Steps to Selling Your Car to a Dealership

Step One: Value Your Trade

The first step to selling your car to a dealership is to find out how much your current set of wheels is worth. The value of the car, after all, directly impacts the sale.

How do you value your vehicle? Right on our website, we provide a handy-dandy “value your trade” tool. Find it under our used inventory page and simply:

• Tell us the exact year, make, model, and trim level of your car (e.g. 2018 Chevy Camaro LT)
• Fill in your contact information
• Hit submit and read your report

The number you learn from this trade in calculator is based on real-life market conditions. Once you have the estimated value in mind, you can be ready for the next step.

Step Two: Increase Your Trade-in Value

That number doesn’t have to be final: it’s just an estimate. There are steps you can take to increase the value of your vehicle. Let’s discuss how to boost the trade-in value for your ride.

One of the most important ways to put your best foot forward is to ensure your car is in the best possible condition. Scrub down the outside, vacuum the interior, and present a sparkling clean car to your dealership.

A car that’s in good service condition is more apt to receive a high value than a car that still needs maintenance work. Check on areas that might need maintenance, and in some instances, stop by the service center to make sure everything’s running like a dream.

Step Three: Contact Our Dealership

Now that you have a sparkling car and an idea of where its value stands, it’s time to get to the meat of the project. You can contact us online, by phone, or drop by our office, and we’ll help you get started in selling your car!

Not only can our friendly staff offer to buy your vehicle, but we can also walk you through how to trade in a car. This just means that the money from your old car will go towards the financing of a different model, and you get to leave our lot with a sturdy pair of wheels.
