Thinking About an Upgrade? How Part-Exchange Works at CarGiant

2 People looking into a car
| In Buying Guides

If your current car is starting to feel a little tired—or just no longer suits your needs—it might be time for an upgrade. One of the easiest ways to make that happen is through part-exchange, and at CarGiant, we’ve made the process as straightforward as possible.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how part-exchange works, what to expect, and how to get the best value for your car.


What Is Part-Exchange?

Part-exchange is where you trade in your current car as part-payment towards a new (or new-to-you) one. It means you don’t have to worry about selling your car privately or dealing with online marketplaces. Instead, we’ll assess your vehicle, give you a valuation, and apply that amount to your next CarGiant purchase.


How It Works at CarGiant

We’ve simplified the process into a few easy steps:

1. Bring Your Car to CarGiant

Head to our site with your current car and speak to a member of the team. No appointment is necessary—just pop in during opening hours, and we’ll get things started.

2. Free Vehicle Appraisal

One of our experts will inspect your vehicle on-site. They’ll check its condition, mileage, service history, and any additional features or extras that may affect its value.

3. Get a Competitive Offer

We’ll then give you a part-exchange offer based on current market data and the vehicle’s condition. There’s no obligation—but if you accept, the value will be deducted from the cost of the car you want to buy.

4. Choose Your Next Car

With thousands of used vehicles in stock—from small city cars to family SUVs—you’ll have plenty of choice. Our team can help you compare models, arrange a test drive, and explore your finance options.

5. Drive Away the Same Day

Once you’ve picked your next car, we’ll take care of the paperwork and transfer process. You could be driving away in your upgrade that very day.
