Best Place To Sell My Car in SoCal

jpy1980 · 06-16-2021, 04:55 PM

I’m thinking of selling my car fora different experience. May go electric. Yet my biggest issue is the trade in value. Anyone know which dealers or companies in SoCal give the highest trade in value? My car is a bit modified so not sure what that would do for the value but ultimately, I’d want somewhere close to $43k. Not sure if that’s feasible. Thoughts?

Thinking about taking it to Carmax or the Tesla dealer, but if anyone else knows another place, LMK!

Private Party will typically be the best bet but have you tried carvana and other online dealers?

Thanks for the suggestions! The only reason I didn’t go with any online places was because of the mods. Not sure how to quantify those on the websites

Remove the mods and see what carvana offers you. I always got better offers from them than anyone else besides selling private party.

I prefer not to remove the mods as I didn’t keep the stock parts, namely my EDC suspension. I’ll just take it in to Tesla and Carmax for a trade in value and see what they say.

Didnt keep the OEM hood? What color is underneath the wrap? As id be interested in the GTS one

petar7408 · 06-17-2021, 10:57 AM

side question, how much did that full wrap cost ya?

jpy1980 · 06-17-2021, 11:29 AM

Did the wrap myself. Made a post and it was on the front page for awhile. Check it out.

I have the original hood, the color is mineral white.

Not interested in a part out.

Try Autonation, they gave me the best buyout prices for my car when I checked online compared to everyone else.

Didn't end up selling but was tempted...

I was offered a little over 38k recently for my 2015 DCT 61,xxx miles with Executive and Adaptive and HK. My MSRP was 79k.

I tried truecar recently to get an estimate. Truecar uses their network for local dealers to get you a price locally. It was better than Vroom, Carvana and Shift, but I tried truecar about a month after those online dealers so that might be the reason truecar price was better.

Let me know if you'd be interested in parting out the headlights. I can do the labor and give you me Xenons + cash. Local to you 90025.
I have EDC suspension as well if you need it, I might be ok to trade depending on what you're lowered on right now.

Carmax is definitely worth your time to get a quote
