Now Is the Perfect Time to Either Trade-In or Sell Us Your Car

 

At the dealership where I work, Serramonte Ford, we can help you with both. We'll take your car as a trade-in to purchase another new or used vehicle... or we'll buy your car, truck, van or SUV outright with no purchase required by you.

Why Now?

Due to the pandemic, used car sales have grown tremendously as people shy away from public transit and rideshare. And just as the laws of economics predict, with higher demand come higher prices.  That means trade-in values have never been higher. That being said, nothing lasts forever and we are apparently nearing the peak of this demand. Once we do hit the peak,  it will fall quickly. 

Why Me?

The reason I recommend that you sell your vehicle to me and our dealership, is that it helps you to avoid having to deal with two potentially huge problems. First, by dealing with a well-known, established entity like Serramonte Ford, you avoid risk. 

You don't have to:

• Deal with strangers whose reputation and business ethics you don't know about if you find them on social media or on Craigslist 
• Defend against unfounded future claims or potential litigation if your buyer thinks you cheated them or has second thoughts
• Be surprised with unlawful acts associated with the vehicle you sold because the buyer didn't process the ownership transfer documentation correctly... or at all!
• End up with a bounced check.

Second, you avoid hassles like:

• Having to learn what paperwork is necessary to complete the sale of your vehicle. Then make sure it's all filled out and processed correctly. 
• Schedule and go to appointments where people want to see your vehicle, but end up not purchasing it.
• Spending time and/or money marketing your car by posting on social media or vehicle "For Sale" sites.
• Worrying about whether you are pricing your vehicle too high or too low to make sure it sells without you losing money unnecessarily.

So, if you are currently thinking of trading your current vehicle in for a newer model, OR if you happen to have a vehicle that you don't need anymore, CARPE DIEM! Seize the opportunity now before trade-in values fall.  And, in case you didn't know, if you sell us a vehicle, there is absolutely no obligation for you to buy or lease another vehicle from us. Furthermore, you don't need an appointment have your vehicle appraised, free of charge. Our appraisers are professionally trained, with years of experience, and we provide you unbiased market-based estimates of the value of your vehicle from trusted third-party sources like Autotrader and Trade Pending.

It's true that in some cases you might potentially get a higher price for your vehicle from a private party, but add up the time you waste, extra risk and marketing costs and that extra profit might not really come to fruition. On top of that, with the current increase in trade values you may be surprised at how much we'll be able to pay you.

So give us a shot...  Remember, we'll appraise your car quickly and for free and with absolutely zero obligation​. Contact me at 773.620.2868 or come in to Serramonte Ford and ask for Seth Banko.
