trade-in credit

Old-for-new discount

Trade-in credit is the value a seller applies toward a new purchase when you surrender an old item.

Car dealerships offer trade-in credit for your current vehicle, reducing what you owe on the new one.

Electronics retailers do the same with phones and game consoles: I got $200 in trade-in credit for my old laptop.
