Sell My Car
Why Sell to Our Dealership?
When it comes to selling your vehicle, it generally pays off to sell it to a dealership. There are many reasons for this, although really, it's quite simple as to why.
Firstly is the value that you'll receive for your used car. We always strive to provide top dollar for your trade-in or sale. When selling on the private market, this isn't always the case. You, as the seller, are looking for top dollar, and the buyer is always looking for the best possible deal. Thus, there is a significant conflict of interest. This ultimately means that you'll have to either seek out other buyers or haggle with the buyer with the greatest potential to come close to the price you're seeking out.
In both scenarios, though, this means that you're still losing something and that something you're losing out on is priceless––time. The more buyers you speak to, and the more you haggle with any potential buyers, the more time you lose. Selling to a dealership such as ours ensures you'll be getting top dollar for your car since we have significantly more working capital than any private buyer. It also means the entire process will be very efficient and streamlined, saving you time.
Additionally, we have a professional and knowledgeable staff. All of the team members at Londonderry CDJR are true professionals in the automotive industry, which will make the process of selling your used car a breeze. They will be more than capable of answering all of your questions in a quick and efficient manner and making the entire process of selling your car stress-free.
Selling your car to us will be a breeze from start to finish. It will also be a hassle-free experience. Again, we are here to ensure you get top dollar for the car that you're selling. Not only will we do everything possible to ensure that, but we'll treat you as part of our family, making your visit stressless and comfortable. We'll handle the paperwork and be completely transparent and open with our communication throughout the process so you can have a clear mind while we take care of you.
There are also several other reasons why selling your used car to our dealership can be a great option. Most notable is that there will be a simple transaction, accurate and quick professional appraisals, and prompt payment.
Our dealership can ensure ease of transaction because we have a streamlined process for buying and selling used vehicles. Furthermore, with the amount of experience we have buying cars, we can further streamline the process from the point of view of the physical work being done––everyone here is quick and efficient at their job.
We can also get you a prompt payment. Our dealership has the resources to make immediate payments for your used vehicle, allowing you to walk away with cash in hand or trade in your car for a new one just as quickly. Again, this is not only due to our resources and working capital but also the incredibly knowledgeable staff working at our dealership. This is possible because of our rapid and accurate appraisers, who can quickly get you an accurate value for your vehicle, often while we're already working on other tasks in the backend to further expedite your visit.
What You Should Do Before Selling
Before selling your car, there are several things you should do to assist in ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. First, please make sure to clean the car. A clean car makes a good impression and can increase its value. Make sure to thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the vehicle. We know that it is difficult to keep a car as good as new after you've had it for quite some time (especially if you have a family or use it as a vehicle for work). Still, some things can be done to prevent it from having many blemishes from our perspective as the prospective buyer.
For instance, make sure that none of the seats have major stains, and the car is vacuumed and doesn't have any foul odours. When it comes to the exterior, ensuring that it isn't dirty, and preferably, that any light blemishes on the vehicle are buffed out, are all simple things that can make the car far more aesthetically appealing and thus more worthy of an increased value.
Another easy task that can be done to ensure you get the most money for your vehicle is to make sure that you address any necessary repairs and are completely transparent on any work that may need to be done. Brakes, brake pads, tire rotations, windshield wipers, air filters, and other things that aren't major jobs are easy to put on the back burner. However, they will ensure your car is working properly while you are driving it and that you get the most value for your vehicle when it comes time to sell it.
Get Your Paperwork In Order
When it comes time to sell your used car, you'll need to make sure that you have all your paperwork in order. Most importantly, you will want to ensure that you have the vehicle's registration. This document proves your ownership of the vehicle and must be transferred to the new owner. We cannot buy your car if you do not have a vehicle registration.
You will also need to complete a bill of sale. This is a document that lists the details of the sale, including the date, the price, and the names of the buyer and seller. If you sell to a private party, you will need to create a valid bill of sale, but if you sell to us, we will handle this paperwork for you. All you will need to do is sign it.
Finally, it is good to have up-to-date and accurate maintenance records. While these are not necessary, a record of all maintenance and repairs performed on the vehicle can be used to demonstrate your car's history and overall value.
It's important that all of these documents are in order before selling your used car. Having the correct paperwork will help ensure a smooth and stress-free transaction for both you and us here at the dealership.
