Sell My Car

Every year, drivers everywhere decide to sell their car, truck, or SUV for various reasons. Here at Ruge's Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, we want you to sell it to us. You might have more than one reason for selling a vehicle. You might have mounting repair costs and can't afford them, or your monthly insurance payment is too high. Some drivers sell for the chance to upgrade to something newer or more unique. Others simply want the opportunity to get a lump sum to cover other unforeseen expenses. Regardless of the reason, if you're thinking "It's time to sell my car," we're the place to bring it to. 

Why You Should Sell Your Car to Us

As mentioned, there are many reasons why you might want to sell your car, truck, or SUV. Now, there are two ways you can go about this: You can either sell it in a private sale, or you can bring it directly to us. There are some notable reasons why the former is far more advantageous and easier than the latter. Selling a vehicle privately requires a lot of legwork, such as… 

Ascertaining an Asking Price

Determining how much you should sell your vehicle for requires research. All cars lose their value over time in a process called depreciation. Yearly publications such as Kelley Blue Book (KBB) list the present value of cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road. However, your asking price might not be equivalent to that market value. Factors to consider include demand, how much mileage your vehicle has traveled, and its current condition. 

Getting It Ready

Before any used vehicle goes on the marketplace, it must be properly prepared. As the seller, you should have it inspected by a professional mechanic. You should also take care of any needed repairs and overdue maintenance. As the seller, you are responsible for selling a customer a clean bill of goods. You should also have your car appropriately detailed and address cosmetic matters like dings, dents, and scratches. 

Advertising

If you're selling your vehicle on your own, you have to take care of the advertisements. Placing ads on social media, community message boards, and other places takes a long time and can be daunting. 

The Waiting Game

Just because you've gotten your vehicle ready to go on the market doesn't necessarily mean you'll sell it quickly. Depending on the vehicle you're selling, you might have difficulty finding the right buyer. Some makes and models are more popular than others, and waiting for the right buyer may take patience. Even when you do find a potential buyer, things aren't over yet; there's a chance that you might deal with people who will attempt to underbid you and lowball your asking price. 

Paperwork

As anyone who's made a significant purchase will tell you, any transaction requires a lot of paperwork, especially in a private sale. You'll need to track down your original title, and many buyers will want to see detailed receipts of any major repair work that has been done. Most contemporary buyers expect a CARFAX report detailing the complete history of a vehicle before even considering taking a test drive. 

Ouch! A private sale seems like a lot of work and almost more trouble than it's worth. You can sell your vehicle directly to us and expedite the process. We can take care of everything in a matter of hours and allow you to get on with your life in no time. Here are the perks of selling your vehicle directly to us…

No Waiting

While we suggest you make an appointment or notify us beforehand that you're coming to sell us your vehicle, it's not necessary. In fact, customers from all over the Empire State come to our dealership every day with a vehicle they wish to sell. 

Quick Turnaround

Unlike a private sale, we can make you an offer based on your vehicle's current market value immediately. You can have us appraise it online or at our physical location. We'll examine it closely and make you a fair and generous offer that is beneficial for you. 

We Do the Legwork

Paperwork is almost always the hardest part of any major transaction. The good news is that, by selling to us, we promptly take care of all the paperwork, allowing you to address more complicated matters. 

No Obligation

Some drivers assume that a dealership is only interested in buying a vehicle if the customer is trading it in, but this is not the case with us. We will happily buy your vehicle even if you don't decide to choose from one of the new or used models on our lot. 

We meant it when we said we would handle the legwork to help you sell your vehicle. To do so, you'll ultimately need to bring in your vehicle to sell or trade in to us, along with your title and driver's license. It's that easy. At Ruge's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we make selling your car quick and enjoyable. Even if you don't buy something else from us, we'll make you an offer for your current ride that you'll find hard to refuse. 

Selling Your Vehicle vs Trading It In 

Drivers who want to sell their vehicle to us can either trade it in toward purchasing a new one or sell it outright. It's important to decide which option works best for you and what the differences are. Regardless of your choice, our team will make you a fair offer that's agreeable to you. 

Selling your vehicle to us is easy. After you bring it in, we'll appraise it and make you an offer. You're not obligated to buy a new or used one from us. If you still owe money on your vehicle, be it a loan or lease, we can buy you out of it and give you the difference. We will handle all the detailing work on our end, so all you need to do is bring it in with the necessary paperwork, and we'll handle the rest. 

Trading in your current ride is a great way to offset the initial costs of a new auto loan. Some of our customers ask us how this process works. Well, it's simple: When you find a new or used car, truck, or SUV at our site you want to purchase, our financing department will find a way to get you behind the wheel. Many of our customers obtain financing through a loan. You have positive equity if your current vehicle is paid off or the value exceeds the amount you owe. Trading in with positive equity will lower your down payment and the subsequent installments, which allows you to pay off your loan much quicker or easier.
