There were two ways to sell your old car—now there's three

Parting ways with your old car has never been a delightful task. The process is undeniably challenging and often leaves us torn between choosing between the lesser of two evils: selling privately or selling to a dealer. 

Selling your car to a dealership offers unparalleled convenience but often with a catch--getting less than fair market value. It's crucial to acknowledge that dealerships possess extensive knowledge and bargaining power, which means you'll likely receive a lower offer compared to selling privately. Furthermore, their negotiating style might not be to your liking. On the bright side, it's worth noting that purchasing a car from them may grant you a tax advantage.

On the other hand, selling privately often gets you a selling price that's closer to fair market value but demands considerably more time and effort. Dealing with numerous strangers who wish to test your car can be both inconvenient, time-consuming and unpleasant.

In some cases, private sales rarely align with your schedule, and relentless haggling becomes the norm.

Additionally, you'll bear the responsibility of navigating through the paperwork and ensuring the payment is conducted securely. Selling privately requires thorough preparation and transparency. While platforms like autotrader.ca, cargurus.ca, or kijiji.ca can provide some assistance, the bulk of the work falls squarely on your shoulders. Properly preparing your car, taking appealing photographs, and gathering all pertinent information (such as options, trim, and repair history) become paramount.

Clearly, each option presents its own set of advantages and drawbacks, and these drawbacks should not be underestimated.
