Yes. Sell My Car STL partners with local dealerships, allowing you to apply a trade-in value toward a new or used vehicle purchase. In many cases you can combine a trade-in with our Instant Cash Offer to maximize your overall deal — discuss options with our team to determine the best approach for your goals.
