The Downside of Part Exchanging With a Dealer

Part-exchanging your car with a dealership might seem the most convenient option when buying a new vehicle. However, this seemingly straightforward process often leaves you with a less-than-ideal deal.

Here’s why you should consider exploring alternative options:

  1. Low Offers Dealerships are notorious for starting their trade-in offers low. They often use automated valuation tools that may not accurately reflect your car’s true market value.
  2. Limited Negotiation Room Your negotiation power significantly diminishes once you’ve agreed to part exchange. Dealerships have less incentive to increase their trade-in offer since you’re already buying your new car from them.
  3. Loss of Control Part exchanging means relinquishing control over the selling process. You have little say in the final sale price, timing, and marketing of your car. All things which can increase it’s resale value.
  4. Outstanding Finance? No Problem If you still owe money on your current car, don’t feel pressured to part exchange with the dealership. AutoVIP can help you clear any outstanding finances, giving you more flexibility.
  5. Keeping Your Private Plate? We Can Help If you want to keep your private number plate and transfer it to your new car, AutoVIP can handle this seamlessly.
  6. Don’t Trust the Badge Just because a dealership displays a manufacturer’s badge doesn’t guarantee a fair deal. AutoVIP offers a faster payment process, putting the money in your bank before we ask for your keys.
  7. Stronger Negotiating Position Selling your car privately or to a specialist like AutoVIP puts you in a much stronger position to negotiate a better price on your next vehicle.
