AC Motors launched its car trade-in program dubbed Trade+. It provides customers with a relatively fast turnaround time, as well as a wide selection of vehicles from any of the brands sold by the company.
AC Motor's Trade+ in a nutshell
Sold under AC Motors in the Philippine market are car models from Honda, Volkswagen, Kia, and Maxus. So there’s quite a variety of cars to choose from.
AC Motors launched the said program with the goal of providing a new, faster alternative to existing car trade-in programs. The company also said that while many budget-conscious car buyers lean towards used cars, many will still aspire to buy a brand-new car.
This is where the Trade+ program steps in. It intends to provide the ability for consumers to utilize the value of their old car as partial payment for a brand-new one.
Under the Trade+ system, a full vehicle inspection is performed within 48 hours. After which, a trade-in price can then be negotiated via the Trade+ system. Determining the proper market value of a traded-in vehicle is made easy via an automated system that gets data from multiple online sources.

Once a favorable price is found, the customer may then pick their car model of choice to finalize the trade-in. Customers who acquired brand-new cars via Trade+ will also get to enjoy the company’s customer support services, warranties, and after-sales services.
AC Motor’s Trade+ also offers a hybrid traditional vehicle auction, as well as an online vehicle auction. Of note, the Trade+ program accepts cars from any other brand, not just those under AC Motors.
This new trade-in program also allows individuals to use the value of the car they are trading in as equity for a brand-new car. Alternatively, there's also the option of just straight up selling their car to AC Motors via the said program.
