Buying a new car question?

Question

Is it better to have a trade in or should I sell my current car and then goto buy the new car?

Answer 1

A trade is convenient, but you wont' get as much as when you sell it privately.

If you need a new car right away, trade it. If not, try and sell it privately, you'll get more money. Always a good thing!

Answer 2

That's a tough question. The trade in would probably be best if it's the same make, and you have semi to bad credit. Id suggest a trade in reguardless, because if you sell a car then you wont have one to use while looking to buy another. I have two chevy models and I would always do a trade in unless I was heading to a non Chevy dealership. But there's so many If, ands, and buts.

Answer 3

Sell your car if you can. You will not get anything close to your used car's value if you trade it in. If it is a difficult seller, then you can consider a trade depending on what they are willing to give you.

Answer 4

That depends on how much your time and effort is worth, plus how good you are a negotiating. If you are a good negotiator, than I would use it as trade.
