Got an offer from CarMax or Carvana? Before you sell your vehicle, make sure you’re not leaving money on the table.

Depending on your state’s tax laws, trading your vehicle toward your next purchase could actually put more money in your pocket, even if the dealership offers you LESS than CarMax or Carvana!

The highest offer isn’t always the best financial decision. You need to look at the entire transaction, including potential sales tax savings.

One of the most expensive mistakes car buyers make is confusing a payment they’re comfortable with for a good deal.

You find a vehicle you love, decide what you’d be willing to pay each month, and the dealership comes back with a payment that fits your budget. You’re happy, you sign, and you drive away convinced you got a great deal.

But did you?

What if that same vehicle, with the exact same terms, could have been $50, $75, or even $100 less per month?

Just because you can afford the payment doesn’t mean you negotiated a good deal.

Your willingness to pay is NOT a measurement of the quality of the deal.

Think about your last vehicle purchase. Did you actually know you were getting a competitive deal, or were you just happy with the payment?

How much is buying LOCAL worth to you?

I represent car buyers all over the country, and one of the most common requests I get is, “I’d really like to buy from my local dealership if possible.”

And I completely understand that. Supporting local businesses matters. Building relationships in your community matters.

But where do you draw the line?

If your local dealership is $100 more expensive, do you stay local?

What about $500? $1,000? $2,500?

What if another dealership 100 miles away offers you the exact same vehicle for thousands less?

At what point does supporting your local dealership become costing yourself too much money?

I want an actual dollar amount in the comments. How much MORE are you willing to pay to buy local?

We leased our new driver a brand-new vehicle.

$300/month for 36 months = $10,800.

The other option? Spend roughly $10,000 on a used car from Facebook Marketplace.

Yes, at the end of the lease we give the car back. But for those three years, she’s driving a brand-new vehicle with modern safety technology, a factory warranty, and very little concern about major repairs.

That $10,000 used car might still be worth something in three years. It also might need thousands in repairs along the way, and there’s no guarantee I even get three reliable years out of it.

For me, especially with my daughter behind the wheel, the math wasn’t the only consideration.

What would you do?

LEASE the new driver a brand-new car for $300/month?

Or BUY the $10,000 used car?

Tell me why in the comments.
