If you’re considering
selling your car in Houston, TX, you should know about the extra effort that selling privately requires. Trading in is usually easier and simpler. Read on to learn when to bring your car into Joe Myers Mazda for an appraisal.
When Should I Sell Privately?
Selling your car privately can be a good idea, but only if you’re ready to put in the work or already have a connection. If you don’t already have a buyer in mind, selling privately means placing ads, reaching out, and other extra work. You will probably also have to pay more sales tax on the deal, but if you know a buyer who will pay enough to offset the costs, this avenue may be worth it.
When Should I Trade In?
If you’re looking to buy a new car, trading in your old model is the better path. If you trade in, you don’t have to worry about not finding the right buyer for a car, and you can use the value as a down payment for your new model. There’s also a major tax advantage: sales tax is calculated on the car’s cost after the trade-in is taken out.
