The Best Way to Get A New Car! of California - Getting Rid Of Your Old Car

Most new car brokers do not take trade ins, but we do. Most brokers don’t do a lot of things that we do for our clients, here at Sharp Cars! We cover all the bases, including buying and paying off your old vehicle, reconditioning it and wholesaling it for you. But, we do more than just that. For instance, we have an advantage being located in the middle of the state. Here’s why: Used two wheel drive SUV’s re-sell better in Southern California. Four wheelers sell better near the mountains or the beach. Volvos sell best in the Central Coast. Mercedes do well in LA, but better in the Bay Area. Japanese cars do best in the Central Valley. High mileage 4 wheel drive vehicles sell best near Reno. Pickups sell best in the Farm Belt of California. We’re right in the middle of all of these places. You trade in a 2 wheel drive Ford Explorer, we can have it on one of our trailers on its way to LA in a day or two, netting you, possibly, hundreds of dollars more than if we had sold it for you in a different market. Your next trade in might head out-of-state, and so on. A good price on the right new vehicle plus the right financing is nice, but the old car is an important part of the equation as well.

Obviously, you will get more for the old car, if you retail it yourself. Whoever does the selling work gets a “piece” of the selling price in exchange for their labor. We can advise you regarding market conditions and timing, what to do to your car to spend the least and get the most for it, and sometimes, we even have a client who is looking for a car like yours!! On the other hand, if we can get you enough money for the old car through our skills in selling to other dealers, then you may not want to go to the trouble of selling it, yourself. We often do that! You just trade it in and we apply the value toward your new vehicle.

What’s more, if your car becomes an insurance total loss, we can lead you through the process of selling it to the insurance company and getting top dollar from them. We are also very active in accepting vehicles for donation to charities. This is tax deductible for you, and a blessing to people who are doing truly important work. Sometimes, you may net a better return by donating the car than by trading it in. Even if you don’t, you’ll be doing something VERY special for others more needy than you might be.

Since we dispose of a lot of used vehicles, we are very familiar with the market. If it would benefit you to wait a month or two to get a better price for your old car, we will tell you. You are free to do what you want with it… we’re mostly concerned with letting you know what will net YOU the best return out of your old car!!
