If the process of purchasing a used vehicle is often tedious, then attempting to sell one can be excruciating. The question of "Should I sell my car?" is often met with a feeling of uncertainty about what lies ahead when beginning the car-selling process. There are a variety of possible reasons why you might want to sell your vehicle, whether it’s an upcoming financial matter you're concerned about, you’re moving to a location far away, or you’re simply looking to upgrade to something new and exciting. At Ryan Honda of Minot, we’re less concerned with why you might want to sell and far more interested in giving you the amount you deserve. It’s a fast-paced world, and it rarely slows down.
Instead of wading through a slew of offers from buyers who might want to haggle for a lower price or post ads that may or may not attract enough interest, at Ryan Honda of Minot, we can offer you cash upfront for your vehicle. No hassles, no stress, no gimmicks. Just an instantaneous offer and a quick transaction process that will allow you to get the best amount available and make things easier than they’ve ever been. Selling your car to a dealership like Ryan Honda of Minot can be one of the best options for you if you’re trying to sell your car. That’s because selling to a dealership like us provides many unique advantages.
There are only 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. On paper, it seems like more than enough time to sell a vehicle. The truth is, though, selling a vehicle yourself is one of the most time-consuming tasks you can undertake. Between posting ads, waiting for a response, and wading through the people who will try to make you sell for a much lower price than you’re asking for, the stress adds up quickly. Bringing your vehicle to Ryan Honda of Minot can eliminate much of the time that you would normally spend waiting for potential buyers. You’re already busy enough; let us take the headache out of selling your car.
Selling privately also makes you susceptible to fraud. Unless you have seller’s insurance, there’s less of a chance of being properly taken care of in the aftermath of being swindled. A dealership is as safe a transaction as you’ll ever find. It should also be noted that if there’s any mechanical failure with the vehicle you’ve sold in a private sale, you might be liable for any damage. Selling to a dealership extends an umbrella of legal protection from this. Once the deal is done, you no longer have to worry.
One of the most frustrating parts of selling a car is dealing with the paperwork that accompanies it. At Ryan Honda of Minot, we have that taken care of for you. We’ll gladly handle all of the paperwork on our end to make the process easier. Depending on the circumstances of the transaction, you can also be eligible for a tax deduction.
If you’ve never sold a car to a dealership or anywhere else, for that matter, there are a few steps and items that need to be taken care of before you sell. Each state has its own requirements and procedures, and North Dakota is no different. Aside from the laws set forth by the state, there are a few other items that you should be aware of. The first thing to remember is that all vehicles, regardless of their make and model, depreciate over time from the moment they’re driven off the lot. By consulting KBB (Kelly Blue Book), you can obtain the resale or vehicle trade-in value. This will allow you to get a ballpark figure of how much you’ll make from the sale.
While cleaning the vehicle may seem like a no-brainer, it's important to remember that presentation is a major part of any sales transaction. To maximize your gain when bringing your car into Ryan Honda of Minot, a sharp-looking vehicle will certainly grab our attention and potentially generate a better offer. If you have any minor repairs that need to be done to your vehicle prior to a sale, it’s best that you take care of them beforehand. We want to buy your vehicle, but one that requires less upkeep will always sell for a higher price than one that still needs considerable maintenance before going on the lot.
No one likes doing a massive amount of paperwork, no matter what it’s for. When you bring your car to Ryan Honda of Minot, there are some documents that you’ll need to bring along with you. While we’ll gladly take care of the paperwork related to the transaction, these are necessary for you to get the payment for your vehicle. The State of North Dakota requires a certain amount of paperwork to be completed at the point of sale, and while we’ll be happy to do all of the heavy lifting, there are a few things you should be aware of.
When selling a car in the State of North Dakota, a seller’s assignment and warranty of title must be completed. This information includes the price of the sale, a current odometer reading, and the date that the sale is taking place. If your vehicle is less than nine years old, an SFN 18609 Damage Disclosure Statement must be completed. To assist us in filling out this necessary documentation, we advise having a CARFAX report on hand. This will also inform us regarding any major repairs or accidents that have occurred while the vehicle was in your possession.
