When it Comes to Buying a New Porsche Trading in Your Old Vehicle Offers Many Advantages

Why trade in your car for a Porsche?

There are many reasons to trade in your car instead of selling it on your own. 

For starters, selling your car privately can be time-consuming and stressful. 

An easier option is to trade in your used car for a Porsche at Porsche St. Louis.

Trading in your car for a Porsche is faster, easier, and more convenient than selling your car privately. There’s no dealing with sales websites, no having to respond to emails, no showing the car, and no hassle. 

And you get to apply the value of your trade-in car toward the down payment on your new Porsche.

Here’s a look at some of the big advantages of trading your car for a new Porsche rather than selling it on your own through private channels.

It’s true. Porsche also makes bikes. Check out:It’s Not Just an Electric Bike. It’s a Porsche Electric Bike.

1. It’s easier. If you trade in your used car at a Porsche dealership, the staff will handle all the paperwork involved in the process from start to finish. However, if you decide to sell your car on your own, there’s all the back and forth plus the transaction and paperwork itself. Not fun.
2. There’s no waiting. When you trade in your old car for a new Porsche there’s no waiting and going back and forth with prospective buyers. Instead, you receive the value of your old car instantly as part of the Porsche transaction. If you sell privately be prepared for a long wait. Did you know it can take four to six weeks to complete a private transaction? That’s time valuable lost when you could have been driving your new Porsche! And we all know that time is money.
3. Unexpected savings. When you trade in your old car for a Porsche, dealerships will generally apply the appraised trade-in value to the new car you are purchasing. Overall, this allows you to pay less in sales taxes. Did you know there is often a tax advantage when you trade in your car? When you do a trade-in rather than selling it on your own, certain states’ tax laws allow the value of your old car to be deducted from the total purchase price.
4. Someone else does the hard work. To get the most value for your used car you will want to have it detailed and even re-conditioned. Buyers want their used cars to look great – fresh and clean. This type of look requires a professional detailer that can run you hundreds of dollars. But when you trade in your used car the dealer handles all of that. This saves you money, which allows you, the buyer of a new car, to make a larger down payment.

And, once you own a Porsche you’ll not only love driving your new car you’ll be ready to jump into the culture of Porsche. You can’t do that with any other car.
