A Song I Wrote About Trading in a Car

A Song I Wrote About Trading in a Car

You may need some convincing that it’s a good idea to pursue a new car in exchange for your older car. Of course, it can be tough to commit, and it’s especially hard to find a solid trade-in value.

Whenever I need to be convinced about something, I refer to fake song lyrics. That’s what I’ve provided for you below. I also included this instrumental track so you can sing along at home. Why do I choose this specific track? Because the computer-generated sounds make my ears tingle, and who doesn’t enjoy watching generic clips of American flags?

[Sing to the tune of “American Pie” by Don McLean]

A long, long time ago

I can still remember

How my old car used

to freaking roar.

And I knew if I had my chance,

And I figured out my finance.

I’d snag another new car, that’s for sure

But that monthly fee was way too much.

I couldn’t afford a car that lush.

Bad news from the dealer.

But I wanted that wheeler.

I can’t remember if I cried,

But I know my eyes got very wide.

And something touched me deep inside

The day, I noticed trade-in…

So, hi, hi, my new car sales guy

That trade option that you offer is too good to pass by.

And the money saved will make me feel good inside.

So should I sign here on this dotted line?

Should I sign here on this dotted line?

[tempo picks up]

Have you driven a new car?

The unmatched power is the star.

And that’s not the greatest part.

We all like safety technol-gies.

New cars get you through any squeeze

And keeps all the occupants in one part.

Well, I know that you love lux-ry

Well the new cars fulfill all your needs

It serves as your chauff-eur

There’s even heated drink holders!

And don’t get me started about the style

The sexiest cars you’ve seen in a while

You can improve your lifestyle

The day, you opt to trade in…

You’ll be saying

Hi, hi, my new car sales guy

That trade option that you offer is too good to pass by.

And the money saved will make me feel good inside.

So should I sign here on this dotted line?

Should I sign here on this dotted line?

You may wonder how this all works out

I’ll help cut down on all of that doubt,

And be your singing trade-in guide

Trading a car will save you money,

The money saved will make you feel money

With monthly payments that you can stick to

There are other finance benefits

That go with buying this car with glitz

I’d tell you if there’s time

And it’s real hard to rhyme

There’s nothing else here we should discuss

There’s nothing that can cause a fuss

But here comes the final chorus

To sing about trade-ins…

And we’re all singing

Hi, hi, my new car sales guy

That trade option that you offer is too good to pass by.

And the money saved will make me feel good inside.

So should I sign here on this dotted line?
