Have you been trying to sell your used car by posting it online? It can be a hassle to set up appointments with people who never show up or take up a lot of your time test driving your vehicle just to decide they’re not interested. If you’re tired of dealing with tire kickers, you may be wondering, “How do I go about selling my car to a dealership?”

Many Dickson customers have sold their cars to us and walked away happy after getting a fair price. We make the whole process simple. We recommend following the steps below for the best results.

What Should I Do Before Selling My Car to a Dealership?

You want your car to make the best impression possible so you can get the best possible price. Follow these steps to make sure your car is ready to be sold and that you’re prepared to negotiate:

  • Clean your car thoroughly, inside and out. The cleaner your car, the more attractive it is to a prospective buyer. It’s no different when you’re selling to a dealership.
  • Make what repairs you can afford. Any Dickson dealership will inspect your car before making an offer. So, fix any issues with your vehicle before attempting to sell it, as long as it makes financial sense.
  • Find your maintenance record and bring it to the dealership. This is not strictly necessary, but a maintenance record will go a long way when reselling your car.
  • Bring your title. A dealership will want to know whether you have a clean title to your car.
  • Do some research so you know the value of your car. You can appraise the value of your car with our online tool.
  • Bring your car to the dealership. Victory Nissan of Dickson makes it easy for you to sell your vehicle or trade it in. We pride ourselves on giving you a fair price.
