Ready to move to a new vehicle? That means you might just be wondering how to sell a car at a dealership. Most will buy your current vehicle and either give you cash or put that value towards your next model. Trading up is quick and simple, and it saves you the hassle of finding private sellers across Buford and the stress that comes with taking care of all the paperwork yourself.
So, how does selling your car to a dealership work? We’ve put together a quick post covering everything you need to know, so read on to find out.

Preparing to Sell Your Car at a Dealership

Whether you’re selling a sedan in Alpharetta or an SUV in Johns Creek, there are a few things you’ll want to do first. We suggest:

• Cleaning the vehicle inside and out.
• Making any small repairs that could increase the selling price.
• Put together a maintenance record.
• List any upgraded features and accessories.
• Get the title.
• Pick the right dealership.

You should also research the value of your vehicle by checking online tools from sites like Cars.com or Kelley Blue Book. You can even use our own Value Your Trade tool.

Selling Your Car at a Dealership

Now you have all your ducks in a row, you’re ready to move on and sell. Here’s a basic checklist to follow:

• Book an Appointment: While you can come in at any time, it’s usually better to make an appointment in advance.
• Find a Used Car Manager: They’ll help you put together the paperwork and run a vehicle history report.
• Get Your Vehicle Inspected: The condition, quality, and mechanical function of your vehicle will be checked.

You’ll then get an offer from the dealership. You can either accept, negotiate, or go to another dealership if you think you’ll get a better deal.
