If you’re shopping for a new vehicle in the St. Louis area, you’ve probably realized that the cost of a car can add up quickly. But what if there were a smart way to lower your monthly payments without sacrificing the vehicle you want? At Schicker Ford, local drivers are discovering that combining a trade-in with the best auto financing can make their dream car more affordable than ever.

The Power of a Trade-In

One of the easiest ways to reduce your monthly car payment is by leveraging the value of your current vehicle. When you value your trade at Schicker Ford, you’re not just getting a number—you’re getting a head start on your next car purchase. By applying your trade-in’s value directly toward your new or used vehicle, you lower the total amount you need to finance.

For example, if your current car is worth $5,000 and you’re looking at a $30,000 vehicle, applying that trade-in reduces your financed amount to $25,000. That means smaller monthly payments, less interest over time, and a smoother path to driving off the lot in a car you love.
