A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Will a dealer buy my car even if I'm not buying from them?
Yes. Most franchised dealers will purchase a vehicle outright without requiring you to buy a replacement car from them. They do this because they need used inventory for their certified pre-owned programs. You walk in, they appraise the car, and if you accept the offer they write you a check. The experience is similar to selling to CarMax. Independent dealers and used car lots also buy outright. Where the pressure tactics tend to emerge is when a salesperson uses the trade-in as leverage to sell you a new vehicle simultaneously, bundling both deals in ways that make it harder to evaluate each separately.

I am a 79 year old man. So by this time I have had plenty of cars and dealings with car salesmen/brokers. Vantage Auto Group is far above the rest. Their responsiveness and aim to please the customer is incredibly rare. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying or leasing a vehicle,
