Most drivers buy a new car to replace an existing vehicle that
they’ve outgrown in size or style. You have options regarding what to do with
the current car in your garage. A vehicle trade-in is a
great idea that saves you both time and money. Here are three reasons to trade
in your car at a dealership.
1. Save Time
By trading in your vehicle, you acquire a new car and part
with your old one in a single dealership visit, thereby killing two birds with
one stone. By selling to a private buyer, you have to list your car for sale,
wait for a response, set up an appointment, etc. The sale may go smoothly
within a few days or can take upwards of weeks or even months. There’s just no
telling how long it’ll take.
2. Sell the Car for What It’s Worth
By trading your car in at the dealership, the car is sold
according to the Kelley Blue Book value. Of
course, factors like overall condition are considered as well. Even if you sell
to a private buyer at the KBB value, most buyers will try to negotiate a lower
price. This either results in you conceding, or you having to start the process
over with another potential buyer.
3. Peace of Mind
There’s a level of reassurance when trading in your vehicle.
If selling to a private buyer, the buyer may later contact you complaining of
an issue with the car and demanding repair costs come out of your pocket. It
happens more often than you think.
Whether you’re interested in the Honda Civic or the Honda Pilot, a vehicle trade-in is a smart move that saves you time, money, and hassle.
