in Ontario<\/h3><p>It\u2019s also possible to sell your used car to a dealership in Ontario. Not only can you make a quick sale, but you can also avoid the hassle of meeting people and booking test drives with strangers. That said, make sure you know the value of your car and ensure that it\u2019s in pristine condition to get a good price.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re looking to sell a car to a dealership in Ontario, here are a couple of things to consider.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Value and year: <\/strong>Find out the value of your car using Kelley Blue Book or CARFAX, sites that specializes in car valuations. Knowing the value based on the age and mileage of your car will go a long way to getting a good price. Of course, if your vehicle has any issues, such as dents or broken parts, then you can\u2019t expect to get the estiamted value.<\/li><li><strong>Car repair and detail:<\/strong> Repairing the windshield, fixing dents and dealing with other cosmetic damages will bring a higher dollar value.<\/li><li><strong>Choosing the right dealer:<\/strong> You can sell your vehicle to your original dealer or to a dealer\u2019s network. Dealers look at the vehicle\u2019s condition, aftermarket modifications, mechanical issues, year and mileage as well as maintenance history and current market conditions to determine a sale price.<\/li><\/ul><h3>How much should I sell my car for in Ontario?<\/h3><p>There are 4 ways to figure out how much your car may be worth in Ontario:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Car value estimate sites.<\/strong> Examples include Kelley Blue Book, Canadian Black Book and CARFAX. You\u2019ll need to input details about your car, such as the VIN, year, make, model, kilometres and postal code.<\/li><li><strong>Online dealers.<\/strong> Online dealers like Clutch, Canada Drives and CarDoor buy cars. Visit their sites to get an offer for your car at no cost.<\/li><li><strong>Marketplaces.<\/strong> You can check out marketplaces like AutoTrader and Kijiji to find cars that are similar to yours.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Tips for how to sell a car in Ontario<\/h3><p>To ensure that you get the smoothest experience and top dollar when selling your car in Ontario, consider the following tips:<\/p><h4><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/h4><p>Not many people want a fixer-upper, so do your best to get your vehicle ready for sale. This includes fixing affordable nicks and dents.<\/p><p>You should also make sure the vehicle is clean. Getting your car detailed before you list it can help it look much more appealing and indicate to buyers that you\u2019ve taken care of the car in the past.<\/p><p>Take many high quality photos from different angles of both the exterior and interior. Take a picture of the dashboard that clearly shows the odometer. Try to shoot on a slightly cloudy day so that direct sunlight doesn\u2019t wash out your pictures but there\u2019s still enough light to see details. Make a 360\u00b0 video if you can.<\/p><h4><strong>Listing<\/strong><\/h4><p>Finding the right place to list your vehicle will help determine how much you get paid. While you might get less money if you\u2019re selling directly to a dealership, it can save you time. On the other hand, you might get a slightly higher price if you\u2019re selling it privately, especially if you\u2019re selling a specialty car.<\/p><p>Make sure to include a detailed list of all of your car\u2019s features. It\u2019s also important to be transparent in your listing about any existing issues with the car. Clearly show the make, model, series, year, number of kilometres and whether the vehicle is manual or automatic.<\/p><h4><strong>Timeline<\/strong><\/h4><p>If you\u2019re in a rush to sell the car, selling your vehicle to a dealership might be better than a private sale. Again, this depends on the quality of the car and the make and model. Otherwise, if you can afford to take your time selling your car in Ontario, you might get a better price selling it privately.<\/p><h3>Where to sell a used car in Ontario<\/h3><p>Below is a sample of online and in-person dealers that are looking to buy used cars in Ontario, plus their locations. You don\u2019t need to trade in a vehicle.<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/online-car-dealers-canada\/clutch-review\">Clutch<\/a> (will pick up the car from your home)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/canada-drives-review\">Canada Drives<\/a> (will pick up the car from your home)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/online-car-dealers-canada\/cardoor-review\">CarDoor<\/a> (will pick up the car from your home)<\/li><li>Car Nation Canada (Burlington and Brantford)<\/li><li>Prio Auto Sales (Ottawa)<\/li><li>Myers Automotive Group (Ottawa)<\/li><li>Ridebuyers.ca (Greater Toronto Area)<\/li><li>Azores Auto Group (Greater Toronto Area)<\/li><li>Good Fellow\u2019s Auto Wholesalers (Greater Toronto Area)<\/li><li>Pro Drive Auto Sales (Greater Toronto Area)<\/li><\/ul><h3>Can I sell a used car with a loan on it in Ontario?<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/sell-used-car\/sell-financed-car\">Selling a financed car<\/a> in Ontario is possible. However, many Canadians look for vehicles that don\u2019t have loans attached. If you still owe money on your vehicle and you fail to pay off your loan, the lender can repossess it, even if you sold it to someone else. Generally, it\u2019s best to try to pay off your loan before selling it. If you can\u2019t afford this, you can use the money you were paid for the car to pay off your lender.<\/p><h3>Should I trade in my car instead?<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re looking to upgrade your vehicle, there are some definite perks to partnering with a dealership for a trade-in rather than selling your car privately in Ontario. A dealer applies the trade-in value for your existing car to the price of your new car. If you still owe money on your existing car loan, the dealer can include that outstanding balance to your new car loan and refinance the amount.<\/p><p>Trading in your car is often a much quicker process than selling it yourself. You don\u2019t have to wait for a buyer and the dealership handles all of the paperwork. You can also save money in sales tax on your new vehicle, because you\u2019ll only be charged tax on the cost of your new vehicle after the trade-in value has been applied.<\/p><p>That said, you can often get a higher price when you sell your car privately in Ontario than you would in a trade-in. Considering these pros and cons, you\u2019ll need to weigh your priorities to decide whether a trade-in or private sale is right for you.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Selling a used car privately in Ontario is different from selling a used car to a dealership. Selling a used car to a dealership is easier since you won\u2019t need to provide as many documents, haggle with strangers, book test drives or deal with tire kickers.
