Step-By-Step Guide on Selling Your Car To a Dealer
Selling your used car in Wichita should be straightforward and satisfying, whether you drive off the lot with a new vehicle or have more money in your pocket. Whether you’re looking for a trade-in or to sell, Family Mitsubishi has your step-by-step guide to navigating confidently.
Clean your Car and Get Repairs
At Family Mitsubishi, we want you to get the most out of your Mitsubishi car, so your first step is to ensure your ride sparkles inside and out! First impressions matter, so have your vehicle washed to remove dirt and grime. Also, apply wax to help protect your paint from rust or chips. You should also vacuum out and wipe down your interior. Suck up any crumbs that may litter your floor or seat, pick up trash, and scrub your dash to get any lingering dust.
Furthermore, another way to boost the value of your Mitsubishi car is to make necessary repairs. Ensure any significant issues like worn-out tires, engine parts, and more receive repairs, as that investment will pay off when you take your car to a dealer!
Check Your Car’s Value
Before you search “dealership near me,” you need to know your vehicle’s value. On our website, you can use our Value My Trade tool, which uses KBB to estimate your car's value accurately. Why should you do this? Getting your vehicle’s value before you sell helps you understand the ballpark area the dealer may want for your car, and you have a number to start with when you negotiate.
Are You Trading or Selling?
It may seem like a silly question, but they’re different. Trading your car is when the value of your vehicle goes towards your new ride, like credit, while selling is cash in your pocket. When deciding, research what dealerships offer trading or selling specials to ensure your Mitsubishi car gets a fantastic value!
Gather Your Paperwork
Everyone wants the selling process to go smoothly, but paperwork can clog up the pipeline. Have all the necessary paperwork before visiting a dealership to ensure everything goes well. Some paperwork you may need are:
- The Car’s Title
- Registration
- Proof of Insurance
- Loan Payoff Information
- Driver’s License
- And More!
Ensuring you have the proper documents helps streamline the process and gets you on the road faster!
