subject: How To Sell Your Car In Austin [print this page] Dream Cars Credit in Austin has partnered with AutoTrader.com's new Guaranteed Trade-in Offer program that helps people sell their vehicle. Whether people are thinking about selling or trading in their car, this program will help sellers accurately determine the value of the vehicle both quickly and at no cost to them.
Often times people refer to Kelley Blue Book when they want to find out how much their vehicle is worth, but are disappointed when they do not receive the same offer from a dealership when they actually go to trade in or sell their car. This situation is unpleasant for both the customer, who feels like they are being ripped off, and the dealer, who wants to help the customer but doesnt want to pay more for the car than they will be able to sell it for. The solution? AutoTrader Trade-in Marketplace (AKA: TIM).
You may be wondering why TIM is the answer to both the customer and the dealers problems without giving an advantage to one over the other. The reason is that TIM uses a tool developed by the largest automotive dealers in North America that accounts for fluctuating used car prices which may vary from day to day, like home or stock prices; this feature has never before been available until now!
For an even more accurate calculation, TIM pulls information from several different sources including:
1) Information about the vehicle that YOU, the owner, input which includes the mechanical condition, options, interior and exterior, mileage, year, make and model
2) Supply & demand of the vehicle (when gas prices are up, the offer on your gas guzzler will go down)
3) Historical trends (some cars hold value better than others over time)
Regional differences (buyers will pay sellers more or less money sometimes depending on the type of vehicle and where they are located, they dont sell quite as many over-sized pick-ups in Los Angeles)
4) Local market influences (includes dealer sales data, auction prices, and private seller prices being advertised online)
Once a customer inputs the information about their vehicle, which is more detailed than other tools currently available, they will receive an offer within minutes; this offer is a GUARANTEED amount that Dream Cars Credit will pay for their vehicle, whether or not they buy a car from them; the offer is good for 3 days and the vehicle information will be verified by a Dream Cars Credit employee.
