Does this sound like you?

"Should I try to sell my current vehicle, or should I trade it in?"
"I was really disappointed when the dealer told me what he would give me for my trade. I'm not sure what I should do."
"I need to get the best deal I can, so I think I'll have to sell my car myself."

Who hasn't wrestled their way through these and other questions. Buying a car, truck, or SUV is an important decision. And for most of us our current vehicle plays a big part in that decision.

Every good deal has three essentials.

• The right vehicle
• The right price
• The right time

We at Edwards are committed to finding a great deal for you. Should a trade-in be part of your deal? Does this sound like you? Keep track of your "No" responses.

1. I can wait two months or more.
2. I don't mind follow-up calls from the person who buys my car.
3. I can give up a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars in sales taxes (WI residents especially).
4. I'm competent with any legal responsibility I have related to selling a vehicle.
5. I want the highest gross payout I can get.
6. I'm comfortable advertising and listing my vehicle.
7. I can work around random phone calls and test drives.
8. I'm confident I can transfer my insurance, title, and plates on my own.
9. I'm comfortable having strangers in the proximity of my home.
10. I enjoy selling.

Think of the above as a test. What's your score? That's how likely you'll be satisfied with your ability to sell your car on your own.
