Value Your Trade Online near Chicago, IL

Have you been eyeing the newest WRX or Crosstrek that’s available for your purchase at McGrath Evanston Subaru? Whether or not your current car is a Subaru, our dealership will pay top dollar for your trade-in! Learn more about how to barter your car at our store by reading on.

Why Trade In?

While selling your vehicle to a private party can be more profitable than its alternatives, the extra time and effort it requires often nullifies the additional monetary gains you earn. From listing your sale on various online platforms to corresponding with potential buyers, selling your car on your own takes a lot of steps. In contrast, the trade-in process at our dealership is designed to be quick and hassle-free. We make competitive offers based on market rates in and around Chicago and even simplify the paperwork involved, allowing you to be in and out of our location in a couple of hours. The worth of your car can be applied to your down payment when you buy from us as well, making your vehicular transition as smooth as can be.

Value Your Trade

To see how much your current vehicle may fetch, use the Value Your Trade tool available on our website. By inputting some details about your car, such as its make, model, year, and trim level, you can get a sense of whether trading in at our dealership would be a worthy endeavor. For a more accurate estimate of your model’s worth, you can provide its vehicle identification number, also known as the VIN. This series of numbers and letters are unique to each and every vehicle found on Interstate 55 and beyond. You can locate it on important documents like the title and registration, but if you don’t have these on hand, take a look at certain physical spots on your car, like the driver’s side of the dashboard, to track it down.

Preparing Your Vehicle

The condition of a vehicle plays an important role in its appraisal value. In other words, it’s in your best interest to spruce up your car before trading it in at our dealership. If its exterior is covered in dirt from your recent trip to Waterfall Glen Forest Reserve, it may be a good idea to give it a wash. Similarly, it’ll be worth it to vacuum the interior, all while making sure to remove personal belongings. Meanwhile, collect important documents like the title, registration, Owner’s Manual, and service records showing that you took good care of your model while it was in your possession. Once it’s all said and done, you’ll be driving off our lot in a brand-new Subaru you’ll be the proud owner of for years to come! Contact us with any questions.

5 Star Service! A couple shout-outs. Jeff helped us get moving on a build sheet and purchase order, and was extremely communicative and friendly! We loved working with him while we waited for our car. Derek helped us finalize the order and all of our information, and did a great job. Ken was fantastic on the day-of walking us through all the information on our new car and having a smile throughout! Really incredible staff, as well as a really incredible car!

Eddie my service guy was exceptional. He originally got a “no” from the warranty company about my coverage, but called them back and talked to a supervisor. He persisted and got my repair covered, as it should be. It said it right there on the contract. He also worked with me on the best price for tires. Eddie was great! My only snafu was in picking up my car (the next morning because there was no courtesy driver available). I paid, then waited 10-15 minutes for my car to be driven up, which it never was. I finally walked around and found it, right outside the garage and tracked down someone to just give me my keys. Clearly, there was a mess up in communicating to someone to get me my car, even though both the cashier and a guy whose attention I was able to get said it should be coming soon.

They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

I bought this 2010 Forrester for my sister 12 years ago. We have taken our car to Evanston Subaru for all our service needs and have always been treated well. I recommend this dealership. It is staffed with good people and competent mechanics. The facility is always clean. This is noticeable. They even wash my car without being asked.. When the service personnel recommend areas needing attention, I trust them for caring for our safety. They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind.

Great. I called first so it would be OK to get my 2018 Subaru Forester towed in because the engine oil light came on, with a message on my dashboard. George told me since I didn't have an appointment it would be worked on the next day. (The towing service was great). They found a quart of oil missing, and some other things to fix. George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind. Then they always fill the tires with air, and give a free carwash before I go. The technicians worked really hard in 104 degree weather. I waited in the waiting area: free coffee, water and a granola bar. Thank you!

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful.

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful. That said, Eric is a cut above — he's just incredible. We recently had to get a good amount of work done on our 2015 Forester which had not been taken in for some time. Eric walked me through several different options for repairs and servicing, all with different price breakdowns, and made sure I understood what each service/repair was and why he recommended it. He also worked with his service manager to get me a great deal by not charging to replace our AC condenser which had stopped working. I had stopped going to this location because we moved and it wasn't as convenient, but after this most recent experience with Eric I will only take my Forester here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
