Selling your car to a dealer is the automotive equivalent of instant noodles: quick, convenient, and you’ll pay for the privilege.
Expect a lower offer than a private sale—dealers need margin for reconditioning, warranty and tea money—but you can be done in an hour with no tyre-kickers.
Bring photo ID, service history, spare keys and rego papers; if there’s finance, ask for a written payout and let them handle the settlement.
Clean it, fix cheap cosmetic sins, and get a valuation from a couple of dealers to keep everyone honest.
If the car’s modified or a bit “well lived-in,” transparency wins; surprises only make the number shrink.
When you’re happy, read the contract carefully, confirm the payment method (instant transfer beats confetti), and hand over plates/keys with a satisfied smirk.
