One thing Dave never mentions with cars is that if you have a loan on it and don't have the title with you that will scare alot of buyers away. It can take up to 4 weeks to receive the title after you pay off the loan. Most buyers will not be willing to give you 20k dollars if you don't have the title in hand

[@iaimforawesome]

Brendan Tuomey in this case you can go to the bank that holds the title and the buyer pays the car off in person.

[@armyretguy7365]

There’s a reason KBB gives you a value for dealers and a separate value for private sales, and the dealer is always lower. A dealer will flip it for a profit, a private buyer will drive it. If private sale is an option, always go private sale.

[@justinacase2623]

The dealers rarely offer KBB value, they offer wholesale which is way lower. They steal trades.

[@armyretguy7365]

Azzo yeah, my point though is that the values are lower for dealers to give you a lower bar to aim for, allowing dealers to make money. Trading is usually a rip, with the exception being the cash for clunkers type deal, where they guarantee 2k on anything, even if it’s towed. You know they make that up in rebates though....

[@RichardWalls]

Like anything else, you should shop around to different potential buyers. Dealers likely aren't going to give you the best deal, especially if you're also buying a car from them, as they'll mix in the trade-in value with the price they'll charge you on the new car. You could sell it on your own if you're not rushed to do so, which would net you the highest pay off if done right.

[@deanalbertson7203]

The problem with selling "private sale" is that it is a bit more risky. Selling to a random stranger, in a random location, and accepting a check that may or may not be good. Then that person may or may not register the car in their name, leaving you liable in the meanwhile. It's safer and better to sell to a reputable company.

I've always wondered about this. $3000 seems like a lot but what about all the work that goes into a private sale? Is there paperwork or title transfers and other filings that have to be done by the seller? The time involved in photographing the car, posting on a website? Are there financial risks involved (like a bounced check)? For me, the time involved involved in selling a car might be better spent on something else if it's only $3k. There is definite value in peace of mind.

[@Shadowwind4]

For you, your time might be worth more. For someone else, the 3k might be worth a lot more, just depends on each individual’s financial situation and personal preference.

[@joeb1522]

On the high end it might take 10 hours to sell. 10 hours for $3,000 is $300 per hour. Most people don't make $300 per hour. The paperwork is pretty simple from my experience in my state.

@@yamamancha I have sold my cars only accepting cash. I also owned them for a long time and they were only worth a few thousand when I sold them. I think a lot of people get financing at a bank and will get a cashiers check from a back once they do the financing. I bought a car from a private person this way. This is pretty simple. Just google your state DMV the steps to follow to sell a car. I recall you have a sales agreement. Sign over the title and give it to them. Take off the license plates. And then tell the DMV online you sold the car and who you sold it to.

Then they will go right back around and tell the person who is considering buying that used car that they are making very little profit off it and that they can't budge because they already discounted the vehicle so much already.

We bought our car from someone who had a loan. We went into the bank with them and paid cash for it and then had the title immediately switched to our name. It was easy because we all went to the same bank. We were kind of in a rush but if I did it again I would want the bank to first send the title to our local ranch so that we could pick it up as soon as we paid it off. As it was we had to wait for a few days for it to be sent to the bank and I went and picked it up but there was still some confusion because not everyone knew that the title was supposed to go to me. We did not know that the seller still owed on the vehicle when we made an offer though.

Agree- I am looking to sell my car in which I owe money and there is so much paperwork involved including odometer statement, AS-IS disclosure, among other things. I would be asking the private buyer to wait for the title.

[@mcleanirish]

The idea really is to educate everyone on the idea the caller's question is based on - should I sell to dealer or privately? The answer I think the caller was looking for was the advantages and disadvantages of each instead of merely the "why wouldn't you want to make x amount of money in a month?" thing. I'm sure the caller was smart enough not to need a lesson in money versus time. To sell privately wouldn't the caller have to spend more money in getting the car in presentable fashion? I don't think the guys insulted the caller per se but as a viewer I was curious to know some of the pros vs cons besides just the $ amount.

I bought a 2018 raptor for 51k and a dealer offered me 55k . Should I sell it. I'll be getting 9300 cash after they pay off the loan

[@Incrediblewash]

Depends you got another car?

[@---skynet---]

That large amount, good luck selling it privately without being scammed 🤣 yea dave, clean dealer cash isnt good enough 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣tool

[@YanilMiami305]

How are you getting scammed by selling it privately?

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

CAMARO SS305 Get cash at the buyers bank straight from the teller. The problem is most people don’t have the cash and this car is financed so there is no title. He really has no choice but to sell it to a dealer.

[@dzonetwentyeight]

This is so timely. I’m getting ready to sell my new car and I’m worried about potential scams on the private seller market. Any tips?

[@BusArch42]

dzonetwentyeight meet the buyer at a bank with a security guard. Have an account set up ahead of time. Have the teller deposit funds or count cash on the spot and deposit it immediately. A man tried to rip off a relative selling a car. She did the above as I suggested. He was very upset that she deposited the cash immediately as he was planning to rob her afterwards and have the car and the money. The teller can check for counterfeit or verify funds for a bank transfer. Tell the buyer that they have a notary and can sign off the sales paperwork etc for you both. Honest folks will be happy and dishonest won’t show

[@javonjones9953]

@@BusArch42 How you all find out that he was planning on robbing her?

[@BusArch42]

We didn’t know he was planning on robbing her. The red flags were there. He wanted to meet at the storage site for the trailer and he wanted to do a cash transaction. He also offered the full asking amount without trying to negotiate the price down. Then when he initially handed her the cash it had Monopoly money in the middle. He was in the bank at that point so she caught him. He said it was a joke and pulled out the real money. He tried everything to keep her from doing the transaction inside the bank.

[@denisemckenzie8286]

@@ryanweston9677 Yeah but people with that kind of cash usually buy from the dealership. Not a private owner.

[@southbayla3137]

The car will most likely sit for a year at least or longer

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Southbay LA He should sell it to the dealer for 21k. The most a private party will offer is 22k. They will have to arrange their own financing, pay off the car, and then give the title to their bank. Most of the private party buyers are actually dealers and curbstoners. The average retail buyer is either going to buy new for 26k or certified preowned for 24k. 21k is a very solid offer.

[@Raegoul]

I'm starting to understand why Dave Ramsey says no credit cards with no exceptions when I hear callers like this.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

I think that makes sense for people who barely have disposable income. For people who can just pay off their cards every month (or every two weeks in my case), the points are worth it. I get a free trip to see my in-laws in Korea every year with my Chase points.

[@Raegoul]

@@Stan_sprinkle I meant that some people are too dumb financially to use a credit card.

In general you can get 50% to 100% more than the dealer is offering by selling it to a private party.
