Thinking of Trading in Your Car? Think Again.

Why settle for a dealer’s “wholesale price” when you could pocket thousands more by selling it yourself?

Why letting the dealer take it leaves money on the table

• Dealers are in the business of buying low and selling high. That means the trade-in offer is almost always well below market value.
 
• Every time you “trade-in” you’re giving up your equity — the difference between what your car is “worth” and what the dealer is willing to give you. They WANT your equity and they act like they are doing you a favor by taking your car on trade. Bullshit!!

Let Me Help You Sell Your Used Car — the Smart Way

With my Retail Detail System, I’ll show you exactly how to sell your ride for maximum money in minimum time. Safely, confidently, and without the stress.

You don’t need a dealership… You need a plan.

And I’ve got one…

Here’s How It Works

Step 1:
Know What Your Vehicle Is Really Worth

We start with the truth. NOT the “trade-in number” they hope you’ll settle for — the real retail value that buyers are paying in your market right now.

I’ll tell you:

  • How many cars like yours are for sale in your area—and what sellers are asking for them.
  • You’ll discover what cars like yours really sold for in the last 30 days.
  • How to price your car with confidence, and keep your cash where it belongs—in your pocket.

Step 2:
Professional-Grade Shine. Done for You.

If your car doesn’t pop, it sits. I’ll make it shine so it commands attention — and top dollar.
 
That’s where the Retail Detail comes in.

Your car will go through my signature Retail Detail System. The exact process I’ve perfected over 30+ years. I’ll make sure buyers see your car the way you want them to — proud of it, confident in it, and excited to take it for that first test drive.

Step 3:
Advertise Like a Pro — Without Breaking the Bank

Forget wasting money on ads that go nowhere.

I’ll show you where to post, how to write the perfect listing, and the exact photo angles that make people stop scrolling and start calling.

We’ll use:

  • Facebook Marketplace
  • Craigslist
  • Autotrader
  • High-traffic parking strategies that turn heads

Step 4:
Paperwork, Payoff, and Peace of Mind

Together we’ll make sure your deal is airtight:

  • All service records organized in a clean, confidence-boosting folder.
  • Payoff letters, title prep, and bill of sale ready to go.
  • Step-by-step guidance for safe payment and clean title transfer… no surprises.

When it’s time to hand over the keys, everything will be smooth, fast, and safe.

No service records? No problem. I’ll show you how to win buyer confidence fast.

Step 5:
Master the Negotiation

I’ll coach you on what to say when buyers ask:

  • “What’s your bottom line?”
  • “Why are you selling it?”
  • “Can you take payments?”

You’ll learn how to turn every objection into an opportunity and how to close with confidence.

You’ll sound like a pro, even if it’s your first time selling.

Fast. Confident. Profitable.

Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or just ready to move on, I’ll help you sell your car quickly, safely, and for top dollar. Without the dealer games.
