Will a Dealership Buy My Car Without a Trade?

Absolutely! A dealership will buy your car without a trade. The process is straightforward at our dealership near Tulare because we already have strong financial backing as a long-standing auto dealership. We buy used cars with great buying power versus private sellers around Delano. We invite you to talk to us because we’re a dealership that will buy your car without a trade.

Who Buys Used Cars?

We buy used cars at Porterville Ford. Private citizens can buy used cars from individual sellers rather than dealers, and collectors often buy used cars. However, we buy used cars with less of a hassle and less paperwork on your part. We can explain how to sell a car in California to a dealership with our easy-to-follow, step-by-step process.

How to Sell a Car in California to a Dealer in Eight Easy Steps

1. Make sure the dealership is someone who buys used cars.
2. Tap into our Value Your Trade tool to determine how much your vehicle is worth.
3. Look at other sources like Cars.com or Kelley Blue Book to see what other places value your vehicle.
4. Call us at 559-615-5358 or contact us to make an appointment. When you work with us, you’ll have the right staff to handle all your needs!
5. Gather your vehicle ownership documents, like the title and any outstanding loan information, as well as your ID and spare sets of car keys.
6. Bring your vehicle to our lot during the appointed time.
7. Our team will inspect your vehicle to finalize the offer we make.
8. You can accept the offer, negotiate for a better one, or see if you can get a better offer with a different dealer. If you have any outstanding loan payments, we will pay that for you and the difference between the loan payoff and the offer will be the cash you receive.

A few pro tips. First, the final offer may not be the one you see on the value your trade tool. The online tools give you an estimate of what it could be. Another note is that trade-in value is different from a private seller value. A private seller value is what you would get if you sell your vehicle to another individual and not a dealer who buys cars. Remember, we will try to sell your car as a quality used vehicle later! Also, clean up your car and make it look great! It will increase the value of your vehicle.

Benefits of Selling Your Car to a Dealer

Why sell your car to a dealer instead of selling it yourself? Yes, you’ll get more money selling it yourself. But you might be hanging onto that vehicle for a longer time. 

• Selling your car is much easier when you come to a dealership. We have the resources and professionals to make the process go easily. We buy and sell cars for a living in Porterville!
• There’s less hassle involved because you don’t have to deal with selling your car and working with potential buyers. You can also sell your car a lot faster.
• It’s easy to apply your trade to a new car. We make it convenient by keeping buying and selling under one roof. But you don’t have to buy a car from us if you sell us your vehicle!
• You can trade in a financed car or a vehicle that you’re upside down with your car loan. It’s a bit trickier than if your auto loan has already been paid off, but it is possible. We have a guide about how this process works.
