Trade-In & Equity Strategy • One Simple Session
FMYCAR is your neutral trade-in advisor. For a one-time fee of $249, you get a 35–45 minute strategy session that helps you understand your payoff, your real equity, and which trade or sale option actually puts you in the best position — before you say yes to any number.
Many people trade too fast, with no plan for their equity. FMYCAR gives you one clear page: payoff, real equity, tax advantage, and the lines you won’t cross — so you don’t regret the deal later.
Think of this as an equity checkup. In one focused conversation, you and your advisor build a clear plan so you know where you stand, what a fair trade looks like, and when it’s better to sell or wait.
We walk through your payoff, approximate value, and tax advantage so you can see your real equity — not just the numbers the dealer wants you to focus on.
Together we compare what happens if you trade, sell outright, or keep the vehicle a bit longer — in plain language, with simple math you can explain to anyone.
You get a side-by-side way to compare dealer trade numbers, online instant offers, and potential private-party options using the same net-proceeds view.
You leave with a simple written plan that spells out your target numbers, your red lines, and the kind of deal you’re willing to say “yes” to — before you walk into any store.
One avoided upside-down situation, one protected paid-off trade, or one corrected offer can more than cover the cost of this session. The goal is to protect your equity and your future self.
Dealers and buyers are focused on buying your vehicle as cheaply as possible. FMYCAR is focused on making sure you understand your position before you agree to anything.
For a lot of people, the biggest regret isn’t the payment — it’s realizing later what they traded away. This session is designed to prevent that.
This is for people who want to handle the trade part of the deal like a pro — whether they’re trading in at a dealership, getting instant offers online, or considering selling and then buying separately.
If you’re thinking, “I don’t want to get stuck in a bad trade,” this session is built to give you a clear equity plan before you agree to anything.
The next time someone throws out a trade number, you should already know if it fits your plan. That’s what this $249 session is for.
Choose a time that works for you. This appointment is focused on one thing: helping you protect your position before you trade, sell, or roll anything into your next vehicle.
The $249 fee is charged at booking or in a follow-up confirmation. It covers your advisor’s time, the prep work on your vehicle and situation, and the follow-up materials summarizing your plan. One protected equity position can easily be worth more than that — and often much more.
Here are some of the most common questions people ask before they book a trade & equity call with FMYCAR.
Sometimes the number itself improves. Other times, the win is structuring the deal differently, choosing a better offer, or deciding to wait. The goal is to avoid moves that hurt your equity long-term.
You can still benefit from a trade & equity session if you haven’t signed anything. We’ll help you pause, look at the full picture, and decide whether the deal in front of you actually matches your goals.
That’s your choice. Some people like to mention it because it signals that someone is helping them review the math. Others prefer to keep it quiet. Either way, your decision stays yours.
No. FMYCAR does not provide legal appraisals or guaranteed offers. We focus on education, planning, and strategy so you understand your options and can recognize a fair outcome when you see it.
