Are you looking to sell your used vehicle? Would you like a simple process that allows you to sell to a trusted source and get a quality offer for your current car, truck, or SUV? Here at Volkswagen of Downtown LA, you can sell your car to us! We buy cars in addition to selling cars, and you can sell your pre-owned vehicle outright to us, or use it as a trade-in toward the purchase of a new Volkswagen or pre-owned vehicle we have at the dealership.
How does a vehicle trade-in or selling my car to the dealership work?
The process of selling your vehicle can be done in a few easy steps, which includes using the no-obligation form that we use to assess vehicle values for trade-in options, or for cars we'll buy from you. Once you get your price estimate, you can decide if that's a good price for you and we can hopefully come to an agreement. From there you can apply the value toward the purchase or lease of a vehicle, or we can make sure everything is squared away in terms of the payoff amount and title, and you can sell your vehicle to us and get money for your ride.
How do I find out how much my car, truck, or SUV is worth?
You can use our online trade-in form which uses leading pricing guides to get an idea of your vehicle's worth. You can also enter information in on sites across the internet to get a better idea. The more detailed you are on its make, model year, mileage, service history, and more, the more accurate your estimate will be. When we do an estimate, we also do an in-person appraisal as well to check and verify the vehicle's condition and make an offer that gives you top value, accordingly.
What are the benefits of selling my car to a dealership?
There are plenty of benefits of selling to us here in Los Angeles, which include:
- Not having to make listings on marketplaces on your own and dealing with all kinds of inquiries from people you don't know
- Having to facilitate car transfer paperwork between you and the other party, because we'll take care of that for you
- If you're satisfied with our offer and prepared with a title if you own your vehicle outright or can get the payoff amount completed, the transaction can be done sometimes within the same day
- You know you'll get good value and your money if you sell to us
Does selling a car hurt your credit?
If you have a financed vehicle you'll need to pay off the loan, and the amount owed on the vehicle will be taken out and applied to the loan, with you left with the balance. When you sell to a dealership we'll help take care of this and make sure that you're not put in a situation that can impact your credit score in a negative way.
Can I buy a car with just a trade-in?
This all depends on the value of the vehicle you're trading in. If you have a balance remaining that is enough to cover the costs, it is possible. Generally, this is true if someone trades in a newer vehicle or high value vehicle for a pre-owned option that's affordably priced. We'll walk you through trade-in and appraisal options and what choices you have to purchase a vehicle from our dealership.
