So is it a qualified Like-Kind Exchange or not?


No, after tax reform (the TCJA), like-kind exchange treatment (Section 1031) is only available for real property. 

 

See https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/like-kind-exchanges-real-estate-tax-ti...

 

You have to treat the trade-in as a sale and report it as such on your return and then enter the new car as a new asset in TurboTax.
