Sell My Car
If you're in the middle of a search that started with typing "sell my car," there's a good chance you're overwhelmed by all of your choices. Not only are there many different ways to sell your vehicle, but many of them are risky and complicated. Just reading about all the requirements for posting your car on a private forum and the paperwork needed to transfer ownership can be exhausting!
If you're looking for a simpler solution, you've come to the right place. When you sell your car to us at LaFontaine Buick GMC Dearborn, not only will you get a fair price, but you'll also enjoy a smooth, swift, and safe process.
We're Ready to Buy Your Car Now
When you're selling your car privately, the first step is finding a buyer. That's not always as simple as it seems, though. Not everyone is willing to pay a fair price for your vehicle, so you might have to sift through dozens of lowball offers. Worse than that, you have to be on edge, making sure that no one reaching out to you is an outright scammer.
Even if everything goes smoothly, it can take time. When you're selling to another individual, the stars need to align just so: someone in your area has to be looking for the kind of model you're selling at the right time. On top of that, it's a lot of work; you need to make sure you know what you're doing, get your car perfectly presentable, and fill out a lot of paperwork.
Selling your car to us is a whole different story. We're a trusted family business and a part of the community; you can rest assured that we will dot all the i's and cross the t's and give you a fair deal. Our team will be by your side every step of the way, helping with the paperwork and doing whatever we can to take the burden off you.
If you have any questions along the way, we'll be happy to answer them. And since we can keep your vehicle on our lot until the right buyer comes along, we can buy it right away so you can move on to something newer that better suits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling
Q: Can I sell my car here even if I'm not buying a car here?
A: Yes! Here at LaFontaine Buick GMC Dearborn, you can choose between cash or trade-in credit, and you'll get the same value either way.
Q: Are there benefits to trading in instead of just selling?
A: While we'll offer you the same value for your car whether you trade it in or sell it for cash, there is still a benefit to trading in: you'll get a tax benefit that can save you money on your purchase.
Q: What do I need to sell my car?
A: All you need to get an offer for your car is the information we ask for on our trade-in form, but once it's time to actually complete the sale, you'll need to make sure everything here is present:
- All of the car's titleholders
- Your car's title or payoff information
- Valid and current registrations
- Valid state-issued photo ID for all title holders.
- All keys and remotes
Q: How do I get paid for my car?
A: If you're getting a trade-in credit, then you'll simply apply the value of your old car to the value of your next one. If you'd prefer to cash out, we'll send you home with a bank draft for the full value on the same day you sell us your car.
Q: How can I get the most for my car?
A: We accept vehicles in a wide range of conditions, since we have a team of skilled technicians on staff who can take care of refreshing and refurbishing the models we buy before making them available for sale. But if you want the highest possible offer, it's a good idea to give it a thorough cleaning and make it look its best. Having maintenance records on hand to prove that your car is in good condition is also a smart idea, though it's not required.
Trade Your Car, Upgrade to Something New
While we're happy to simply buy your car and send you on your way if that's what you prefer, it can be a smart idea to simply trade in your car and buy something new at the same time.

We make financing your next car as easy as selling your current one. You can apply for financing here on our website right now and get the ball rolling.
