Why trade in with
Merlin Lincoln
Get more money

Merlin Lincoln is part of Go Auto, which has 50+ dealerships so we can sell from and the largest customer database of buyers looking for specific vehicles - 200,000 people visit GoAuto.ca every month.
Fast, free car appraisal
Our appraisal process is free, and you're under no obligation to take our offer once we present it to you. Best of all, we won't waste your time. In other words, you have nothing to lose. Even if you were planning to sell to someone else, we're happy to give you a second opinion.
Get paid fast
If you don't want to put your trade-in money towards another vehicle, we can get you cash the same day or within 24 hours if you accept our offer later in the day. Avoid the hassle of a private sale and waiting on payment.
You don’t need to trade
We'll buy your vehicle even if you don't want to buy something new from our dealership. We're just looking for pre-owned vehicles. We're not looking to rope you into a vehicle you don't want to buy.
