How to Sell a Car at a Dealership

Man and Woman Signing Contract
 
Most dealers around Omaha will offer to buy your current car from you through a buyback program or when you come in to buy a new vehicle. This allows you to save money on your next vehicle purchase or take the offer without buying another vehicle. Whichever you choose, you can learn how to sell a car at a dealership and what to expect when you go in to sell with Sid Dillon in Lincoln below.
 

 

How Does Selling Your Car to a Dealership Work? 

So, how does selling your car to a dealership work exactly? Selling your car to a Lincoln dealership is an easy process: 

  • Clean Up Your Car: Having your car washed and detailed and replacing minor parts like windshield wipers or floor mats is a great way to increase the value of your vehicle before you bring it to a dealership around Fremont. 
  • 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 vehicle’s value and make it more appealing to dealerships. 
  • Have Your Car’s Title on Hand: Having your vehicle’s title ready when you sell it saves time on the dealer’s end and gets 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 Lincoln dealerships will buy it regardless of their inventory or the car’s initial condition. However, if you have an older model car, you may find it easier to sell it at a used car dealership instead.
