Selling Your Car Vs. Trading In

There are many factors to consider if you're deciding whether to trade in your car or sell it directly.

Trading-in your car to a dealership is the simpler choice. But you may not get as much money from this option. Unlike selling the car directly to a private buyer who will end up using the vehicle, car dealerships typically plan to turn around and sell the car for as much of a profit as they can. These departments offer minimal trade-in value on your used vehicle before selling it at a much higher value. You will probably have to haggle with an experienced salesperson over the trade-in value to get your best price.

If you don’t mind doing a bit of the work yourself, finding a buyer directly and selling your car yourself is also an option. Some legwork will be involved with selling your car directly, including placing ads, answering phone or email inquiries, dealing with strangers, and giving test drives.

If both options seem daunting, we offer you another option. You obviously want to get the most value out of your vehicle but may not want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell it yourself, so we make the process very simple! Don't believe us?
