Have you ever asked the question, “Where do dealerships get their used cars?” If so, you’re not alone. Our Heritage | MileOne Autogroup dealerships have an excellent selection of used cars, and they have to come from somewhere. While there are many ways that our dealerships obtain used cars, our favorite is through trade-ins from customers like you.
Trade-Ins Bring Variety to a Used Car Inventory
When a customer trades in a vehicle, the dealership evaluates its condition, mileage, service history, features, and current market demand to estimate its value. If the customer accepts the offer, the dealership may add that vehicle to its used inventory showroom after completing a reconditioning process that ensures the car is in top condition for the new buyer. This process brings in vehicles of different makes, model years, body styles, and equipment levels.
If you are considering replacing your current vehicle, trading it in may simplify the process. You can shop for new vehicles while the dealership evaluates your current one, and the trade-in value can even be applied toward your purchase. Learn more about the trade-in process by visiting a Heritage | MileOne Autogroup dealership.
Other Ways Dealerships Acquire Used Vehicles
While trade-ins are a major source of a dealership’s used cars, they aren’t the only way a dealership builds inventory. Dealerships’ certified pre-owned cars often come from lease returns, for example. Some dealerships purchase vehicles through wholesale auctions, where dealers bid on cars from rental companies, fleets, and other sources. Also, dealerships in an automotive group may transfer vehicles between locations.
