Selling a Car on Consignment vs Trading in a Car

For starters, both of these options include an appraisal on your vehicle. Then, the dealership takes care of advertising and selling your car as well as all of the transactions and paperwork involved. When you trade in your vehicle, typically you will receive the amount of its value off your new or used car purchase. In some cases, you may just receive a check for the amount. On the other hand, when you sell your car on consignment, you will receive its sale value after it is purchased. Consignment is most often used for exotic or rare models but can also be an option in other situations.
