Trade-in
Another way of selling your vehicle to a dealership is by trading it in for a new vehicle. This method can yield a good deal for you as a seller as the dealer will attempt to make the trade and subsequent purchase transactions as appealing as they can to you. The downside is that you may be limited in the vehicle options available to you at that particular dealer, while the trade-in amount offered to you is entirely up to the dealer in question, and might not be optimal.
