Every year, many drivers sell their vehicles for various reasons. For some, it's the chance to upgrade and get something that better suits their lifestyle. Some drivers hold on to their vehicles for a long time, and the mounting cost of repair bills is too much to deal with. Other drivers are planning to relocate or need funds for an unexpected expense. No matter the reason, every year, drivers ask themselves, "How can I sell my car?" Selling a vehicle used to be a rather straightforward process, but in today's increasingly digital marketplace, there are several options to choose from. Determining which method is ideal can sometimes seem difficult.

The Advantages of Selling Your Vehicle to a Dealership Like Ours

Selling your vehicle to a dealership is far easier and more advantageous than attempting to do it alone. When that dealership is us, you have many advantages that come with selling. First, you should know that we fully understand how stressful the process of selling a car can be and want to make it easy; you can always feel comfortable with our complete transparency in the process. Our hassle-free approach extends to everything we do, whether buying, selling, or helping our customers get the proper maintenance performed on their vehicles. 

Selling your vehicle on your own requires a lot of work and waiting, which are both unnecessary. First, there's the process of getting your vehicle ready for sale. Preparing your vehicle to go on the market involves detailing, having it inspected, and doing the proper research to determine the price you want. Next, there's a matter of advertising your vehicle and dealing with potential buyers who might try to lowball you and purchase your vehicle for a fraction of what you're asking. Just because you advertise your vehicle doesn't guarantee a sale. Depending on what you're selling, you might have to wait several weeks or months before a prospective buyer makes a fair or agreeable offer. 

Selling your vehicle to us allows you to circumvent the process of preparation and waiting altogether. Once you bring your vehicle in, we'll give it a proper appraisal and make an offer based on its current market value. You can either trade it in as a means of positive equity towards a new or used vehicle or simply have us purchase from you outright. No matter your reasons for selling or what you might do afterward, we're here to simplify the process. 

How We Determine the Value of Your Car

Many factors contribute to determining your vehicle's value. An advantage of doing business with us is that we rely on KBB (Kelly Blue Book), which many consider the industry standard. The primary attribute that goes into determining the value of your vehicle is how much it's depreciated. The process of depreciation is something that all vehicles go through, regardless of their make or model. Once a car, truck, or SUV is sold, the resale value diminishes yearly. All vehicles go through the depreciation process, but not at the same rate. Checking your vehicle's year, make, model, and current resale value is the first thing we'll look at when making an offer.

Besides depreciation, other factors impact a vehicle's value with KBB. Factors such as market demand and popularity can be essential to how high your vehicle's resale value is. Certain makes and models are more popular among consumers than others. Some factors determining popularity can be what features your particular vehicle has and whether or not they're sought after. Your vehicle's condition and structural integrity will also determine how much of an offer you receive. For instance, vehicles with more mileage and wear and tear might not receive as high an offer as those with less mileage. 

The structural integrity and cosmetic condition will also significantly affect its value. Vehicles with faded paint, dents, or unrepaired damage from an accident tend to be offered less than other well-cared-for vehicles. Repair and accident history is also something to be mindful of. If your vehicle has never been in a collision and has been well-maintained over the years, there's a good chance you'll get a better offer. All of the factors and more go into determining your vehicle's KBB value. The Hyundai of Union County team will make you the best offer possible based on its current market value. 

What to Do When You Trade in Your Vehicle to Us 

Once you've decided to sell your vehicle to us, there are a few things you should do before bringing it in. You must gather all the necessary paperwork, such as your title of ownership. You might also want to consider having your vehicle washed or detailed. Once we appraise your vehicle and proceed with the transaction, you have several options regarding what you can do next. 

If you're just looking for monetary compensation, you can have us make you an offer for your vehicle outright. After completing the necessary paperwork, you'll have money in your pocket and leave our location completely satisfied with the service you've received. If you want to sell your vehicle to us and purchase something from our new or used inventory, trading in is a great way to level up in quality. If you own your current vehicle outright or its current value exceeds what you owe, you have what's known as positive equity. Trading in your vehicle as a means of positive equity can reduce the upfront cost of your purchase and subsequent monthly payments. 

We Want to Buy Your Vehicle

Suppose you're unhappy with your current method of transportation and are either looking to sell it outright or put the equity towards something at our location. In that case, our experts are here to help. Our team will provide you with a hassle-free experience and make you a fair, balanced, and beneficial offer. Rather than go through the ordeal of selling a vehicle on your own, we'll handle all the details and make it easy. We base all our offers on KBB and provide complete transparency with the current value of whatever you're selling. You'll never have to worry about dealing with strangers who might try to underbid your asking price or being flustered with the paperwork involved in a sales transaction.
