What is the best site to sell a used car?

These days, it’s pretty much guaranteed that the car selling process starts online. To start right, you must pick the right site to sell your used car. Luckily, Ewald’s online site makes the whole thing as easy as possible!

• At Ewald Hartford Ford, we use Max Allowance cash offers to get you a quick and accurate price for your car. This system is as easy as filling out an online form and receiving an offer that same day!

• When we value your car, we strive to be as accurate as possible. We compare your car with thousands of other used cars around Hartford, WI, and our inventory. And the whole process is entirely transparent, so you know we’re not tricking you!

• We are confident that our offer will be the best you receive. We’re so confident that we’ll give you a guarantee. If you show us a better offer on your car, we’ll beat it by $500! This way, you can sell your used car with confidence.

• You can negotiate with us on our offer. A lot of more significant car-selling sites don’t allow negotiation at all. They give you an offer, and you can take it or leave it. But we know that not every situation is the same, and we want you to feel like you’ve gotten the correct value when you sell your used car.

What can you do to sell your used car faster?

You might be in a position where you want to sell your car as fast as possible. Ewald Hartford Ford can help with that too! Here are some ways to get that car sold ASAP.

• Selling through a dealership is the fastest way to sell your used car. If you don’t want to go through the online process, you can bring your car in and see if we’ll buy it on the spot. We especially love Ford brands, but we’ll buy any car brand!

• You can also sell your used car yourself at a discounted price. This sale will be quick, but you’ll get much less money for your car. In addition, you have to take care of the sales paperwork yourself. This extra work could take more time in the long run.

• If you want to sell your used car fast, ensure you have all the paperwork in order. If any of it is missing, that can delay the process. Keep reading to find out what paperwork you need to sell your car.

How much can I get for my car?

Since every car is different, every used car’s value is going to be different. Their values can differ so much that there is no way to give you even a ballpark number of what you can get. But there are specific factors that determine value.

• Mileage: This one is obvious, but we can’t leave it off the list. The higher your mileage, the less you’ll get when you sell your used car. 

• Age: This one is similar to mileage. However, you could get more if your car falls into the vintage category.  

• Make and model: Different car brands are worth way different prices. Luxury brands are worth much more, as are popular brands. Some are worth more because they are known to last for a long time or have low maintenance costs. The model year can affect the price if your year was a particularly good or bad one for that brand.

• Options and add-ons: When buying used, there is less opportunity to get options and add-ons with a car. So if your car is higher than the base trim with some extra features, you’ll get a higher price.

What to do when I sell my car

When you bring your car in to our dealership, you could just bring it in with no preparation. However, that’s not the smartest way to go about it. You should try to get it ready and have everything you need all together.

• First off, you should clean your car. First impressions matter, and cleaning a car can practically make it look like a new vehicle. You can get it detailed or do it yourself. 

• When you sell your used car, you need certain paperwork to make the sale. You should bring in your driver’s license, title and registration for the car, loan information if there is an existing loan, all car keys and fobs, and service records (this is optional but might get you a better price). 

• You might also want to get small things fixed on your car. This could be little dents or scratches that are easy and cheap to smooth out. It could raise your value a lot!

• After you sell your used car, make sure to alert your insurance! Whether you have a new car to add or just want to take your old one off, they need to know.
