Buying a New Used Car? Here's How To Sell Your Older One

When it's time to buy a used car, it's also time to figure out what you're going to do with your current vehicle.

That's what trade-ins are all about.

It can be tempting to try to sell your older car to a private party. We believe you're better off, though, trading it in. Here's why.

When you trade in your older car for the one you're purchasing, you turn two transactions into one. We may need to fill out separate paperwork for each car. However, by working with us, you may be able to eliminate a lot of the inconvenience involved in selling to a private party.

Our goal is for you to walk away a happy customer who will come back next time you need a car. That means we have every incentive to buy your car from you at the highest price we can afford. Sure, we need to buy it at a price that makes sense for us as a business, but we'll do everything we can to ensure you're satisfied with our offer.

When you sell your car to a private party, there can be a lot of uncertainty involved: the buyer may want to inspect it, and there may be other issues with the process.

When you trade your car in with us as part of the process of buying your used car, you won't have to deal with any of that. Sure, we'll take into account the value of your car when we offer you a trade-in price; but we will always do what we can to offer you a fair price for it.

Some people feel they get a better deal when they sell their older car privately. But we want it as a trade-in; so when you bring it in for us, we'll do everything we can to make sure the entire transaction, including the trade-in, is a win/win.
