Why Sell Your Car to a Dealership?

Selling your car to someone can often be a hassle. Worrying about whom you're selling to, whether you can agree upon a price, how long the negotiation will take, how the payment will be made, whether they will back out at the last moment, and whether the buyer will accept the sale as-is are constant concerns. However, it doesn't have to be this way.

There is an easier way to sell your car and it comes from selling it to a car dealership.

Selling your car to a dealership like Glockner Honda can be uncomplicated, effortless, and hassle-free. So, why should you sell your vehicle to a dealership? Read on.

Hassle-Free Transaction

Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it's a straightforward, hassle-free way to sell your used car. You don't have to search aimlessly for a buyer. You don't have to deal with endless people trying to take advantage of you, who are not serious about the purchase or have less-than-honest intentions.

Car dealerships are experts at evaluating used car values. They understand your car's make, model, and reputation and can provide you with fair market value. Most importantly, the sale is final. There is no backing out, no second-guessing the transaction, and no trying to return the car; transactions are fast, safe, easy, and immediate.

One-Time Inspection

One of the most significant issues with selling a used car to someone is the number of times your vehicle must be inspected. Dealing with multiple potential buyers only exacerbates this issue. There's a never-ending discussion and back-and-forth about whose mechanic or garage will perform the inspection. This is when problems seem to be haphazardly brought up about the car you never experienced before.

Dealing with a car dealership puts all these issues in the rearview mirror. They have trained technicians and mechanics that can perform a thorough and complete inspection.

No Paperwork

Selling your car yourself to someone is a labor-intensive and time-consuming affair. You must spend an inordinate amount of time placing the ad, managing multiple inquiries, texting, answering calls, and scheduling your car for test drives and inspections.  

When you finally manage to sell your car, all kinds of paperwork and documentation are involved in transferring ownership. Most people are unaware of how much time and effort this takes.

Glockner Honda's process is streamlined; selling your car to a car dealership couldn't be easier as all the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) paperwork, documents, transactions, and vehicle identification number (VIN) and car registration are handled by a proactive, experienced, and professional team.

Time is Money

The adage "time is money" could not be more appropriate. Spending all this time selling a car to someone can be a costly affair. This is your time, and you alone can apply a dollar value to that time. However, when you think about how long it takes to sell your car to someone, it's easy to question whether you indeed come out on top.

Aside from just negotiating the price of the car, there's the never-ending need to agree upon who pays for an inspection. Then, immediately after that inspection, you must haggle and negotiate even further once the potential buyer uses the inspection results to knock the price down even further.

You'll also save money and time by not having to spruce up your used car to make it presentable to a new buyer. With a dealership, there's no need for reconditioning or detailing. You won't have to wash the interior, vacuum, and clean the upholstery, or wax your car. The dealership will take care of that headache for you.

Selling your car to a dealership is instantaneous. You go in once, agree upon a price, and then leave or apply that value toward a newer car. Simple. Easy. Straightforward.

Easier Deal-Making, Financing, and a Tax Break

Are you looking to trade your used car as a down payment towards a newer, upgraded model? Glockner Honda has multiple approaches to exchanging your used car and easy-to-apply-for financing options. A dealership can take several different methods to simplify the purchase process.

Several dealerships are not only able to assess a trade-in value for your used car, but they'll also pay off the remaining amount owing on the car while helping you finance the new upgrade. They have multiple innovative approaches for trade-ins.

There's also the benefit of securing a tax break. You must pay a sales tax on the total purchase price whenever you purchase a new car. However, with a trade-in, that sales tax will be lower because the trade-in's value will go towards the new car, thereby reducing the total purchase price and lowering the tax you pay.
