You love your old car. It’s been with you for family trips to Mount Abu, daily commutes along S.G. Highway, and countless late-night food runs.

But let’s be real—it’s starting to show its age. Maybe the AC isn’t cooling like it used to in the Ahmedabad heat. Maybe your family has grown, and that hatchback feels cramped. Or maybe you just want the safety features of a newer SUV.

You want to buy a newer car, but you are stuck with the old one.

This is where Car Exchange comes in. It is the fastest way to upgrade without the headache of managing two transactions separately.

If you are looking for car exchange in Ahmedabad or simply want to buy and sell cars in Ahmedabad in one smooth motion, here is exactly how the process works at Kamdhenu Cars.

1. The “One-Key” Swap (Why Exchange?)

The traditional way of upgrading is painful:

1. List old car online.
2. Wait for buyers.
3. Haggle for weeks.
4. Finally sell it.
5. Stay without a car for days (or weeks) while you shop for a new one.

The Exchange Way:

You drive into our showroom in your old car. You hand over the keys. You sign a few papers. You drive out in your new (pre-owned) upgrade.

There is zero waiting period. You are never left stranded without a vehicle.

2. The “Down Payment” Magic

Many of our customers think they need a huge pile of cash to upgrade.

Example: You want to buy a 2021 Kia Seltos listed at ₹12 Lakhs.

You currently own a 2016 Swift Dzire.

When you bring your Dzire to us for an exchange, let’s say we value it at ₹4.5 Lakhs.

That ₹4.5 Lakhs becomes your instant down payment.

Instead of arranging ₹12 Lakhs, you only need to finance the remaining ₹7.5 Lakhs. This lowers your loan amount, lowers your EMI, and often gets you a better interest rate because your “Loan-to-Value” ratio is healthy.

3. “But My Old Car Has a Loan!” (The Form 35 Solution)

This is the most common question we get: “Can I exchange my car if I’m still paying EMIs on it?”

Yes, you can.

Here is how we handle it at Kamdhenu:

1. Valuation: We value your car at, say, ₹5 Lakhs.
2. Loan Check: We check with your bank. You still owe ₹2 Lakhs on the loan.
3. The Settlement: We pay ₹2 Lakhs directly to the bank to close your loan. We get the NOC and Form 35 (Hypothecation Termination).
4. The Balance: The remaining ₹3 Lakhs (₹5L Value – ₹2L Loan) is credited to you as a down payment for your next car.

We handle the bank foreclosure process for you. You don’t need to run around clearing debts before visiting us.

4. The Paperwork: Form 29 & 30 (Gujarat RTO Rules)

In Gujarat, the RTO is strict about ownership transfer chains. When you exchange your car, you aren’t just “giving” it to us; you are legally transferring it.

We require you to sign:

• Form 29 (Notice of Transfer): This tells the RTO you have sold the vehicle.
• Form 30 (Report of Transfer): This actually transfers the ownership.
• Delivery Note: This is your safety net. It proves the date and time you handed over the car to Kamdhenu Cars.

Why this matters:

If you sell to a private party and they delay submitting these forms, you are liable for their traffic challans. When you exchange with a registered dealership like ours, we execute these forms immediately upon the sale of the unit, protecting you legally.

5. The “Exchange Bonus” Myth vs. Reality

You will see ads from new car showrooms promising “₹50,000 Exchange Bonus!”

Be careful. Often, they will undervalue your old car by ₹40,000 and then give you a ₹50,000 bonus. The net benefit is zero.

At Kamdhenu Cars, we don’t play the “Bonus” game. We play the “Market Value” game.

We give you the highest possible transparent price for your old car based on its condition, and a fair price for the car you are buying.

Pro Tip: If you have maintained your old car at an authorized service center, bring those records! A well-documented service history can increase your exchange value by ₹10,000–₹20,000 instantly.
