Selling vs Trading In: Which Choice Takes More Time and Effort?

---

If you’ve had experience privately selling your vehicle in the past, you probably noticed what a time-consuming process it was. Private sales take a lot of your time and effort, since there are many steps to take to make it work.

For starters, you’ll have to ensure your vehicle is in prime condition in order to attract buyers. This includes cleaning and detailing the vehicle, as well as taking care of any repairs or maintenance. Then, you’ll start the selling process by taking photos, posting ads, answering phone calls, etc.

While there’re perks to selling your car, trading your car in with us is the easier choice. You can bring your car to our Virginia Beach Ford dealer in any condition. We’ll take care of any maintenance and even the cleaning.

When you bring your car to us, we’ll appraise the car right away, and get back to you with a fair trade-in value. After you accept the offer and go through the paperwork, the process is complete, and you are ready to hit the roads in your next vehicle!

The Option That Saves You Money

We know that when making your decision between selling or trading in your current vehicle, money is a huge factor. Did you know that trading in your vehicle with us saves you money on your next vehicle purchase?

When you put your trade-in money towards your desired Ford model, you could potentially save money on taxes. In many states, dealerships will deduct the trade-in amount from the sale amount, meaning you’ll only have to pay taxes on the amount that’s left.

For example, if you’re purchasing your next vehicle for $30,000, and your trade-in value for your current car is appraised at $10,000, you’ll only be paying taxes on the amount left to pay, which is $20,000.

Selling vs Trading: Privacy and Security

---

If you’re looking for the most secure way to get rid of your current vehicle, trading it in is the way to go. From the initial appraisal of your vehicle to signing the paperwork, we’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable through the entire process.

All of your personal information is safe with us, and trading in your vehicle will help you avoid having to work with any third-party companies like you would use in a private car sale.
