You’re most likely to get the best price for your used car if you sell it yourself. However, many people have neither the desire nor the time to do this. If you are going to trade in your vehicle, MAAP can suggest ways to help you get a fair price.
It is important that you keep your trade separate when you’re negotiating the price of your new vehicle. Set the new car price first, then have your trade appraised. That way, you’ll know how much you’re actually being given for it. If you decide to sell your car yourself, call us first. We can give you the approximate market value of your car, plus tips on obtaining a fair price.
