Who you're dealing with
I'm Braden Holdsworth. I've been buying and selling cars around Indianapolis since I was 16, and I study finance at IU's Kelley School of Business. I started Beat Your Trade-In because dealers routinely lowball trade-ins, and most people take it because selling privately is a hassle.
When you text the number on this site, you're texting me, not a call center. Beat Your Trade-In is run by BKH Group LLC, a family-owned Indiana company.

Fair questions
Is this legit?
Yes. We're a local Indianapolis buyer. You never pay us anything, and you get paid before you hand over the keys or sign the title. If something feels off at any point, you walk away.
Why would you pay more than a dealer?
Dealers lowball trade-ins because they need room to resell and pay overhead. We don't run a lot, so we can pay more and still make it work.
What if I still owe money on it?
That's fine. We pay off the lender directly and you get the difference.
What cars do you buy?
2000 or newer, Indiana title in your name (clean or rebuilt), with a written dealer offer from the last 7 days, up to $50,000.
How does the $100 guarantee work?
If we inspect your car and can't beat your dealer's offer by at least $500, we pay you $100 for your time. To qualify: the offer is in writing from a real dealership and dated in the last 7 days, the car we inspect matches the offer (same VIN, mileage and condition), and it's one payout per person and per vehicle. We may call the dealer to confirm the offer. Limited to 10 inspections per day. If we do beat it by $500 or more and you decide not to sell, no $100 is owed.
