On the other hand... not having all the hassle of selling it myself is worth something. Although, more than 1K seems like a big chunk to pay for that.
Was just wondering if any of the gang had any "how best to sell a car" wisdom.  |
To me the only time it might be advantageous to sell to a dealer is when you are trading a car in on another car. That way, you also save the sales tax on the trade in value, so you are getting an extra 7% (or whatever the sales tax is where you live).
If you aren't trading in, then it might be better to sell the car on your own. I haven't done that for quite a while, but advertising in the local newspaper might be a good place to start.
