Champion Ford Houston
Q: I’m thinking of getting a Taurus from Champion Ford Houston, but do they accept trade ins?
A: Yeah, they do. I traded in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (1992) with them two years ago when I bought my Ford Focus. It wasn’t in great condition, and the transmission was going out along with a few other things. I had just replaced the starter and a few fuses, and all but one window didn’t roll down. The trunk wouldn’t open. I had been trying to get rid of it so that I could get a new car, and so I had called one of those ads in the Greensheet where they say that they’ll pay cash for cars. First of all, those things are rip offs and I’d advise against anybody using them… Everybody I talked to would only buy my car for less than three hundred dollars. I had bought that car for three thousand! No way!
Soooo, I went to Champion Ford Houston to get my Focus and asked them if they took trade ins. The Champion Ford Houston sales guy told me yes and I talked to him about the condition and make, model, year, and all of that. In the end, they ended up offering me $1500 for it–way more than I expected. I wasn’t looking for big bucks, just, you know, a little more than three hundred dollars.
The cool thing is that you don’t even have to call them up or go up there to see if they’ll take your trade in anymore, because they have this thing on the Champion Ford Houston dealer website that helps you determine how much your car is worth. You just fill out this little form with information on your car, and it gives you the value of it and then they call you up and talk to you about your trade in and the Houston Champion Ford car that you want to buy. It’s really easy, and you can get so much done right at home that it saves a lot of time from spending at the car lot.
