Selling vs Trading: What’s the Difference?

Why Sell Your Car to a Dealership?

---

Selling your car is the ideal choice for those who are making a lifestyle change. Maybe you’re moving into a city with great public transportation, or you’re planning to use what you make to pay for an engagement ring or down payment on a house.

Regardless of your reasoning, you’ll have to choose between selling privately and selling to a dealership. When you sell to a dealership, you’re guaranteed a good deal because of the expertise of the team at the dealership. They’ve been in the industry for years and know how to properly evaluate vehicles.

If you decide to sell privately, you have some legwork ahead of you that may not pay off. Dealerships will do all of that for you.

What are the Benefits of Trading in Your Car?

---

Trading your vehicle at a dealership offers a very convenient transition between your current vehicle and your next vehicle. When you trade in your vehicle and buy a new one, it’s all done in one simple transaction at the dealership.

While you will have to complete this process at a dealership (as trading can’t be done privately), it does simplify the entire transition process. In less than a day, you can go from one vehicle to another.

Plus, choosing to trade a vehicle rather than sell it can help you save on sales tax depending on the state you live in. Say the trade-in value of your current vehicle is $10,000, and the vehicle you’re trading for is $30,000. You’ll only pay tax on the difference between the two, or, $20,000.
