Sell A Car

You might feel overwhelmed if you're right at the beginning of your car selling journey. There seem to be many steps and way too many options for selling. That is why Ewald Venus Ford is here to make the process much easier. We are a Milwaukee used car dealership that can help you through every step of selling a car—starting now, before you step foot in our dealership.

Where to sell a car

There are indeed thousands of car-selling websites you could choose from today. Any of these could be a decent choice, but Ewald Venus Ford is the best choice! We combine the convenience of selling your car online with the personal touch of in-person care.

• We use Ewald's MaxAllowance system to help you get the best price when you sell a car. This system scans thousands of used cars and our inventory to get you the most accurate price. And it's transparent! We re-evaluate prices daily to get maximum accuracy.

• If you think we lowballed you, let us know! Big car websites like Carvana and CarFax don't allow negotiation. We do because we know your situation is unique.

• All of Ewald's locations are locally owned, and it shows. We pride ourselves on the customer service that more prominent companies can't provide. When you sell your car with us, we will ensure you are satisfied.

How to sell a car with a loan

Do you want to sell a car with a loan? No problem! We can take care of that. First, find out whether you have positive or negative equity. Negative equity means that your car loan is worth more than your car. If that is the case, you may want to wait to sell.

If you have positive equity, that's great! When you sell us a car, bring in the loan information. We will take on the loan and pay it off. Ewald will deduct the loan amount from the car's value, and you will get the remainder.

What do you need to sell a car

Ah, the paperwork. Nothing is worse than being ready to finish a sale and then realizing that you left an essential paper at home. Here's a comprehensive list so that won't happen to you!

• Driver's license: Hopefully, you have this one on you anyway if you drive your car to us! But we promised a comprehensive list, so this one goes on it.

• Car title and registration: Since you are transferring ownership to us, we need the originals of these. These documents are essential when you sell a car.

• Keys and remotes: We will need anything that can control your car. Try to find all of them!

• Car loan information: If you still have a loan on the car, we need all the information. If not, don't worry about it!

• Maintenance records (optional): This is helpful for us to know what the car has been through before your sale. 

What to do when selling a car

When you sell a car, there is a lot you can do to get a higher price. You know what they say: first impressions matter! If your car makes an excellent first impression, it will fetch a high price.

• Clean your car thoroughly! You might think it doesn't matter; dealers can see the value of the car through the dirt. But a clean car suggests that it has been well-maintained, which raises its value.

• Fix any minor dents and scratches. Little things that never bothered you are worth getting touched up when you sell a car. It will make the whole car look like it's in better shape.

• Keep up with maintenance. You must do maintenance throughout the car's life. Scheduling maintenance like oil changes and tie rotations on time will significantly extend your car's life and value.
