OK, now you want to sell your car. What options do you have? The fastest route is to sell it to the dealer. Some local dealers give you 7 day guaranteed appraisal quote. You take your car to the dealership, and they test drive it, and give you a quote afterward. The whole process takes about 30 minutes. You can not sell your car faster than that! You can get a fair sale price if the dealership uses the "buying car" as a marketing tool to create buzz in local community and to get you in their stores. So they usually ask what car you are going to buy to replace it at the end even though the car appraisal process is independent of whether you buy cars from them or not. Another option is to call local dealers, and take it to them afterwards.

Another option of selling cars to dealer is by consignment. You park your car at their car lot, and they deal with potential car buyers, and market the car for you and charge you for a flat service fee like $300, or they take a percentage of the sale. Because the risk involved, and the cost of keeping the vehicle at the lot, and the insurance, and all that, the fees are not cheap. But you get a lot of exposure from buyers who walk into that lot. That's an attractive way of selling your car too.

Dealers have to make a healthy profit to stay in business. But if you think the car dealer is low balling you, and you can do better by selling it yourself, then read on.

Consignment sale went good!

I am so happy DesertAuto.com helped me sell my car on consignment. I am always so busy with business that the last thing i want to do is try and sell my car. So i gave consignment sale a try and it was so easy and fast. I will definitely use Desert Auto again and probab...ly keep coming back one once in a while to see their awesome cars for sale. Maybe ill end up buying one for the right price. Thank you Sonny

Great Experience

I have had some really horrendous experiences in car buying over the years. The last used car that the I bought, the dealer took my cash and skipped town, not paying the taxes, tag or title on the car and it took over a year for me to settle things with the state. Be...cause of this, I was leery to go used car shopping again with a dealer, yet was also scared enough by all of the Craigslist scams that I relented. I had heard a few good things about Desert Auto so my sister and I made the drive over here to take a look. So glad we did because these are some of the friendliest and most helpful car salesmen that I have ever dealt with. I am partial to luxury brand vehicles and was looking for some type of suv to replace my car that just died. They had several on the lot that were in my price range and to my liking. I test drove a few and settled on a 2007 BMW X5. The car was clean and ran great. My credit is average and I sat down with Sonny who was super helpful in discussing my options. He helped me to fill out the paperwork for a quick loan application and had me approved for the best deal in less than an hour. We drove off of the lot in my new BMW and it has been running like a top since. I am extremely satisfied.
