Trade-In vs Private Sale

Benefits of Trading Your Vehicle

 
There are so many risks and so few benefits associated with selling your vehicle yourself. By trading or selling your vehicle to Runde Auto Group, you can save yourself the time and stress that comes along with selling a vehicle privately.

Save on Sales Tax by Trading
Simply put, you only pay sales tax on the cash amount of your purchase. For Example: If you live in a state with a 7% sales tax on vehicle purchases and you buy a $40,000 vehicle, you’ll pay $2800 in sales tax. Now if you have a trade-in that’s worth $20,000 then you’ll only pay tax on the cash balance of the purchase so by trading the vehicle, you’d save $1400 in state sales tax.  Saving on sales tax is one of the biggest benefits of trading in a vehicle.

Avoid Dealing with Complete Strangers
Probably one of the scariest parts of selling your car on your own is the fact that you have to deal with complete strangers. How do you know if you trust them? Of course many will recall the story of the elderly couple in Florida who listed their vehicle for sale on Ebay only to have a prospective buyer visit their house, shoot them both dead and drive off in their car. Your privacy is very important, so let Runde Auto Group buy your vehicle. Our fast, safe, and secure process can have you in and out quickly and with cash in your pocket. We’ll handle everything, and you don’t have to worry about a thing! We’ll even take care of the DMV paperwork.

 

Eliminate Title Transfer & Payoff Hassles
Title transfers are not only confusing, but they are time-consuming and a scheduling nightmare, especially if you still owe money on your vehicle. You need the money upfront to pay off the vehicle, but the person buying it won’t pay until they have a clear title. What happens if you take a deposit, only to find out later they buyer can’t get a loan for the rest? Or worse, what happens if you accepted a payment by check and it turns out to be a fake? Let Runde Auto Group ease your worries. We work with all banks and financial institutions. We’ll give you a fair price for your vehicle, and we’ll handle the entire transaction. After all, this is what we do; all day every day!

 

Don’t Risk Having to put more Money into your Vehicle
If your potential trade is out of warranty, anything that happens to it tomorrow will come out of your bank account.
Potential Risks include:
Battery goes dead: $150-$250
Alternator fails: $500-$600
Engine problems: $500-$7000

 

Remove the Risk of Accidental Collisions
If you’re thinking of buying a vehicle at Runde Auto Group and you want to take it for a test drive, that’s great, you’ll be covered under our insurance. However, if your prospective buyer wants to test drive your car or show it to their mechanic, does your insurance cover them? Save yourself the worries. Just bring your vehicle to Runde Auto Group and we’ll quickly provide you a fair appraisal of your car. We are fully licensed and insured … just another one of the benefits of trading. We’ll take the risk and you take the cash. Fast and simple!
