Traditionally speaking, the process of finding out the true trade-in value of your vehicle has been an inexact one. Depending on where you visit and who you talk to, the offers you receive for your vehicle can be wide-ranging and seemingly arbitrary.
If you take your car to a dealership, what you gain in convenience in letting an associate take care of the transaction from start to finish, you lose in value when getting a quote on your trade-in, as dealers often times factor in mysterious costs associated with reconditioning your vehicle for resale. If you decide to sell your car yourself, while you may receive the best overall return on investment for your vehicle, the process of finding a private-party can be arduous and perhaps require more time than you’re willing to spend.
Of course, there is no shortage of online car valuation tools that exist to help you learn what your car is worth, however those tools are often aimed at driving you to a dealership, lack thorough mechanisms that accurately pinpoint your vehicle’s value or have asterisks or strings attached.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go to one place where you could not only receive the most accurate (and personalized!) valuation for your vehicle, but also have the option to immediately trade-in your car without ever stepping foot inside a dealership or arranging an encounter with complete stranger? Furthermore, wouldn’t it also be great if this innovation didn’t play mark-up games with your vehicle’s trade-in value, and instead provided an untouched valuation that actually offered interest rate and sales tax savings?
Well wake up lil’ Suzy, because that dream is now officially a reality!
