Your trade-in value is more than a number to look up before you visit the dealership. It becomes part of the transaction when you replace your current vehicle, and it affects how much equity you bring with you, how an existing payoff fits into the deal, and how much remains to finance or pay.
We bring those pieces together at T&S Ford. Start with the online KBB tool, then bring your vehicle to us so we can verify its actual mileage, condition, equipment, ownership information, payoff when applicable, and current market position.
Once we establish the final trade value, we show you exactly where that value fits before you decide on your next Ford or pre-owned vehicle.
We move from online information to the actual vehicle, then connect the verified value with the transaction you are building.
Use the KBB tool to enter your vehicle information, mileage, condition, and other details that establish the online starting point.
We verify mileage, equipment, exterior and interior condition, mechanical needs, history, title information, and the details behind the vehicle.
We combine what we find on the vehicle with current market demand and reconditioning needs so you have a verified value to work with.
We show you the trade allowance, payoff when applicable, available equity, and how those numbers fit with the vehicle you want next.
Enter your vehicle information in the KBB tool, then let us verify the value and show you how it fits into your next purchase.
Year and mileage matter, but they do not tell the whole story. We look at the complete vehicle before we establish the value that goes into your transaction.
We look at the body, cabin, tires, mechanical condition, maintenance information, accident or damage history, trim, equipment, title status, and current demand for comparable vehicles.
We compare the odometer with the vehicle’s age, service history, overall condition, and expectations for that model.
Drivetrain, trim level, factory packages, towing equipment, technology, accessories, and other equipment change how one vehicle compares with another.
Tires, brakes, warning lights, cosmetic damage, mechanical issues, detailing, and other work needed after trade-in affect the final appraisal.
We compare your vehicle with the market around similar used vehicles instead of relying on the odometer or model year alone.
If you own the vehicle outright, the verified trade value becomes available equity that can go toward your next vehicle.
If you still have an auto loan, we verify the current payoff and compare that balance with the trade value. That comparison tells us whether you have equity available or a remaining balance to account for.
We put those numbers in front of you before you finalize the next transaction so you understand what your current vehicle is contributing and what still needs to be addressed.
When your transaction meets West Virginia’s requirements for a qualifying vehicle exchange, the amount credited for the trade is deducted from the vehicle sale price used to calculate the state’s motor-vehicle sales tax.
That is one reason to look at more than the trade number by itself. We show you the vehicle price, trade allowance, payoff, equity, taxes, financing, and other transaction details separately so you can see how the pieces work together.
Once we know what your current vehicle contributes, you can compare the next vehicle with a much clearer picture of the transaction.
Compare current Ford trucks, SUVs, performance vehicles, electrified models, and other available configurations with your verified trade value already part of the conversation.
Use your trade toward a pre-owned car, truck, or SUV and compare the current vehicle price, trade equity, financing, and ownership budget together.
Compare eligible certified pre-owned vehicles when you want a used-vehicle path with additional certification requirements and program benefits.
Our Market Best Pricing approach gives you an upfront, market-based starting price on our vehicles instead of making the purchase price something you have to uncover through repeated negotiation.
That keeps the trade and the next vehicle easier to evaluate. We can look separately at the vehicle price, applicable programs, your trade value, payoff, equity, financing, taxes, and other transaction details instead of blending everything into one number.
You see what your current vehicle is worth and what the next vehicle costs before deciding how you want to move forward.
Choose the path based on what you want to do after the appraisal.
We establish your trade value, account for any payoff, identify available equity, and connect those numbers with the new or used vehicle you are considering.
If you want to sell your current vehicle for cash and keep that transaction separate from another purchase, use our direct vehicle-acquisition process instead.
You do not need to make your vehicle perfect before the appraisal. Bring it in its current condition so we can evaluate what is actually there.
Ownership information, payoff details, maintenance records, and the equipment that belongs with the vehicle give us the context we need to complete the appraisal and prepare the trade correctly.
We work with drivers from White Hall, Fairmont, Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Morgantown, Grafton, Shinnston, Mannington, Buckhannon, and communities throughout Marion County and North Central West Virginia.
We understand the vehicles people actually use here: daily I-79 commuters, four-wheel-drive trucks, work vehicles, family SUVs, all-weather transportation, and vehicles that see a mix of highway miles and West Virginia back roads.
That is why we inspect your actual vehicle instead of treating every car or truck with the same model year and mileage as if it has lived the same life.

Online Kelley Blue Book values are starting points and remain subject to vehicle inspection and verification. Final trade value depends on vehicle condition, mileage, history, equipment, title and ownership status, reconditioning needs, payoff information, and current market factors. Financing approval, rates, terms, amount financed, and treatment of any remaining loan balance depend on lender requirements and the final transaction. West Virginia trade-in tax treatment depends on the transaction meeting applicable statutory requirements.
