Selling your car to a dealer is the automotive equivalent of trading your vintage vinyl for a quick buck—not always glamorous but often convenient. Dealers typically offer less than private party sales because they need to make a profit reselling your wheeled relic. Expect offers around 10-20% below private sale market value. Benefits include quick sale, less hassle, and often the ability to trade-in towards a new set of wheels. Downsides? You lose bargaining power and might feel like you're feeding the dealer's profit beast. For a fair shake, get quotes from multiple dealers and check used car prices on Tradingpost or CarShowroom. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
