Do Your Research

If you’re getting ready to sell your car to a dealership, the first step you’ll want to complete is to conduct your research. There are various sites that can provide you with an estimated value of your ride, such as Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds.

They gather information from vehicles sold in your area and take into account multiple factors on your own car to provide you with an estimated value. You can also check out the Value Your Trade tool on our website. Simply answer a few basic questions about the current condition of your car and we’ll get a firm and fair estimate to you.

Armed with all this knowledge, you can stop by our dealership to discuss the best price to sell your vehicle for. Please keep in mind, every car is different, so value is bound to fluctuate due to a range of factors.

Gather Your Paperwork

With an estimated price in mind, you’re ready to start gathering the necessary documents needed in the sale. For starters, you’ll need a clean title, so the dealership knows you are the sole owner of the ride.

You may also want to round up any service history you have as well as warranty documentation if it’s still active.

Find the Right Dealer

With your paperwork in hand, you’re ready to find the right dealership to sell your car to. There are many different aspects that may make one dealer the better choice over another.

For example, check the online used car inventory before you visit. If you see that there aren’t a lot of trucks in stock and you’re trying to sell your truck, you may have an easier time securing the price you’re looking for.

Dealerships are happy to work with you, so you can benefit from selling your car and they can benefit from building their inventory. So, if you’re not getting the sale price you were looking for, discuss with a team member about what factors are leading to this and how you can negotiate fairly for everyone.
