Sell Us Your Car

The Easy and Straightforward Way to Sell Your Car

Westminster drivers looking to sell their car can do it quickly and easily right here at Faith's Toyota. We take all types of vehicles from most manufacturers, not just Toyota. Whether your car is on the older side or a couple of years old, we can make you an offer for it.

How the Process Works

When you want to sell a car, some ways of doing it can be tricky, time-consuming, and overwhelming, which just leaves you exhausted by the end of it, if you're even able to find a buyer. At Faith's Toyota, we make the process easy. We're always here to answer questions you have, but this step-by-step guide should help give you an idea of what to expect:

Get a Value Estimate: Use our online valuation calculator to get an idea of what your trade-in is worth. This gives you an idea of the ballpark that the car, truck, or SUV you're trying to sell will be in. 

In-Person Appraisal: Once you get an estimate on the value of your vehicle, visit our lot so one of our professionals can do an in-person appraisal of its condition. We look at the exterior and interior of the vehicle to see if there is any major damage, and we also check how it drives to ensure it's in good working order. 

Get Your Offer: After the inspection, we'll prepare the actual offer for you. There are a few things you can do to ensure you're getting the most out of your offer. It's a good idea to clean out and make any necessary repairs to your car because vehicles that are "lot-ready" will typically garner a better offer.

Sign the Paperwork: When you accept the offer, we'll draft up the paperwork so you can be paid. This typically involves you signing over the title to us, as well. 

The Benefits of Selling to Faith's Toyota

You might be wondering why you should sell your car to a dealership vs pursuing a private sale. For starters, it's easy, there is no risk to you, and it provides the best value.

Speed and "Same-Day" Certainty

The valuation, appraisal, and completion of the sale can all happen on the same day. This means you won't have to bother with listing your vehicle through a third party, waiting for interested parties to message you, and hosting private meetings to show your vehicle. You won't have to haggle over a price, either; you'll get a fair market value and be done with it before dinner. 

Liability and Paperwork Relief

If you opt for a private sale, you have to handle the title transfer, bill of sale, and release of liability with the DMV yourself. This is tedious, and if the buyer becomes unhappy, they may try to hold you legally responsible for any issues that crop up after the sale. When you sell a vehicle to a dealer, you avoid this risk entirely because the vehicle is sold "as-is."

Safety and Security 

When you sell to a dealership, there is no need to meet privately with strangers, which can be a huge risk to your personal safety and the security of your vehicle. This means not giving out your address to people you don't know or going out of your way to meet with someone who may not be trustworthy. This ensures physical and financial safety for you.

Ease of Trading In 

There is also no push to trade in your vehicle; you can just sell it for money. However, if you do want to trade in your car toward your next vehicle purchase, we have a great inventory to choose from. If you do choose to trade your vehicle, the value is quickly and simply attributed to the down payment of the vehicle you're looking to buy.

Handling Existing Loans (Negative Equity) 

If you're selling or trading a vehicle that you still owe money on, you can't hand over a clean title until the bank is paid, which makes a private sale extremely difficult. We can handle the payoff process directly and properly with your lender. If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, we can usually roll that negative equity into your next loan, getting you in the driver's seat of the car you want.
