At DCH Audi Oxnard, we know a little something about buying and selling cars. Have you ever wondered why some owners sell their vehicles every couple of years instead of keeping them for the long haul? It turns out, for many owners selling early can be a very logical decision. In our experience, here are the top six reasons why selling your car might be the best option:
- Avoid Expensive Maintenance and Repair Costs – as your car gets older, your service bill gets higher. Expensive engine replacements, broken parts, and other major repairs can add up fast, and sometimes it makes more financial sense to avoid the whole process altogether.
- More Money in the Bank – besides maintenance costs, by selling your car you also avoid annual registration and insurance fees, not to mention that monthly car payment.
- More Room in your Driveway or Garage – If you have an extra vehicle laying around, it could be taking up valuable storage space! Many families choose to sell an extra car to free up space for a workbench, basketball hoop, or hey – a new car.
- Pay Less Each Month for an Upgraded Vehicle – when you’re able to apply the value of your current vehicle to your new vehicle purchase, it’s likely you will end up with a lower payment each month for a vehicle that offers you more advanced technology, comfort, efficiency, and safety.
- Avoid Depreciation – unless you drive a rare or collectible vehicle, your car loses value at a rapid rate (about 20% per year during the first 5 years of ownership). The earlier you trade in or sell, the more your car will be worth.
- Guaranteed Cash Offer – With our trade evaluation and guaranteed cash offers, you’ll get a fair price you can count on. We’ll offer you market price (or higher) for your make and model. You can either use your “selling price” to trade your car for cash, or put the value toward payment for a new vehicle.
