Selling to a dealership is the speed-run: less faff, slightly less money.
Expect offers roughly 2–15% under a well-priced private sale—convenience isn’t free.
Clean the car, fix cheap niggles, bring service history, both keys, and (if financed) your payout figure; then get quotes from at least two dealers.
Use Tradingpost comparables to know your walk-away number and negotiate the changeover figure, not monthly fairy tales.
Only hand over the car once funds are cleared, the contract says “no encumbrances,” your plates/toll tag and data are removed, and the transfer is completed on the spot.
