Ready to sell your car? We know that selling your vehicle can be a stressful experience. At Kine Volkswagen, we have a dedicated team to walk you through the process and put money in your pocket the same day! However, we understand that sometimes sellers want to sell their vehicles privately. This week we wanted to share the benefits of selling your car to dealerships like King VW! 

Did you know that currently, the market is experiencing a shortage of vehicles? This means pre-owned vehicles are in high demand and your current vehicle could be worth even more than you expect, even if you don’t buy from us. If you’re interested in valuing your trade-in, you can do that right on our website, now. 

Save Time/ Get Cash Fast 

• Selling your car to a dealer is the fastest way to get paid. When you take your pre-owned car to a dealership, you can be in and out of the door within a few hours. However, when you sell privately, it could take weeks or even months. 
• Dealerships love buying and adding pre-owned vehicles to their lots because, according to Cox Automotive 2018 Used Car Market Report, about 70% of annual vehicle sales are used cars.

Convenience 

• Selling your vehicle privately can be a hassle. It involves advertising the car, detailing it, arranging times for potential buyers to test-drive the car. You must also do all the bargaining, and there’s always the risk that the buyer will back out at any time.
• When you sell to a dealership you’ll drive into your dealership, make the sale, and go home—how much easier can it get?

It’s Simple

•  Paperwork is a headache – so leave it to the dealership! Dealers will handle all the paperwork for you and the DMV, so you won’t have to worry about anything other than the price and signing your name. With a third party or private buyer, you’ll have to deal with all title transfers and bill of sales.

Save Money With Potential Tax Breaks

• In most cases*, when you sell your vehicle to the dealership and buy from them at the same time (trade-in), you’ll save money on the sales tax of your new car.
• For instance, if you trade in a car for $5,000 and purchase a new vehicle for $20,000, you may only have to pay taxes on $15,000. Tax credits may also be available for select new vehicles, including hybrids and electric cars.
