Sell Your Car

Why Sell Your Car to a Dealership?

Selling your car to a dealership saves you time and energy. In comparison, when you sell your vehicle to a private buyer, you need to advertise the vehicle, communicate and coordinate with potential buyers, schedule test drives, and handle all the paperwork by yourself.

Alternatively, when you sell your vehicle to a dealership, an associate handles all that for you. If you want to shop for another car to replace your current one, you also have the option to trade in your vehicle at the same time.

Then, you can automatically apply the value of your car towards the down payment on your next one, which can result in lower monthly auto loan payments.

Tips for Selling Your Car to a Dealership

With this information in hand, you can decide how you want to proceed-sell or trade in your car. Either way, you'll want to prepare the vehicle ahead of time. To do that, it can be helpful to:

• Remove your personal belongings
• Wipe down surfaces, clean and vacuum the interior
• Wash the exterior and mirrors or run it through a car wash

You may also want to consider fixing minor issues, such as chips or dents, and scheduling any routine maintenance the car may need. Before driving to the dealership for the in-person inspection, remember to bring your keys, auto insurance, service records, registration, title, and driver's license.

To streamline the process, you can call ahead to make an appointment. When you arrive, an associate will be there to go through the appraisal process, make you an offer, and complete any necessary paperwork.
