Selling Your Car

This is usually one of the most annoying part of the car buying process... getting rid of your current vehicle. You are torn between selling it yourself or just trading it in. There is no secret that you will get more for your car selling it privately than trading it into the dealership. However, you also have to look into the tax implications on the profit of the vehicle compared to the pay off, as well as having to go thru the phone calls and showing the vehicle. If you are the kind of person that believes in a little effort for a little more money in your pocket, then selling your car is the way to go

If you are willing to bypass the headache of privately selling your car, you should just trade it in. Remember, try to negotiate the price of your vehicle before you let the dealership know about the trade it (see #1 mistake in buying a car). You should also make sure you are aware of the Kelly Blue Book value (and just so you know, even though KBB.com states you will see a certain number for the condition of your car, make sure to step it down one condition level to be realistic with your trade in). Also, making sure that your car is clean, vacuumed, and you armor all the dash and wheels could increase the value of your vehicle by up to $500... don't be lazy just because you choose not to sell it privately.
