The courtesy trade adds a lot of additional costs.
Before selling a vehicle, a dealer usually has to complete a vehicle inspection to ensure the car is in safe, running condition to avoid liability for repairs after the purchase. The dealer will likely charge for this inspection or any repairs it needs to make, which can alter your original selling price. The dealer also charges the buyer all applicable state and motor vehicle fees. Because the dealer must apply for and receive the title before transferring it, the process may take longer than you expected.
