Sell or Trade Your Vehicle Here

When it comes to upgrading your current vehicle or selling it outright, there are a few different paths you can take. The first is to sell it privately, which might seem like the better option until you consider the time and effort it takes, not to mention the financial and safety risks. For instance, what happens if the sale doesn't go through and you have already handed over the keys? And are you comfortable meeting with a long list of strangers for test drives on your own?

Instead of going through the process with unease, we invite you to contact a LaFontaine Automotive Group dealership. We can streamline the process and help you get the most for your vehicle, as well as assist you in finding your next one. Not only that, but our teams take the time to answer any questions you have along the way, ensuring you have all the details you need to determine your next step.

Selling Your Car to a LaFontaine Dealership

First things first, you may be wondering if you can sell your car to one of our dealerships if you aren't buying another one. The answer is yes. All we need is your vehicle title, registration, a valid ID, and any keys. Beyond that, the process is quite simple. You can visit one of our dealerships or fill out the form on our website, and a member of our team will reach out to discuss your goals and your options.

We have worked with many sellers who find themselves with an extra car they don't need, and we are sure we can help you as well. Additionally, you will find that we strive to make the process both stress- and hassle-free, while also ensuring you get a fair offer for the vehicle in question.

Selling to a Dealership vs a Private Sale

As mentioned above, there are two common paths you can take when selling your vehicle. You can work with a dealership, or you can sell it privately. While the latter might sound enticing, offering more control and the chance to make more off the sale, there are some hidden "costs" to consider, such as time, risk, and stress. Meanwhile, selling to a reputable dealership offers a faster, safer, and more convenient alternative. Not only that, but with our extensive resources, you might find that our prices are just as competitive.

Some of the other reasons why a dealership sale may be the better route are explored further below:

Convenience

In most instances, if you have decided to sell your vehicle, you likely don't have a lot of time to wait around to see what offers pop up. Not only that, but the simple act of listing it for sale can be quite time-consuming. With us, the process is simple: simply bring your vehicle in, receive an immediate appraisal, and, in many cases, close the sale that same day. There's no waiting for funds to clear or dealing with no-shows. For many, this convenience is priceless.

Safety

Meeting strangers for test drives or payment exchanges can be uncomfortable and even risky. When you sell to one of our dealerships, everything happens in a secure, professional environment. Payment is processed safely by experienced staff, and all transactions follow proper legal and financial procedures. We also ensure that title transfers are handled correctly, protecting you from potential liabilities and giving you peace of mind.

Less Paperwork, Less Stress

Selling a car requires more paperwork than you might expect, and a single mistake can lead to significant complications. By selling to us, you'll have a knowledgeable team handling these details for you. We take care of the title transfer, registration steps, and tax documentation, ensuring everything is completed accurately and efficiently. In fact, there are only three steps. All you need to do is tell us about your car, work with one of our locations, and get paid. Even better? The whole process can be completed from the comfort of your home.

Fair Appraisals

While you may have done your research and know what your vehicle is worth, the hassle of haggling with private buyers can be intimidating. Instead, we use real-time market data, local trends, and vehicle condition to provide a fair, transparent appraisal. We also take the time to explain how we determine value so you can feel confident in the offer. In other words, no haggling and no hidden agendas—just honest pricing backed by experience.

Ultimately, your time has value. By choosing to sell your car to our trusted group of dealerships, you gain efficiency, safety, and reliability—all while working with professionals who are committed to your satisfaction every step of the way.

Trading In Your Vehicle

If you're planning to buy another vehicle, selling to a dealership can often lead to added tax advantages. Instead of receiving a lump sum, your car's trade-in value can be applied directly to your new purchase, potentially lowering your sales tax. Even if you're not ready to buy yet, the dealerships within our automotive group can still offer a competitive cash or check payment on the spot.

You will also find that we make the trade-in process quick and simple. You can reach out to us online or visit one of our many locations throughout the state. Once you do, we will respond with your options and answer any questions you have to ensure you get the details you need to make an informed decision.
