How Do You Sell Your Car to a Dealership?

Gananoque Chevrolet is always looking for vehicles to bolster its pre-owned vehicle inventory. So, what does this mean for you? It means you could easily turn that rarely-used car, truck, minivan, or SUV taking up space in your driveway into cash – today. Gananoque Chevrolet wants to buy your vehicle right now. If you’re curious about how to sell your car to our dealership, used car manager Ryan Easton is here to help you through the process. Let’s take a closer look at the steps you’ll need to take before and after you arrive at our showroom to sell your vehicle to us.

START HERE: How Much Is My Car Worth?

Convenience is the number one reason people choose to sell their extra vehicles to dealerships like Gananoque Chevrolet. When you come to our facility to sell your car, our team will perform an appraisal, help you fill out all of the requisite paperwork and send you home with a check in your pocket. The entire process takes about two hours or less. However, there could be some situations that could affect this timeline.

How Do You Prepare to Sell Your Car to a Dealership?

We know that you’ll be eager to get the most money possible when you’re selling your car, truck, or SUV to Gananoque Chevrolet. Our team will work very hard to offer you a price for your car that satisfies both parties. When you make the decision to sell your vehicle to us, there are a few things you’ll want to do right away, including:

  • Gather important paperwork, like the title and any associated financial documents.
  • All key fobs and extra sets of keys
  • Any accessories that came with the car, spare tire, tire jack, etc.
  • Owner’s manual

After you’ve found as many of the above items as possible, there are still a few more things you can do to make sure your sale fetches top dollar.

Each of these is the sort of thing a lot of us tend to put off. Failing to follow through could cost you when it’s time to move on.

What Happens at the Dealership?

Before you come to our showroom to sell your vehicle, please make an appointment. That way, we can be sure to have the people in place to make the transaction as smooth as possible. Also, you can use our free, safe, and secure trade-in calculator to get a rather accurate estimate before you arrive. We want to point out that the number you get from the tool on our website is only an estimate. Our team will perform a live appraisal when you get here, and that will determine the amount of our offer.

When you get to the Gananoque Chevrolet for your appointment, let the person who greets you know why you’re there, and you’ll be directed to where you need to go. From there, you’ll just need to answer a couple questions, sign a few items and wait for our team to finish the appraisal.
