Is it possible to buy back a sold premium tank? New Trade-in WoT system
We will not be mistaken if we say that every tanker has premium tanks, interest in which has cooled over time, or even disappeared completely. It seems to be sitting idle in the Hangar, but it’s a pity to sell it. And in the meantime, no, no, and the thought of trying a new premium technique will slip through, but there simply isn’t enough in-game gold for it.
And here the well-known rade-in system comes to the aid of players, but already in tanks: until January 23, 6:00 (Moscow time), you will be able to purchase certain new premium tanks, turning in unused/uninteresting ones for credit. Interesting? We answer in order!

Please note: a surrendered tank is accepted for half of its cost. Rounding goes up.
Example: you want a new premium tank for 10,000. In exchange, you want to hand over a car that costs 5,000 in its pure form. According to the trade-in mechanism, the old tank will be counted for 2500, and you will pay an additional 7500 for the new tank. The total discount on a new tank in this example will be 2500.
Discount promotions taking place in the game affect the cost of the tank being traded in and purchased - this will be clearly displayed in the exchange window.
As for the exchange rules described in the image above, the system itself will tell you which tanks can be traded in, everything is as simple as possible. The next block is about this.
How to exchange tanks?
You can find out which premium tank you want to buy via trade-in in three places in the game:
Depending on the amount of gold on your account, a tank available for exchange can be displayed in two ways:
Once you have decided, right-click on the tank and select Buy or Exchange.
- By default, the list of cars for rent is sorted by the size of the “discount” from largest to smallest.
- The list also includes tanks that are currently unavailable for exchange (in battle, not repaired, in formation). When you click on them, a corresponding message will appear in the Notification Center.
After selecting a tank for exchange, two display options are possible: if the vehicle being purchased is without a discount (Fig. 1) and at a discount (Fig. 2).
On the exchange screen, you can perform the usual actions: buy a slot, purchase basic ammunition, train the crew. But if you don’t want to, you don’t have to purchase a slot - it remains from the tank that was traded in. Great savings! In addition, even non-removable equipment on a surrendered tank can be removed free of charge.
Enter the required amount in gold in the lower field, click “Exchange”, and the system again shows an additional window in which it once again tells what will happen: the surrendered tank will be written off, the crew will go to the Barracks, equipment and shells will go to the Warehouse.
Confirm your consent, the gold will be debited from your account - and a new tank will be in your Garage.
What you need to know and remember
Please read this list carefully to minimize possible misunderstandings of the trade-in system:
- The promotion is valid for premium tanks from tiers VI to VIII from January 12 6:00 (Moscow time) By January 23 6:00 (Moscow time).
- You can only turn in tanks of the same or lower level than the one you are buying (but not lower than VI).
- The exchange takes place on a 1 to 1 basis.
- There are discounts on prices: if there is a discount on a delivered tank, the savings will be less!
- The shells, equipment and equipment on the surrendered tank are unloaded free of charge into the Warehouse.
- Camouflage, emblems and inscriptions are tied to a specific tank, so if you sell (or in this case exchange) this tank, they remain in the Warehouse. You will be able to use them in the future only if you purchase this tank again.
- The crew of the surrendered tank disembarks at the Barracks. If there are no free beds there, there will be no exchange!
- You cannot restore a surrendered tank using credits.
- There is no need to purchase a new slot for the tank you are purchasing.
- The exchange occurs only when the operation is reconfirmed (where it is described what will happen to the tank) - before this, the exchange can be absolutely calmly interrupted, and nothing will happen.
Happy shopping and happy playing!

Surely you have long-forgotten premium tanks. But you want to try new premium equipment, but you don’t have enough game gold. In such situations, the new trade-in system will help us. With its help, until 01/23/2017 6:00 a.m. (Moscow time), you can hand over your old premium equipment and purchase a new one.
Those premium tanks that have reached levels 6-8 are subject to exchange, and only those of the lowest or equal level with the one being purchased. No more than half of its cost is charged for a tank, rounded up. The cost will depend on the discount promotions taking place in the game, which will be displayed in the exchange window.
We suggest studying this list for a better understanding of the trade-in system:
- The exchange principle is “1 to 1”.
- The savings are smaller if you have a discount on the tank you trade in.
- Various equipment and gear are unloaded free of charge.
- Camouflage, emblems and inscriptions that are attached to the tank upon sale (upon exchange) remain in the warehouse, which you can use if you purchase this tank.
- The crew of the tank that you are handing over returns to the barracks. If there are no free cells, the exchange will not take place.
- If the tank is surrendered, it cannot be restored for credit.
- There is no need to purchase a new slot for the tank you are purchasing.
- When exchanging, you will need to reconfirm the transaction.
On January 12, Wargaming released micropatch 9.17.02, in which a new thing appeared for players like Trade-in. The system is in tanks for the first time and will be available from January 12 to January 23, 6:00 (Moscow time). We will try to explain in detail what it is and how to use it.
What is Trade-In in World of Tanks
Many tankers have premium vehicles sitting in their hangars collecting dust, which were either bought out of stupidity, got tired of them, or, due to the changes made, became uncomfortable for the game. Our beloved company meets such people and offers to exchange this tank for half of its value in gold equivalent, which will be taken into account when purchasing a new premium.For example, it works like this: You are going to purchase a T34, the cost of which is 12 000 , and you have Lowe in your hangar. So you can have a lion exchange for 6250 gold, add to this the missing amount (in our case 5750) and purchase T34. Simply put, you sell your premium tank for half its price, but you are obligated to buy a new one.
Everything seems clear, but there are some nuances here:
You can only return a premium tank of an equal or lower level compared to the one you are buying.
Not all cars can be rented/purchased
