What is the Fastest Way to Sell a Car for a Good Price?

These days, it's pretty much guaranteed that the car selling process starts online. To start right, you must pick the right site to sell your used car. Luckily, Ewald's online site makes the whole thing as easy as possible!

1. At Ewald Chevy, we use Max Allowance cash offers to get you a quick and accurate price for your car. This system is as easy as filling out an online form and receiving an offer that same day!
2. When we value your car, we strive to be as accurate as possible. We compare your car with thousands of other used cars around Waukesha, WI, and our inventory. And the whole process is entirely transparent, so you know we're not tricking you!
3. We are confident that our offer will be the best you receive. We're so confident that we'll give you a guarantee. If you show us a better offer on your car, we'll beat it by $500! This way, you can sell your used car with confidence.
4. You can negotiate with us on our offer. A lot of more significant car-selling sites don't allow negotiation at all. They give you an offer, and you can take it or leave it. But we know that not every situation is the same, and we want you to feel like you've gotten the correct value when you sell your used car.

How long does it take to sell a car?

You might be in a position where you want to sell your car as fast as possible. Ewald Chevy can help with that too! Here are some ways to get that car sold ASAP.

1. Selling through a dealership is the fastest way to sell your used car. If you don't want to go through the online process, you can bring your car in and see if we'll buy it on the spot. We especially love Chevy brands, but we'll buy any car brand!
2. You can also sell your used car yourself at a discounted price. This sale will be quick, but you'll get much less money for your car. In addition, you have to take care of the sales paperwork yourself. This extra work could take more time in the long run.
3. If you want to sell your used car fast, ensure you have all the paperwork in order. If any of it is missing, that can delay the process. Keep reading to find out what paperwork you need to sell your car.

How long should I keep a car before selling it?

The simple answer to when you should sell your car is that you should do it when you have saved enough money to purchase a replacement car, but there are other factors to consider. Here is how we evaluate if it is time to retire your car: 

• Auto Maintenance — Do the costs of maintenance exceed the resale value of the vehicle? It may be time to sell.
• Previous Planning -- Did you save enough for a replacement? 
• Good Replacement -- Have you found a dealer that you want to sell your car to, and do they have good used vehicles for sale? If you sell your car at Ewald, you can be sure that both are true. 

At what mileage should I sell my car?

The threshold for when most people begin to question whether or not to sell their car is usually around 10,000 miles of use. Mileage is just one aspect of your car's value, but some would consider ten thousand miles to be a high figure. High mileage equals lower overall value. If you have a relatively new model with low mileage, there is not much of a reason to sell unless your goal is to own the car's latest models, rather than just getting the most value and use out of each car. New cars will fetch a guaranteed buyer and a large lump sum, though! The best time to sell your car and get the best value while also getting the most use out of your car is to sell it at between 60,000 and 100,000 miles; a car's value drops significantly after 100,000 miles since buyers are less likely to consider a car in that range, even if it drives well. 

How should I prepare my car for sale?

Here are some ways to ensure that you get the most out of the sale of your car: 

• To make a good impression, deep clean your vehicle, both inside and out. The exterior could probably benefit from a wash and a fresh coat of wax, and the inside should be cleared out and vacuumed. You can get your car detailed if you don't want to clean it yourself.  
• Fix small issues by yourself
• Gather the necessary documents--this includes the title, registration, and service records, but the dealers can source the vehicle history report by themselves
• Estimate the value of your vehicle 
• Gain multiple offers
