subject: Washington Infiniti Dealers Help You Decide: Trade in the Used Car or Sell it Yourself [print this page] Are you coming to Washington Infiniti to buy a new car? If so, what should you do with the car you're driving now, trade it in or sell it yourself? Usually, trading in your car is the easiest option, but if you're up for a little challenge you might earn a slightly higher profit selling the car on your own. Here are things to consider when deciding between trade in and private sale:
Trade in VS Private Sale Value
Use the Kelley Blue Book website to find out how much your used car would be worth if you traded it in to our Washington Infiniti dealership versus the amount you might get if you put it on your lawn with a for sale sign on it. If the difference in money is minor, using the car as a trade in makes more sense. If it appears you could get a lot more for the car selling it yourself, you might try selling it first, but be prepared that most buyers of used cars will want you to negotiate a lower price.
How Soon You Need to Sell
Finally, if deciding between a trade in or selling your car, you should consider how soon you need the money. If you are selling your used car yourself, you'll probably have a few weeks or months before it sells. If you're bringing the car in to trade in towards a new vehicle, the savings are applied right to the costs of your new Infiniti which helps lower your cost for the new car or lowers your monthly financing expenses.
