Ensuring you get the most for your car when you sell it can be a lot of work. Knowing what to do, especially when selling your car at a dealership, can help make the process smoother and faster. That's why here at Sunset Cadillac of Venice, Florida, we've put together this helpful guide to walk you through the process of selling your car to a dealership from start to finish. Keep on reading to learn more about selling us your car.


What To Do Before You Sell Your Car
Before you even journey to the dealership to sell your car, there are some things to consider so you can leave with the most money possible. First and foremost, making sure your car is in top shape before getting it appraised will improve the chances of getting top dollar for it. Since a lot goes into an appraisal, having everything done beforehand can also speed up the car-selling process. Here are some important thing to do to get your car in top shape:

  • Get Your Car Serviced
  • Ensure Your Car Is Clean
  • Gather the Paperwork
  • Reflect On Other Considerations

What To Do At The Dealership
Once you have everything ready, you can start the car-selling process. When you arrive at the dealership, knowing how and when to work with the person evaluating your car can help you get the best price for it. At Sunset Cadillac of Venice, we want to work with you so you can get the most back for your car and hopefully upgrade to a new Cadillac, so we make the car appraisal process easy. You don't need to make an appointment for your appraisal, but you can if you'd prefer. Most appraisals take around 30 minutes to complete on-site.

If you'd rather get your vehicle appraised online, you can do that, too. The only information you need is your car's make, model, mileage, and condition. Once we review your information, we'll be able to make you an offer in minutes.

Do I Need an Appointment For An Appraisal?
You don't need to make an appointment to get your vehicle appraised. Visit our dealership at your earliest convenience. If you prefer, you can also schedule an appointment at a time that works best for you. Most evaluations take about 30 minutes to complete on-site.
Benefits of Selling Your Car to a Dealership
There are many good reasons to sell your car to a dealership versus a private party. First, Selling to a dealership can be a much faster process. We want to buy your car. Selling to a third party takes time and often involves haggling and repairs that ultimately don't let you get the most for your vehicle.

Second, selling to a dealership also lets you avoid the world of car buying scams, which offers peace of mind. Third, many dealers don't ask that you make repairs as many dealerships have their own in-house service center anyway. Fourth, you don't have to deal with being carless. At a dealer you can sell and buy your new car all in one day, never having to leave the lot. If you're selling your car to a third party before replacing it, you might have to rely on other transportation methods to get you around in the meantime.
Financing Made For You
Based on what you get for your car, you may need help with financing the rest of your loan. That's why we offer in-house financing, so you can get all your financing needs without leaving the dealership. And once you get that done, you can then turn around and find your perfect new Cadillac with our full-service finance experience. You're sure to find the finance solution that works for you and your budget.
