Trading In Your Car Vs. Selling It: Which Is Better?
First, what’s the difference between trading in your car vs. selling it. One thing is true about selling your car to a private buyer, you can get more from the sale. The only thing is, you’ll likely deal with someone unfamiliar with the sales process, so hassles and issues may to arise (and often do).
Combine that with the fact that you’ll be doing everything yourself regarding processing the sale and the headache and time spent can quickly add up and become more than it’s worth. Plus, there’s a good chance you might not get the most for your vehicle in the first place depending on whether the buyers you find are willing to pay a fair price or try to stiff you.
When you go with a dealership, however, you’re dealing with professionals who handle car sales every single day. At BMW of Springfield, we know how to get you the max value for your trade-in and will even buy your vehicle from you outright without needing to trade it in for another vehicle. Not only will you know you’re getting the most for your vehicle, but we take everything off your plate as well.
How The Trade-In Process Works
Now that you know a little bit more about the difference between trading in or selling to a dealership vs. selling to a private buyer, let’s talk about the trade-in process. When you trade in your vehicle, the first thing that will happen is the inspection.
Before you go into the dealership, though, it can be helpful to get a rough assessment of the value of your vehicle with an online tool such as Kelley Blue Book. Keep in mind that this is a rough guesstimate, because your specific vehicle might have minor damages or slightly different features than the version you selected online. Regardless, it is useful to have a basic idea of what you can expect to get for your vehicle before you visit the dealership.
You can get your vehicle appraised by any dealer before you visit a dealership, but they’ll do this for you so it can often be easier just to get it all done at the same time. At BMW of Springfield, we’ll complete a full appraisal of your vehicle to help you get the most for your vehicle.
Once your vehicle has been appraised, it’s time to close the deal. But before the deal is done, you’ll have the chance to review the appraisal amount and make a final decision about what you’d like to do.
