Benefits to selling to a Dealership 

Are you interested in trading in your car? If so, you may have realized that cars have gone up in value significantly during the past couple of years. If it is time for you to sell your car, you need to make sure you get as much money for it as possible. We are Gerry Lane Cadillac, and we are always available to buy your vehicle. What are some of the top benefits of selling your car to a local dealership? Take a look at a few of the top advantages below and give us a call today to figure out how much money your car is worth.
Value Your Trade
1. No Waiting Period
One of the first benefits of selling your car to a local dealership is that you do not have to worry about waiting to sell your vehicle. Sure, you can put your vehicle in your front yard with a sign in the window, but how long is it going to take for someone to provide you with an offer on your vehicle? Your vehicle could end up sitting on a lot for months, and the value could drop during that time. Furthermore, if you need the money now, waiting for several weeks or months is not the best option. If you visit a local dealership, such as Gerry Lane Cadillac, we will make you an offer today. If you want to sell your car quickly, visit a local dealership.

2. Know How Much Your Car is Worth
Next, you need to make sure that you get a fair offer for your car. How do you know how much money your car is truly worth? It is always a good idea to take a look at Kelley Blue Book to see how much your car is truly worth. Furthermore, if you visit a local dealership, you will know how much money you can get for your car. All you need to do is take a look at how much money the dealer is selling the same car for, and you will have some idea of how much money you should get for your car.

3. Get a Trade-In Credit
Furthermore, by selling your vehicle to a local dealership, you can get a trade in credit. If you sell your car, you may have to pay taxes on the proceeds from the sale of that vehicle. If you trade in your vehicle at a local dealership, we can take the value of your vehicle, provide you with a trade-in credit, and give you more money to purchase a new car. This could help you save money on taxes. If you have questions about the implications of taxes regarding the sale of your car, we encourage you to reach out to a local accountant. Then, don't forget to swing by our dealership to learn more about the trade-in options we have available.

4. Access To Industry Experts
Finally, if you trade in your car to a local dealership, you also get access to industry experts. We understand that you may have questions about different vehicles. Perhaps you are interested in products you can use to upgrade your new ride. Maybe you are interested in some of the new models we have in stock. You might even be curious about different factors that impact the value of your car. If you want to talk to an expert in the field about different vehicles, a local dealership is the place to sell your car.
