How Does Selling Your Car to a Dealership Work?

Before you drive down from Fort Lee or Jersey City, it’s a good idea to prepare for the big day. Here are some tips and tricks to put your best foot forward:

1. Prepare Your Car: Clean your car and replace any small parts, like windshield wipers and burnt bulbs, to help boost the value. This is also a good time to write down all the benefits of your car, like its extra features and accessories, and make sure you have the title. (Trading in a financed car? We’ll acquire the title from your lender.)
2. Estimate Your Value: What price can you expect when you sell your Land Rover? Use sites like Cars.com and Kelley Blue Book, or use our Value Your Trade service to find out. While this isn’t a firm offer, these estimates will help you negotiate later.
3. Make Your Appointment: Set an appointment in advance to save time at the dealership. We’ll make sure all the paperwork is ready to go when you walk through the door.
4. Meet the Manager: A Used Car Manager or salesperson will take your information, run a vehicle history report, and take your car to inspection. The inspection will cover everything from mechanical issues to overall quality.
5. Get Your Offer: Once you’ve got the offer in hand, you can either accept it or negotiate using your online estimates.

Why Should You Sell Your Land Rover at a Dealership?

When you sell your vehicle, you can choose to sell on the private market or use a dealership. Selling to a dealership is the most convenient for most drivers, and there are many good reasons why you should consider it.

• Save Time & Avoid Hassles: Want to avoid the hassle of posting ads, setting up test drives, and dealing with no-shows? Then selling to a dealership is the perfect option.
• Lower Your New Car Price: If you want to buy a new vehicle after you sell your old car, you have the opportunity to use your old car’s value toward the price of your new car. That can help you reduce your down payment or monthly fees significantly.
• Save on Your Taxes: If you do buy a new car at Land Rover Paramus, you will only pay the sales tax on the difference between the trade-in value and the cost of your new car.
