Value Your Trade-In
⇒Your trade-in is like a big down payment on your new car. That means you can afford more and pay less each month.
⇒Selling on your own is hard and time-consuming. Trading in at Used Car City is fast and easy — guaranteed.
⇒A trade-in lowers the price of your new car, so you pay less sales tax to TX. A private sale means full sales tax.

You may want to think twice about selling a car on your own
Selling privately brings risks and complications
> Selling a car eats into your free time. You’ll need to be around to meet with buyers — especially on weekends.
> Did you take all the proper steps to protect you and your family from liability — even after the car gets sold?
> You’ll have to pay to fix any issues with the car. That puts you in a financial hole before you can even sell it.
> The longer it takes to sell, the longer you’ll have to keep shelling out loan payments, taxes, and insurance.
> You should never let someone test drive your car alone. Are you comfortable tagging along with complete strangers?
> It’s a frustrating process. Buyers bail. Deals go bad. Even if it does go well, don’t expect to get your top price.
> Selling is a special skill. If you want to get top dollar for your car, you’ll need to be a strong negotiator.
> It’s a slow route. Your car might not sell for weeks or months. Hopefully, you don’t need the cash now.
