Let Ray Skillman Chevrolet Buy Your Car Today

No matter how good a vehicle has been to you over the years, there comes a time when it’s time to trade it in for something bigger, faster, and more modern. Saying goodbye doesn’t have to be so hard when you value your trade or sell your car to Ray Skillman Chevrolet in Indianapolis, IN.

Don’t be fooled into thinking trading in your car has to be a complex ordeal. To help demystify the entire process, let’s look at some of our most frequently asked questions:

How Can I Get The Most For My Vehicle?

There’s this idea floating around that selling your car as a private party seller means you’re going to get the highest price. This concept couldn’t be further from the truth. Maybe you’ll be able to sell for a slightly higher price than you might get with other options, but you also have to factor in all of the work getting your car ready for sale:

• Completing necessary repairs
• Washing and detailing the interior and exterior
• Posting the car for sale in newspapers, online, around town, etc.
• Screening potential buyers, setting up viewings and test drives, etc.
• Dealing with low-ball offers, hassle, and headaches from people looking for a deal
• Ensuring that the title is transferred appropriately
• And more

When you consider all of the time, work, and cash you put into selling your car, you’ll lose money on the final deal. The best way to skip the pain of private sales is to go straight to Ray Skillman Chevrolet. Not only will you get a no-obligation, competitive price, but we let you skip all of the prep work. We’ll take your car as is, and you can finalize the deal in no time.

Can I Trade In A Financed Vehicle?

While owning a vehicle outright is the easiest way to trade in your car, you still have plenty of options if you’re still making payments on it. If you have positive equity, that is, you owe less on your loan than the car’s worth, you’re in a great position. We’ll buy your vehicle, pay off your loan, and put all of the leftover money towards your next purchase. If there is still money remaining after you select another car, you can just take it home as profit.

If you owe more on the car than it’s worth, called being “upside-down” on the loan, you can still make the trade. We’ll buy your car and pay off the loan. Your remaining balance is rolled over into your new loan.
