Why Sell Your Car to a Dealership

With so many options to sell your car these days, why sell to a dealership? That's a great question, and the answer will satisfy all the needs you have for selling your car. Think about what you want out of your car transaction. You want to get a fair price that reflects what your car is worth, and you want to complete the sale relatively quickly so you can move on to your next car. Now, let's see how we can exceed these expectations.

Selling your car to Newton Nissan of Gallatin takes the guesswork out of the transaction. When you attempt to sell through an online listing, you are blindly trusting the other person to show up and have the funds to buy your car. Have you ever been "ghosted" when trying to sell an item online? It's a frustrating experience, to say the least, and it can be especially challenging when selling such a high-priced item as a car. On the other hand, buyers often try to haggle the lowest price possible when your vehicle is actually worth more.

We are different because when you sell to a reputable dealership like Newton Nissan of Gallatin, you get a simple, convenient and safe transaction. The whole transaction is handled at our dealership as fast as possible. The other great benefit to selling your car to us is you receive a cash offer for your car. You aren't required to purchase a vehicle from us or trade-in for a car when you sell to us! This is truly about you getting what you deserve from your car.

If you are ready to purchase another vehicle, you're already in the perfect place to find the full lineup of new Nissan vehicles, plus high-quality used vehicles from all the major car brands. Our team is more than happy to help you in any way, whether you purchase a car from us or not.

What Do You Need to Do Before You Sell Your Car?

Before you hand over your keys, there are a few important items to complete. Selling your car is one of the largest transactions you'll experience, so it's best to be informed going into it. You don't want to be surprised at any point when selling your car, and doing a little preparation can go a long way.

First, start gathering your car's important paperwork. We'll go into detail about what paperwork you need below, but it's a good idea to start thinking about where it all is and getting it in one spot. Next, inspect your car's interior and exterior. Are there any outstanding repairs that need to be completed? Go ahead and make any necessary repairs. It's also wise to have your car detailed. This just gets your car looking in its best condition when it's time to sell.

Then, when you sell to Newton Nissan of Gallatin, getting an offer is easy! Simply fill out our instant cash offer form to get an official offer for your vehicle. You will fill in your vehicle's information and answer some questions about its condition. It's as easy as that! Then, you will bring your vehicle and the instant offer to our dealership, where we will verify the offer.

At the dealership, our qualified team will conduct another inspection of your vehicle's interior and exterior. This is why it's great to have your vehicle in pristine condition when you bring it in to sell! After the inspection and all the paperwork is completed, you have the option to leave with a check in hand or put the trade-in value towards your next car. The offer is the same whether you choose cash or trade-in, no gimmicks!

What Paperwork Do You Need?

Once you have your cash offer in hand, you're ready to head to our dealership! Our goal is to make this transaction as smooth and convenient for you as possible. That is why we want you to know all the paperwork you need to sell your car. The last thing you want is to have to hurry home because you didn't have an important document! Here are the documents you need to finalize the sale of your car.

Once you complete that instant cash offer form, print it out or save it on your phone to bring it with you. This is how we get started on your transaction. You also need to bring all of your vehicle's key documents, including the vehicle title, vehicle registration, and any service records. If the car you're selling is financed and you are still paying off the loan, you won't have the vehicle title. In this case, bring the lienholder information and documents showing how much you owe. For a leased car, you will need to check with the leasing company to determine their requirements.

Other miscellaneous items to bring when selling your car are your driver's license and all the keys, manual, and accessories for your vehicle. With all of this in hand, selling your car to a dealership is simple. Because you are working with an experienced team, we can process the sale efficiently, and there's no wondering if everything was completed correctly. If you have any questions along the way, our team is happy to help.
