At Acura of Lafayette, we believe that selling or trading your car should be an enjoyable experience that people look forward to. We treat our customers like family and always work to be transparent and pay a fair price for pre-loved cars. Our team goes above and beyond to simplify this process for you, whether you’re from Lafayette, Baton Rouge, or even New Orleans.
We’ll handle all the details, like paperwork and getting an accurate appraisal, so you have more time to focus on the more important things in your life. Feel free to browse our new inventory while we work diligently to ensure you have an enjoyable, stress-free experience when selling or trading your vehicle. Who knows, you might even have a little fun!
Are you considering taking one of our newer Acura models home? No problem! We’ll simply apply your trade value directly towards the new or pre-owned vehicle of your choosing. Using this tax-efficient strategy can help lower your out-of-pocket expenses while potentially reducing your tax liability by thousands. In addition, you’ll save valuable time by only having to negotiate and fill out paperwork once. We’ll explain everything along the way, from the first moment you arrive at our dealership to that exciting moment you leave in your new vehicle.
When you choose to trade your vehicle for one of our new or pre-owned vehicles, you’re choosing transparency. We’ll provide you with the CARFAX® and reconditioning documents if you decide to purchase pre-owned. And with our “what you see is what you get” pricing, everything is laid out on the table. Whether you’re shopping online, by phone, or in person, we’ll provide all the information you need to make the most informed decision possible.

At Acura of Lafayette, we want to empower our customers with as much knowledge as possible so that they can make an educated decision that best suits their needs. We’ll walk you through the private sale value and how similar cars are priced in the market. By having a higher view of the market, you can make a more informed decision that will bring you peace of mind.
1. How do I get a fair offer for my car at Acura of Lafayette?
Acura of Lafayette evaluates your car using market data, condition, and local demand. Then, we’ll provide a competitive offer that reflects real-time values in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and beyond. It’s that simple—just a transparent and fair process you can trust.
2. Is selling to a dealership or handling a private sale faster?
Our dealership will usually save you time and effort. Selling on the private market can involve extended negotiations, advertising expenses, and meeting strangers. At Acura of Lafayette, you’ll receive a direct offer for an easy transaction, so you can focus your time and energy on what’s important.
3. Should I schedule an appointment for my appraisal?
Scheduling an appraisal ensures our specialists will have dedicated time set aside to assist you. While we do accept walk-ins, setting an appointment streamlines your experience. In either case, we’re always eager to provide a professional and prompt evaluation at our Lafayette location.
4. Can I sell or trade in a car that’s not an Acura?
Absolutely! We accept almost every make and model. Bring in your vehicle, regardless of brand, for a quick appraisal. Our experts will give you a competitive offer you can use toward a new Acura or any other vehicle on our lot.
5. What are the benefits of trading vs selling outright?
Trading in your vehicle can reduce the taxable amount on your next purchase, likely lowering your overall cost. In addition, it’s a quick, turnkey solution at Acura of Lafayette—no separate sale required. This means less stress and more time to take care of other important things in your life.
6. What if I owe more on my loan than my car is worth?
This is known as being upside down on your loan. We can assist you in exploring options, including rolling the difference into a new finance plan if you choose to buy another vehicle. Our team of finance experts in Lafayette will help simplify the numbers so you can drive with confidence.
7. Can I sell or trade my vehicle if I live outside Lafayette? What if I live in Baton Rouge or New Orleans?
Absolutely! We welcome drivers from Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Gonzales, Denham Springs, New Orleans, and everywhere in between. Wherever you’re coming from, bring your vehicle to our Lafayette dealership, and our team will walk you through every step of the process to ensure you have a pleasurable experience!
