How to Sell My Car

When you sell your vehicle to a dealer, you will get paid much faster than if you were to sell it privately. Dealerships love buying and adding pre-owned vehicles to their lots because about 70% of annual vehicle sales are used cars. A trip to your dealer to sell a used car won’t take more than an afternoon, and when you leave, you will have a check in your hand. Whereas selling it privately may take weeks or months if you’re able to find a buyer at all.

Dealers will handle all the paperwork for you, so there is no stressing about anything other than signing your name. With a private buyer, you are responsible for all the paperwork, and remember, if you mess it up, you will have to pay and wait for a new title to come in.

When selling your car to a dealer, the vehicle is no longer your responsibility once you sign the paperwork. However, when selling to private parties, you may be liable for any vehicle problems; should the buyer become angry, they may file a lawsuit or even attempt to collect their payment in other unsavory ways. Private buyers may also try to scam you by paying with counterfeit bills, fraudulent third-party checks, or fake money orders.

As mentioned above, when selling your car to a dealer, you drive to the dealership, make the sale, and go home. Unlike when you sell it privately, where you have to deal with the no-shows, waste time posting ads, and emailing prospective buyers just to get money for your car. Plus, the added leave of uncertainty as you don’t know who will actually show up and if they are trustworthy or not.
