A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
How long does it take to sell a car to a dealership?
Selling your car to a dealership typically takes 1-3 hours from walk-in to payment, depending on how busy the dealer is and whether they need to process a lien payoff. The appraisal itself usually takes 15-30 minutes. Negotiation, paperwork, and waiting for a check or electronic transfer adds another 30-60 minutes. If there is an outstanding loan on the vehicle, dealers often mail the payoff to your lender within a few business days rather than issuing instant payment on the net equity, which can extend the final settlement timeline by 3-7 business days.

I've loved working with Vantage for my last two cars. It's so much better than having to go to multiple dealerships and haggle to get the right make, model and price you're looking for. Their customer service and quick turnaround to getting a car delivered to your door is incredible. Highly recommend them for your car shopping needs!!

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!

I rarely write any reviews, I do find it necessary that I write one this time.I haven't purchased a new vehicle for quite some time. When I decided to move forward I dreaded the thought of having to go through the process of dealing with multiple dealerships, gathering quotes etc. and having to deal with pushy, non-transparent sales and finance people. Don't get me wrong, not all dealerships are that way or have staff looking to make big profit margins. If you've bought or leased any vehicle, you know those sales and finance guys are out there looking to make the absolute most profit possible. They get you going this way and that way. That's their business, to make money, I get that but the frustration, time and effort just isn't worth it to me.So, with that said, I was told by Brandon an employee of Vantage Auto Group to give them a try. Tommy C. was my contact and I have to say, from day one this was the best experience I had ever had with purchasing a new vehicle. No hassle, no frustration, no running back and forth to dealerships. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism, transparency in order to satisfy the customer (Me). Aside from a minor setback which was corrected immediately, Tommy came through with the new truck that I was looking for. Hassle free, I received delivery even with a little parting gift which was very much appreciated.I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend using Vantage Auto Group for your next lease or purchase of a new/used vehicle.Thanks again Tommy and All at Vantage Auto GroupA Happy customerAndy

Smoothest car transaction I’ve ever experienced. Quick, yet detailed, responses to all my questions. It’s a process I always dread but Sean made it seem so easy and more affordable. Highly recommend
