is it worthy to sell my car to a dealer?

Jestine Osumi: Your car may meet the criteria for the CARS program or Cash for Clunkers. You could receive up to $4500 off the purchase of a new car.

Rolanda Merritt: Yes, that is what it means.Just to explain it a little more to you when you sell your car to a dealership they will give you a trade in value. And yes,this will give you a discount on the new vehicle you will be purchasing from them.Now keep in mind the trade in value they will offer you is always less than the blue book value of the car ( this is what the car is worth) You are better off selling the car yourself to someone in your area. You will make more money most of the time this way. Check out Craigslist.com. You can sell your car for free using this website. Then after you sell the car go to the dealership and purchase a car. Or check out Craigslist for cars for sale. You can find very good deals on cars for sale....Show more
