NFT: NFT: Best way to get rid of three cars

VaGman : 6/3/2024 3:24 pm
All run well. Descriptions are of body and interior.
2004 Honda Odyssey 124,000mi. (Fair to good)
2010 Hyundai Elantra 127,000mi. (Fair to good)
2008 Hyundai Elantra 87,500mi. (Good to excellent).

We want to replace them all with a medium SUV.
Trade in? Car Max? Donate? I really don’t wanna sell them myself.
I appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
Go Big Blue!!
if you don't want to sell them yourself  
Giantsfan79 : 6/3/2024 3:30 pm : link
taking them to CarMax and taking what they offer or donating would seem to be your two options.

I sold one through CarMax  
Eli Wilson : 6/3/2024 3:35 pm : link
They gave me more than the dealer was willing to on trade-in.
I sold a car  
Enzo : 6/3/2024 3:36 pm : link
via Carvana a few months ago. It was extremely easy.
Remember donating only gets you a deduction  
BillT : 6/3/2024 3:38 pm : link
Net it’s your tax rate x the deduction. Trade in the best one against your new car and “Carmax” the others. And lots of dealers are looking fo used cars. The market is good. Look around.
I’ll be in VA in a month

I’ll take one off your hands.

Also the rules are much stricter than they used be. A while back you could claim blue book value as a deduction. Now you can only claim what the charity sells the car for at auction (which is what usually happens). The auction sale is usually peanuts. A few charities use the cars for their programs and you claim more in that case, but you need to do legwork to be sure.
Carvana is another option  
Jim in Fairfax : 6/3/2024 4:01 pm : link
I would field offers from both Carmax and Carvana if possible.
Id trade them in  
hassan : 6/3/2024 4:25 pm : link
to whomever you want to acquire the vehicle from as they are incented to move new stock of cars. But I would do the math against the dealer, carmax, and carvana.

Like they needed one more thing.
Do you want to get rid of the dead  
pjcas18 : 6/4/2024 7:26 am : link
bodies you stashed in them too or just the cars?
Ugh  
PatersonPlank : 6/4/2024 9:26 am : link
"1877 Kars for Kids" song is now stuck in my head.
Donate your car today, ugh
Have you considered getting triples of the Elantra?  
Lafferty, Daniel : 6/4/2024 10:08 am : link
Triples is best. Triples is safe.
I would not recommend  
Kmed6000 : 6/4/2024 10:28 am : link
trading the cars into a dealer unless you are willing to play a lot of games and know exactly what you need. Dealers will always try to take advantage and wear you down.

Carvana and Carmax are the best solutions. Carvana will come to your house with a flat bed and a check. Carmax, you need to bring the car to them. It takes 10 minutes to get a quote online. I'd recommend starting with those two sites.
I second Carvana  
John in Loudoun : 6/4/2024 11:54 am : link
Incredibly simple to trade in or just sell. I'm not sure if you can trade in more than one vehicle but I don't see why not...

It took me 20 minutes to find the car I liked and then complete the trade in. The car was delivered to me and the old one picked up within 10 days. So much better than sitting and haggling in a dealership for hours.
I assume  
Pete in MD : 6/4/2024 12:33 pm : link
the are insured.

I know a guy...
We got a decent offer from Carvana  
Grey Pilgrim : 6/4/2024 1:17 pm : link
Good Luck!
Carvana, CarMax and KBB all offer  
Section331 : 6/4/2024 1:21 pm : link
online estimates, so I would go that route. Trading them in will lead to the dealer baking in the trade in values into the new car price. You almost always lose out on a trade in, especially with cars that old.
Park them  
Bubba : 6/4/2024 2:14 pm : link
in Newark.
Carvana  
rsmith32 : 6/4/2024 3:50 pm : link
I had a fantastic experience selling my car with them. It was an extremely simple process and got far more than any other third-party of dealership...

I may be showing my age, here. :)
I used this guy to sell a couple of mine  
bhill410 : 6/5/2024 11:05 am : link
Literally as easy as it comes - would definitely recommend.

https://doubleplayauto.com/

He also can assist on the buying side so you aren’t dealing with car dealers as well but I realize that wasn’t what you were asking.
Considering the age  
upnyg : 6/5/2024 1:50 pm : link
I'd throw them on Facebook Marketplace. You wont get much at all from Carvana or Carmax for those vehicles.

Might be great for new driver.
