Many people who are looking for cash ponder whether they should trade in or sell car in Phoenix, AZ. There are two main reasons that people choose trading in a vehicle to a dealership rather than selling it themselves.
Reason #1 A Car Trade In Equals More Money for the Vehicle
Generally the best way to receive cash for a vehicle is to go through a reputable car dealership, such as Earnhardt Ford. We offer a valuation tool that can assist you with determining how much your vehicle will be worth as a trade in. Using our valuation tool will help you easily start your trade in process by providing you with an actual offer on your vehicle. It takes all the guesswork out of selling it and puts money in your hand.
By the way, Earnhardt Ford does not ask that you buy from us. We actually want to buy your car because it gives us more used cars to sell. So rest assured, we are ready to make a good deal on your old car.
Reason #2: Selling your vehicle privately often undervalues your car investment
On the other hand, selling a car yourself will take time if you want to receive the most money for your vehicle. If you can wait, then you could get more, but waiting is definitely the name of the game. Often sellers give in to a friend or family member, selling their car for less than its worth.
Private sales tend to have one of two outcomes. They may be a fast sale with the seller walking away with less money than the car is worth. This may be due to money pressures or to family or friend pressure for a lower price.
Or, when the seller takes the time to offer the car for its true value, this can take time to find a buyer who is willing to pay what the vehicle is worth. This can be a long process and still may not result in the price the seller wants. These are reasons that many people have realized that private selling is not always worth the hassle.
Smart Shortcuts to Selling Your Vehicle
Even if you don’t want to sell it to a dealership, you will want to establish a good idea of your car’s trade in value before you list the car for sale. Understanding the value of your vehicle will provide leverage for you when you are negotiating a price for your vehicle. You can do that with a trade in offer from Earnhardt Ford.
Our offers are based on the Kelley Blue Book value of your car, SUV or truck. It is a firm offer and it’s valid for seven days. If you want to get the most from selling a vehicle, you definitely need to know how much that offer is.
Frankly, this is why trading a vehicle into a reputable new car dealership is the best option for many sellers. It reduces the amount of negotiating and time that they will need to use before selling their vehicle.
Earnhardt Ford is seeking to purchase vehicles at this time and we encourage you to use our free Kelley Blue Book valuation tool. You will have a firm offer that you can use. That’s a fair price and cash in hand without any of the hassle of a private sale.
