Value Your Trade
Free Trade-In Appraisal
Your Trade Is Worth More on an Island
Hawaii's auction supply is thin, so we buy most of our inventory off the mainland and ship it across the Pacific. A clean local trade skips all that — which means real money in your pocket. Tell us what you're driving and our sales team will get back to you with a number. No cost, no obligation, no pressure.
Get Your Free Appraisal
Fill out the form below with your vehicle's details — year, make, model, mileage, and condition. Our sales department will review it and contact you shortly with your trade-in value. Takes about two minutes, and the estimate is yours whether you buy from us or not.
Why Choice Automotive Pays Real Money for Trades
Most of our 190–200 vehicles come from auctions in California, Washington, and Nevada — because Hawaii simply doesn't have enough local supply. Every truck or Tacoma we ship over costs us freight, time, and salt air on the barge. Your trade already lives here. That's an advantage, and we price it like one.
Trucks, Tacomas & 4Runners are gold here. If you're driving one, we want to talk. Lifted trucks especially.
Teslas and hybrids move fast on Oahu. Island driving ranges and gas prices make EVs an easy resale for us — and a strong offer for you.
PCSing off-island? Military families rotating out of Oahu trade with us all the time. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the move.
Choice Automotive — 525 North King Street, Honolulu. The largest selection of quality used vehicles in town, and your trade helps us keep it that way.
How the Appraisal Works
Tell us about your car
Year, make, model, mileage, and honest condition. Dings and scratches are fine — we've seen worse from the H-1 merge.
We work up your value
Our team checks real island market data — not mainland book values — and contacts you shortly with a number that reflects what your vehicle is actually worth in Hawaii.
Trade, sell, or walk away
Roll the value into your next vehicle, sell to us outright, or say no thanks. The appraisal is free and there's zero obligation either way.
Put Your Trade Toward Your Next Ride
A strong trade value can knock hundreds off your monthly payment. Pair it with our financing team — we work with credit scores in the low 600s every day — and shop nearly 200 vehicles on the lot right now. Neighbors on Maui, the Big Island, or Kauai: your appraisal counts too, and inter-island shipping is on us.
