What's The Best Way to Sell Your Car?

First off, you may be wondering why you should sell your car to a dealership rather than attempting to sell it privately. It’s important to remember that if you choose to sell your car privately, you’ll be in charge of the entire process, from deep-cleaning your car, to taking high-quality photos, posting the listing online, and managing all of your negotiations and other communications with your buyers. That can add up to a lot of work! After all that, you can still run into potential risks like scams or no-shows, and a lack of interest in your listing can leave your car sitting in your driveway for months while you wait for someone to bite. When you work with Rouen CDJR, we can take the pressure off of your sale. We’ll walk you through the entire process, and can even appraise your car and give you a check for its value all in the same day! From there, we’ll take care of cleaning and inspecting your vehicle, and selling it to its new owners for you!

If you’re thinking about selling your car to us at Rouen CDJR, you can start your process right here on our website. We want to give you an idea of your car’s value right from the get-go, so that you can make an informed decision on your sale. To help with this, we provide an online estimator tool where you can get an approximate quote of your car’s value based on current market data! Start by clicking on the Finance tab on our website, and select Value Your Trade from the drop-down menu. From there, you can search for your vehicle by license plate number, VIN, or make and model. Our search engine will then produce a value estimate, powered by Kelley Blue Book. Then, our team here at Rouen CDJR will verify that offer during your appraisal, and give you either a check for the value, or trade-in credit for you to use towards your next car purchase!

When you’re armed with the knowledge of your car’s trade-in value, it’s time to get ready to take the plunge and actually sell your car! Here at Rouen CDJR, we make sure that all of the used cars on our lot are professionally cleaned, and inspected for quality. That means you don’t have to worry about detailing or deep-cleaning your car, but there are still a few easy steps you can take to get ready for your appraisal. First off, make sure that your car is completely empty. Check all the nooks and crannies, such as the glove compartment, center console, seat-back pockets, and overhead compartments to make sure none of your belongings are left behind. Next, make sure there’s no lingering personal information stored within your vehicle’s tech by unpairing your phone from the Bluetooth system, erasing destinations from the GPS, and deleting any contacts from your call history. Lastly, it never hurts to give your car a quick clean-up by wiping down the dashboard, steering wheel, and door sills, and giving the floor mats a quick vacuum to get your car looking its best!

The final step in selling your car to Rouen CDJR is setting up your appraisal! You can make your appointment online, or by giving us a call here at our dealership in Woodville, Ohio. At your appraisal, we’ll assess your vehicle, and verify the quote you were given in your trade-in estimate. From there, we’ll walk you through your paperwork which will finalize the sale. You can then choose to either redeem your car’s trade-in value with a check, or with trade-in credit that you can use towards your next purchase! The choice is totally up to you, and you can expect a pressure-free environment. In fact, we’re always happy to appraise your trade-in whether you plan to shop with us or not! Before your appointment, be sure to bring your driver’s license, your car’s registration, and most importantly, the title. This document indicates the owner of the vehicle, so it’s necessary to have in order to properly sell your car. Make your appraisal appointment today to get started!
