Selling vs. Trading in Your Car

Selling and trading in your vehicle are similar processes, but the end result is pretty different.

When you sell your vehicle, you’re selling a car and making some money. You’ll walk away with a check or cash. Your vehicle will belong to the dealership, and they will most likely sell it to someone else.

If you’re trading in your vehicle, you’re looking for a new one, too. The money you make from trading in your car goes towards your next one. Think of it as a part of your down payment. You’ll essentially save a little bit of money on your next ride.

How to Sell or Trade Your Car

The first step for selling or trading in your car is the same. You’ll want to know how much your vehicle is worth. You can use tools like our value your trade tool to find out how much it’s worth. Other websites have similar tools, so you can get a range of possible offers.

When you arrive at the dealership to sell your car, someone from our team will come out to take a look. We’ll examine its condition and maybe take it for a test drive before making an offer. If you accept, you’ll have some paperwork to do, and then you can head home.

If you’re trading in your vehicle, you’re also shopping for your next car to buy or lease. Once you’ve found your next ride, our team will start the trade-in process. We will take a look, check the condition, and make an offer. The paperwork will most likely be taken care of when you do your paperwork for the new vehicle.

How to Boost Your Car’s Value

There are a few things you can do to help boost your car’s value before you sell or trade it in. The first thing to consider is the time of year. Around the holidays or right at the beginning of the new year, you might get more for your car. Dealers are looking to increase their supply after sales.

Cleaning your vehicle also helps with showing how well you take care of your vehicle. A car that is taken care of and looks nice is likely in better condition than one that doesn’t.

Making minor repairs, like fixing dents, can also help improve your vehicle’s value. If you have any open recalls, completing those can do the same. Recalls are typically free to complete and show that you take good care of your car.
