Used auto dealers are awesome when it comes to selling used cars. They are the professionals that truly know how to sell a used car. Because used cars are their business, you may want to have them sell your car for you. After all they do this everyday for a living.
If you are in need of selling your used car, there are consignment programs offered through some dealerships they may be able to help you. These guys know their stuff and can save you a lot of your precious time as well as get big bucks for your car.
Consignment programs for cars work similar to antique consignments. The dealership will take your car and sell it for you for a minimal fee. And trust me; it will be well worth the money!
The fees that you pay will be described in the Consignment Agreement. Sometimes the dealer will charge you a percentage of the sale price. Most times it will be a flat fee dependent on the sale price of your vehicle. The best case scenario is if the flat fee that slides with the amount you are selling the car for.
Trader secret: beware of the dealerships that offer to take a car on consignment for a flat fee, I have heard of dealers that charge $3,000 whether the car is worth $8,000 or $15,000. Obviously this could seriously hurt your wallet.
The fees charged will include the advertising of your vehicle. The dealership will market your car through many resources so that those looking for a used car will take notice of yours. Because these folks are professionals, dealers have marketing avenues you wouldn't even know about, this will help your car sell more quickly.
