Trading In or Selling: Which Vehicle Option is Best?

In most situations, people are 100% ready to buy a new car but are completely unprepared when considering what to do with their old one. Nexcar Auto Sales & Leasing is here today to let you know that you will always generally have two main options. You can, one: decide to sell the vehicle or two: decide to trade it in. If you are wondering which one is the best option for your auto situation, you're in luck because we have put this guide together to outline the pros and cons of both.

The Pros To Selling Your Vehicle

Typically, drivers will decide to sell their vehicle in a private matter for the sake of value. Some drivers think that if they make a private sale, they will be able to make more money rather than taking the offer from the car dealership. In some cases, this can be true. Drivers trying to maximize their value will most likely select this route to sell their vehicle.

The Cons To Selling Your Vehicle

One of the most obvious disadvantages of selling a vehicle privately is the amount of work that has to go into this process. Often times this process can take more time than one expects. This is because you will have to gather all documents, keep the vehicle maintained, decide the car's price, and find a buyer. For many drivers, the stress and hassle that comes along with this option are not worth the additional money. 

And in the worst case, if you are unable to sell the vehicle, you are stuck with this vehicle sitting on your driveway not being used.

The Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle

When you decide to trade in your vehicle at the dealership, you will enjoy the benefits of this process being convenient and efficient. The dealership in this case will handle all of the paperwork and the driver doesn't have to do anything. Another benefit is that drivers can put the trade-in value they receive towards their next vehicle purchase. This is the perfect option for those who want to avoid the burden of extra work.

The Drawbacks of Trading in Your Vehicle

Dealerships that make trade-in offers have to use some of their money to pay their hard-working employees. This essentially means that the driver can receive less value for the trade-in when compared to a private sale. However, this price difference is oftentimes less than drivers believe. Drivers who are unsure of what to do should contact the dealership they plan to get a trade-in with to get an estimated appraisal.
