How to Sell your Car in San Antonio

When you go to sell a car, you have two options. You can sell your vehicle to a dealership for direct payment or a new car, or you can sell it to a private buyer. Selling privately involves a lot of hard work and time commitment. Selling a vehicle requires the owner to take pictures, create an ad post, respond to potential buyers, and meet with these potential buyers. Additionally, when you try to sell a car privately, there's no guarantee that you'll get what the car is worth and that it will sell in a reasonable amount of time. Conversely, when you sell to a dealership, you can be sure you're getting your car's total value based on condition and recent sales on similar vehicles. Additionally, when you sell to an established dealership like Lone Star CDJR, you can come in with your old car and leave with either money or a new set of keys in your hand within a couple of hours, not days or weeks.

As we mentioned above, when you sell a car, you want to make sure that you get exactly what it's worth. But, if you're like most car owners, you might not be sure of how much your car is worth. Right here on our website, you can use our Value Your Trade tool to put in your year, make, and model and get an estimate of your car's value. This will help ensure that you get as much of your car's value as possible. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, and to get a valid offer, an appraiser here at Lone Star will be happy to look over your vehicle and compare it to recent sales.

There are steps you can take to increase the resale value of your car. The first step is to give it a thorough cleaning inside and out. Before bringing it to the dealership, remove all your personal belongings, vacuum the seats and carpets, clean the surfaces with car cleaning products, and take it through a car wash. Clean cars will almost always appraise higher. Next, before going out to sell your car, you should put together a folder of as much information about the car as you can. If you have the title, put that in the folder. Also, include any service records you have, bills of sale, the owner's manual, and any other paperwork that gives information about the car. Following these steps will help ensure that you get the most from your trade.
