Selling Your Car Vs. Trading It In

Selling Your Car Vs. Trading It In

Are you researching your trade-in vs. sell-car​ options? Unfortunately, the internet is full of misinformation, so finding reliable trade vs. sell​ information can be tricky. Volume Chevrolet is here to set the record straight with facts about trade-in vs. selling, car values that are fair,​ and details about our specific processes. We're also working hard to grow our pre-owned inventory, so if you're looking for a convenient place to sell your model, Volume Chevrolet is the place to be.

Trade-In vs. Selling: To Dealer​ Experts Like Us, Both Options Give You a Win!

One of our most frequently asked questions at Volume Chevrolet is, "What's the difference between a trade-in vs. selling car models for cash?" We know you probably hear this answer quite a bit in the auto industry, but the truth is, the best ​trade vs. sell option depends on your needs. Our dealership has helped hundreds of customers take both paths, and both lead to happy outcomes.

The second most frequent question we're asked is which option offers more money: car trade-in value vs. selling value. At Volume Chevrolet, they're equal. We offer the highest possible trade-in and sales offers, so no matter which route you take, you can expect to receive fair market value.

Trade-In vs. Sell-Car Pros

  • Trading In Your Car: Trade-ins are typically quick, require less paperwork than sales, and can be rolled into the purchase or lease of your next vehicle, meaning you'll only pay one round of sales tax. Value your trade now to get started!
  • Selling Your Car: Should you decide to sell your car or SUV to our dealership, you'll erase any need for private advertising and negotiating with buyers who easily change their minds. We'll make you a cash offer, which you can reject, accept and take home, or accept and put toward your next vehicle.

Regardless of your trade-in vs. sell-car​ preference, Volume Chevrolet promises fair-market values for your vehicle, a transparent process, and the best customer experience.

Busting Trade-In vs. Sell-Car Myths: What's True & What's Not?

Myth 1: If you sell your car to a dealership, you have to buy another.

Volume Chevrolet does not force sales on any customer. You are free to sell us your car or SUV and walk away with your payment, no questions asked. There's no fee for requesting a sales offer from our dealership, and you're under no obligation to sell us your car until we've all signed official paperwork.

Myth 2: Trading in or selling to a dealership means less money.

Take a quick look at online vehicle valuations, and you'll notice slight differences between dealers and the private sector – but take a moment to read between the lines. While you may earn an extra $500 from a private sale, that transaction could cost you months of dealing with buyers who waste your time. Sell to a dealership, and you're almost guaranteed to walk away happy.

Myth 3: Chevrolet dealerships only accept Chevrolet sedans and SUVs.

Volume Chevrolet is in the process of expanding our pre-owned and certified pre-owned inventory, which means we're purchasing and accepting trade-ins of every make and model. Whether you drive a Kia Forte, Honda Civic, Hyundai Santa Fe, or Toyota RAV4, we want to meet you and your daily driver.
