How Does Selling Your Car to a Dealership Work?

When it comes to knowing how to sell or how to trade-in your car, you’ll need to first make sure you get the most for your vehicle, and that calls for some thorough preparation. Follow these steps to get the most for your vehicle trade below:

• Clean Up Your Car: Having your car washed, detailed, and replacing small parts like windshield wipers or floor mats is a great way to increase the value of your vehicle before you bring it to the dealership.
• Write Down the Benefits Of Your Car: Having a detailed history of the maintenance record of your vehicle, a list of its additional features, and a list of its accessories like extra key fobs or bike mounts will increase the value of your vehicle and make it more appealing to dealerships.
• Have Your Car’s Title on Hand: Having your vehicle’s title ready when you sell it will save time on the dealer’s end and get you your offer faster.
• Research Your Car’s Value: Use tools from Cars.com, Kelley Blue Book, or your local dealership to find the trade-in value of your car. You can use this number to negotiate your price or get an approximate value for what the dealer is willing to buy your car for.
• Pick Your Dealership Wisely: If you have a newer, gently used vehicle then most Hattiesburg dealerships will buy it regardless of their inventory or the car’s initial condition. However, if you have an older model car then you may find it’s easier to sell it at a used car dealership instead.

Steps on How to Sell Your Car to a Dealership
