Thinking about selling your car, truck, or SUV? You have more options than ever. You can list it yourself, answer messages from strangers, schedule test drives, negotiate with private buyers, or enter your vehicle information into one of the large online car-buying websites. But there is another option that can be much easier: Sell your vehicle directly to Milnes Chevrolet in Imlay City — even if you are not buying another vehicle from us. That last part is important. You Do Not Have to Buy a Vehicle to Sell Us Yours A lot of people still think dealerships only want their vehicle if they are trading it toward another purchase. That is not the case at Milnes Chevrolet. We buy vehicles outright. No purchase necessary. If you have a Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Jeep, Ram, Toyota, Honda, Buick, Cadillac or another make, bring it to us. We are looking for quality pre-owned inventory, and your current vehicle may be exactly what we need. You can sell us your car and walk away without purchasing anything. Simple. Before You Sell It to a Computer, Give Your Local Dealer 20 Minutes Online car-buying companies have made selling a vehicle convenient, and there is nothing wrong with comparing offers. In fact, we think you should. But before you accept an online offer, give Milnes Chevrolet an opportunity to look at your vehicle in person. Why? Because a computer-generated value does not always tell the whole story. Your vehicle may have: Excellent service history Low mileage Desirable equipment A popular color Newer tires Extra options Exceptional condition Features that are particularly valuable in our local market We can actually see the vehicle, evaluate it and make you a real offer based on the vehicle sitting in front of us. Before you sell it to a computer, give your local dealer 20 minutes. You may be surprised. Get a Real Offer — Not Just an Online Estimate When you bring your vehicle to Milnes Chevrolet, our team can physically inspect it and determine what we are willing to pay for it. There is no guessing about whether we have seen the scratches, tires, interior condition or equipment. We look at the actual vehicle. Then we make an offer. If the numbers work for you, great. If they do not, you are under no obligation to sell. That is why we want the process to feel more like a conversation than a sales pitch. We Buy All Makes and Models You do not need to own a Chevrolet. Milnes Chevrolet purchases pre-owned vehicles from many manufacturers. So whether you are selling a: Chevrolet Silverado Ford F-150 GMC Sierra Ram 1500 Jeep Wrangler Toyota RAV4 Honda CR-V Buick Envision Cadillac XT5 Or something completely different we would still like the opportunity to appraise it. Our used-vehicle inventory comes from more than trade-ins. Buying vehicles directly from local owners gives us another way to find quality vehicles for our customers. What If You Still Owe Money on Your Vehicle? You may still be able to sell it. If your vehicle has a loan, Milnes Chevrolet can work through the payoff as part of the transaction. For example, imagine your vehicle is worth $28,000 and you still owe $20,000. After the loan payoff is handled, you would have approximately $8,000 in positive equity remaining, subject to the final transaction details. That money belongs to you. You do not have to roll it into another vehicle purchase. What If Your Vehicle Is Worth Less Than the Loan Balance? That situation is called negative equity. If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, our team can explain the numbers clearly so you know exactly where you stand. The point is that having a loan does not mean you should automatically assume that you cannot sell your vehicle. Let us look at the numbers first. Skip the Hassle of Selling It Yourself Selling a vehicle privately can sometimes bring a strong price, but it also comes with work. You may have to: Take photos Write an advertisement Post the vehicle online Answer dozens of messages Deal with people asking, “Is this still available?” Schedule meetings Allow strangers to test-drive your vehicle Negotiate Verify payment Complete title paperwork Handle loan payoff issues Some people are perfectly comfortable doing all of that. Others would rather be done with the process quickly. That is where selling directly to Milnes Chevrolet can make a lot of sense. Local People Instead of a Completely Online Transaction There is also something to be said for doing business locally. Milnes Chevrolet is right here in Imlay City. You can walk into the dealership, talk to an actual person, show us your vehicle and ask questions face-to-face. There is no mystery about who is buying your vehicle or where the transaction is taking place. For many sellers, that makes the process considerably more comfortable. What If Another Company Offered Me More? Bring us the information. We are not going to tell you that another offer is automatically bad just because it came from somewhere else. If someone has made you a strong offer, we understand why you would consider it. But give us the opportunity to inspect the vehicle ourselves and see what we can do. Sometimes the difference between two offers may not be as large as it first appears. Sometimes we may be able to improve our number. And sometimes another offer really may be the better financial decision. Our goal is to earn the opportunity to buy your vehicle — not pressure you into accepting an offer that does not make sense for you. How the Milnes Chevrolet Vehicle-Selling Process Works The process is designed to be straightforward. 1. Bring Us Your Vehicle Contact Milnes Chevrolet or stop in and let us know you are interested in selling your vehicle. 2. We Appraise It Our team will inspect the vehicle, review its condition and equipment and determine its value. 3. We Make You an Offer You decide whether the offer works for you. 4. If You Accept, We Handle the Transaction If there is a loan, we can work through the payoff process. If you have positive equity, you receive the difference according to the terms of the transaction. And then you are done. No need to buy another vehicle. No private-party test drives. No weeks of answering messages. Selling Your Car and Buying Your Next One Are Two Separate Decisions There is another important distinction we want customers to understand. You do not have to purchase a vehicle from Milnes Chevrolet in order for us to buy yours. However, if you eventually decide that you do want another vehicle, there are additional reasons to consider buying it from Milnes Chevrolet. One of those is Deductible Defender. Buying From Milnes Chevrolet? Ask About Deductible Defender When you purchase a qualifying vehicle from Milnes Chevrolet, you can receive up to $1,000 in deductible coverage during your first year of ownership through Deductible Defender. That means an unexpected insurance claim — such as an accident or deer collision — may not have to mean immediately coming up with the entire deductible yourself, subject to program terms and eligibility. Learn more about Deductible Defender here: https://www.milneschevy.com/deductible-defender.html Important: Deductible Defender is a vehicle-purchase benefit. You do not receive Deductible Defender simply for selling Milnes Chevrolet your vehicle. We want that distinction to be completely clear. Why Sell Your Car to Milnes Chevrolet? Because the process can be: Easy. Local. Fast. Straightforward. You can get a real appraisal from real people without committing to another vehicle purchase. We buy all makes and models. We can work with vehicles that still have loans. If you have positive equity, you receive the difference. And you do not have to spend your evenings answering Marketplace messages from someone asking whether you will take half your asking price and deliver the vehicle three counties away. We Want Your Car If you have been considering selling your car, truck or SUV, start with one simple step: Give Milnes Chevrolet a chance to buy it. Before you accept an online offer, give your local dealer 20 minutes. Bring us the vehicle. Let us look at it. Let us make you an offer. Then you decide. Sell Your Vehicle to Milnes Chevrolet Milnes Chevrolet 6241 Van Dyke Rd., Imlay City, MI 48444 Phone: 810-724-0561 Website: https://www.milneschevy.com/ No purchase necessary to sell us your vehicle. And if you decide it is also time for something new, ask us about the additional ownership benefits available when you buy from Milnes Chevrolet — including Deductible Defender.
