Should I Trade or Sell My Car?

You generally have two options when selling a car to a dealership: trading in and trading up or selling a car for cash. There are benefits to both options -- what matters most is your particular situation. If you'd like to trade in a used car and upgrade to a new-to-you Ford truck, Chevy SUV, or Toyota sedan, we'd be happy to show you how to apply your vehicle's trade-in value toward a down payment. No longer in need of a vehicle? No problem. We'll help you sell a car for cash in Lincolnton so that you can head home with a thicker wallet. It's that simple!

How to Sell a Car to a Dealership

Selling a car to our North Carolina dealership is easy. The process can be broken down into four basic steps:


  1. Visit us for an in-person vehicle appraisal to determine your car's value.
  2. Fill out a short survey about your vehicle, providing details like the make, model, mileage and history.
  3. Receive an official used car trade-in offer based on current market pricing.
  4. Sign over the title and leave with a check! 

Our auto sales team will be here to guide you throughout the process and answer any questions along the way. If you'd like to trade in and trade up to one of our used cars for sale near Hickory, simply let us know and we'll be happy to take you through our inventory!
