We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What percentage is a lowball offer on a car?

It depends on the asking price. If the seller is asking what its worth then anything less than about 80% of that is getting offensive. At the same time if theyre playing games and tacking on an extra 30% then you need to lowball them by about as much to meet at a reasonable price.

What happens when a dealership offers to buy your car?

If the vehicle is worth more than you owe on it, the dealer will deduct the loan payoff amount from the offer, and you will get a check for the difference. If you still owe money on the vehicle, youll be responsible for covering the difference. Many dealers focus on making this transaction transparent.

Why do dealerships try to buy your car back?

This is a standard thing that car dealers do. They live on the margins. If they can buy your car for $5,000, brush it up with a nice detailing resell it for $7,000, then they have made a profit. Also, they need a stable of used vehicles that they can sell to folks who (currently) cant afford a new vehicle.

What is a reasonable offer on a car?

A good rule of thumb is to offer 10-15% below the asking price, but adjust based on market conditions and demand. Remember, negotiation is like a dance where both sides need to find a balance. If youre looking to drive luxury cars, consider our [Luxury Car Subscription] options in Costa Mesa, CA.

Will dealerships just buy your car?

You can typically sell your car to a dealer even if you have no intention of buying a vehicle from them. Dealerships acquire used cars from many sources aside from trade-ins, including auctions, car rental agencies, and private parties.
