Apple Ford Shakopee

If we’re being honest, and we always are, we know at some point you’ve probably been told not to sell your car to a dealership. We also are well aware of the reputation our industry has earned, which is why we’ve worked so hard since ‘93 to be a welcome contrast to our competition. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t disclose the fine print, lowballs your trade, or has you paying more for your lease, that’s none of our business. But if you’re looking for a place with no hidden agendas, no negotiation, and total transparency, that is our business.

 

Now, whether you’re planning to buy a new car or just get rid of your current one, selling your car to Apple Autos pays off both in the long and short.

 

What to Expect

Simplicity in its finest form. We’ve made the selling process as easy as 1-2-3. And the best part, is you get to decide exactly how it goes. Whether you want to do it all from your couch or want the personal touch of an expert in store, we’ve got you covered.

 

Step 1: You get an offer – Just tell us a little about ole reliable (online or in-store)

Step 2: We pick up your vehicle (or you can drop it off)

Step 3: You get Paid – After a quick, on-site review, we’ll either cut the check or hand you keys to your new whip

 

Tips for selling your car to a dealer

As easy as it already is, there are some things to note on your end that will make the process even better!

 

What to bring

  1. Title or payoff info on your vehicle
  2. State issued photo ID
  3. All keys, remotes and owner’s manuals (failure to provide these may result in an adjusted final offer)

 

What’s the deal with used car value calculators?

 

Now, we know that you know there are a number of sites with used car valuation tools, such as Kelley Blue Book, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), and Consumer Reports. While these quick-fix calculators are useful and make you feel as though you’re a professional car appraiser, they are meant to be used merely for general guidance.

Additionally, the importance of honesty can’t be overstated. Your faded leather seats and squeaky breaks might feel nostalgic to you, but odds are not anyone else. So be real with your car. Don’t stamp a “Good” value on a “Generous Fair” beater.

 

What Makes Apple Autos Different

 

At Apple Autos, we believe the value of the car you trade in is based on the current market value, not the vehicle you want to buy. That’s why we have an interactive trade evaluation process designed to ensure you get every penny you deserve on a trade-in vehicle. No unfair negotiation, just truthful documentation. We sell a lot of used vehicles, and we’ll purchase yours even if you don’t purchase ours.

 

We know you’re smart. So, giving you what your trade-in is actually worth—is worth it to us. Treating you with clarity and honesty when servicing your vehicle is the right thing to do. After all, the value of your trust is worth more to us in the long run.

 

The bottom line is, selling your car to Apple Autos not only means getting top, honest dollar, but also the path of least resistance.
