Why Sell Your Car to a Dealership

It’s hard for consumers to wrap their minds around a traditional car dealer that also purchases vehicles. In the past, dealers like Newton Nissan South only took your old vehicle in trade against the purchase of a new one. It’s a whole new ballgame now, though, and as such, our acquisition team is constantly on the hunt for used vehicles to add to our inventory.

What constitutes a fair market value purchase? Whether you’re the seller or buyer, when you work with Newton Nissan South, you can expect to receive the best possible deal. We don’t believe in muddy processes or ambiguous numbers: instead, you can expect transparency and consistency when you do business with us.

Selling your car to a dealership means cutting out a lot of the red tape. Instead of dealing with a flaky private seller, you’re working with automotive retailing professionals who transact business every day. We know a lot about buying and selling cars, so our processes are streamlined and consistent. Forget the back-and-forth, align with the pros, and save yourself a lot of drama.

It’s a myth that you’ll fetch less cash for your vehicle when you sell it to a dealer like Newton Nissan South. We pay top dollar for many reasons, but mostly because we won’t waste your time. Our goal is to offer the best and final price upfront. The last thing we want is for you to drive all over town trying to uncover the best deal. Trust Newton Nissan South for an excellent offer right out of the gate.

Preparing to Sell Your Vehicle

As you prepare to sell your vehicle, the first and most obvious consideration is what you’ll drive next. If this is your primary vehicle, make sure the day you sell it aligns with the day you plan to acquire a replacement vehicle. Many buyers make the mistake of selling their car and assuming they’ll easily find a replacement with a few hours of shopping. If you’re buying from us, we’ll make it easy. If not, make sure you have a more detailed plan.

When you sell your vehicle to Newton Nissan South, don’t worry about spending lots of money on a thorough detail. Your car’s exterior cleanliness won’t affect the purchase price. That said, turning a filthy car over for sale might conceal its condition, so a quick wash and vacuum make sense. Don’t go overboard, but make sure heavy dirt and trash are removed to ensure the process goes quickly.

We encourage you to check Kelley Blue Book ahead of time to get an idea of what your vehicle is worth. Doing this makes sense because you’ll arrive with a ballpark figure in mind. Be brutally honest when you choose your vehicle’s current condition for a realistic valuation, though, because selecting “excellent” or “like new” when your car has seen better days will only set you up for disappointment.

Most sellers know to remove their personal belongings from the vehicle before selling it, but many forget about personal data. Did you sync your smartphone to the vehicle’s Bluetooth system? Make sure you remove it and check to ensure all your personal information is gone. Also, if privacy is a concern, you might want to delete the onboard navigation’s location history if the vehicle is so equipped.

What Paperwork Will You Need?

As you prepare to sell your car, we recommend taking care of a few loose ends to ensure the transaction goes smoothly; namely, the dreaded paperwork that all states require when vehicles change hands. First, you should have the vehicle’s title in hand. If not, you’ll need to visit the local DMV and order a replacement. This takes time, so checking for the title should be your very first step.

If you still owe money on your vehicle, have all the contact information for the lien holder handy, along with a rough idea of the payoff. Our team is well-versed in working with sellers to direct funds wherever they’re needed to clear the title, so if you’re in doubt, give us a call or stop by so we can help you. Selling a car with a loan or lease is more complex, so don’t stress yourself out by trying to decipher all the steps alone.

Is your vehicle covered by an extended warranty or any aftermarket insurance? Grab the policy paperwork and put it in the glove box if it isn’t there already. In some cases, those warranty products are transferrable and may add to the value of your vehicle. If you recently added a new set of tires or any other equipment to the car, try and locate the receipts to prove date-of-purchase and value. This documentation may also help increase the offer price.

You’ll also need to make sure your vehicle’s registration is current before you can sell it. The registration is similar to the title in that it serves as proof that you’re the legal owner of the vehicle, and typically, only registered owners can sign over the vehicle’s title. Confused? Don’t worry! We invite you to call our acquisition team for more information and specific instructions on paperwork.
