Congratulations, the exchange is complete! You hand over your old car keys and receive the keys and documents for your new one. The whole process takes one day, and then you drive home in your "new" car. Have a great ride!

Huge thanks to Sauto for a great job! Exchanged my 10-year-old sedan for a newer car in just one day. Didn't expect it to be so easy: my car was fairly evaluated, they helped me pick a new car within my budget. Turned out very profitable, and most importantly – no hassle with the paperwork. Now I recommend Trade-In from Sauto to everyone I know!

I was hesitant for a long time about trading in my old car. Sauto cleared all my doubts. The guys at the showroom explained everything in detail and found me a great replacement option. The whole process was transparent and really quick – I applied in the morning and left with another car by evening. I'm very happy with the approach and service!

I needed a newer car for work but didn’t want to waste time selling the old one. Sauto handled everything perfectly: came in the morning with my old car and drove away in the evening with the new one. The whole procedure took one day, all documents were done right, and I paid the difference with no issues. The exchange was honest and quick. Thanks for the promptness and professionalism!
Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are needed for the exchange?
To complete the deal, you’ll need standard documents for you and the car: owner’s ID, vehicle technical passport (PTC), and registration certificate. It’s also recommended to provide the service book (if available) and both sets of keys. All other legal checks (liens, restrictions, etc.) are handled by us. If anything else is needed – we’ll let you know.
Is there a fee for the Trade-In service?
No, there is no additional fee for the exchange itself. Sauto buys your car and sells you another, so no commissions are charged. You only pay the price difference if the new car is more expensive. No hidden fees – the extra payment amount is agreed upon in advance and fixed in the contract.
What condition should my car be in?
We accept cars in any condition, even with mileage and minor issues. Of course, the car must be running and legally yours. Don’t worry about small scratches or an older age – we evaluate cars objectively. Each case is discussed individually, but in general, we accept almost all brands, models, and years.
What if I don’t have enough money for the extra payment?
If you lack the funds for the extra payment, we’ll offer convenient options. Sauto works with reliable banks: you can get a car loan or installment plan right at our showroom on favorable terms. The loan process is fast, so you can complete the exchange without delaying your dream of a new car.
Do I need to sell my car myself?
No, you don’t need to find a buyer or sell the car on your own. That’s the convenience of Trade-In – we buy your car directly, saving you the trouble of selling. You just hand over your old car and get another one at the same time. No separate deals or extra hassle – the whole operation is done in one place and one go.
