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.

David always gets me the best deal, provides outstanding service and peace of mind the transaction is always done right. Don't go to the dealer, go to Vantage Auto Group and ask for David Goldstein-he's the guy!

My experience with Vantage Auto Group was wonderful! I unexpectedly had to get a new car and I was nervous about the process, but they made it extremely convenient, promptly found multiple options for me to choose from within my price range, went above and beyond to help me get the best interest rate when I eventually made my purchase, and delivered the new car right to my door! All of my questions and concerns were answered quickly and fully along the way, and I never once got the “icky car salesman” feeling that you might expect when making a big purchase like this. Sean U was my main contact and I can’t thank him enough for all of his hard work to help me find the perfect car. Purchasing a car through Vantage was a refreshingly seamless experience and I highly recommend using them for all of your car needs!
