• Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
• Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in
• One-year Proof of Insurance. If your insurance card does not cover the entire year preceding the trade in, you will need other proof of insurance.

The form must include, at a minimum, the insurance company, policy number, VIN, start and end date of insurance (showing at least 1 year).
• Proof of Registration going back at least one-year.
• “Clear” title. This means the title must be free of any liens or other encumbrances. If you have liens, you need to get these cleared before going to the dealer. This may include evidence on the face of the title showing no lien; that the title has been cleared (signed and stamped accordingly), or with an attached lien release from the lien holder.
• The vehicle manufacturer date found on the driver’s door or door jamb is less than 25 years old when you trade it in.
