If you’re planning to buy a new or used car in Tampa, you’re probably wondering how to deal with your old car. You have a few options when it comes to getting rid of your old car in St. Petersburg. You can sell it privately, have someone else sell it for you, in Largo, FL. Or you can trade it in when you visit our location in Clearwater, FL to buy your new car. Let’s take a look at the advantages of trading in your old car.

Convenience

It’s hard to beat the convenience of trading in your old car. You don’t have to take out any ads, you don’t have to take any pictures, and you don’t have to make sure your car is in tip-top shape. You also don’t have to field calls from buyers and take them on a test drive. All you have to do is bring your vehicle in while negotiating and closing the deal for your new car. We take your vehicle off your hands, and you can be on your way with your new vehicle.

Value

You might think there’s more money in selling your car privately. But, when you consider the time and money you may have to put into your old car to get it to sell for that price, is it worth the hassle? You’ll have to spend money on ads, washing and cleaning your car, and then spend time fielding emails and calls. On top of all that, your car will still be sitting in your driveway or garage taking up space. We give you a fair price on your trade-in, and there’s nothing else for you to do.

Come visit Fitzgerald’s Countryside Subaru today to explore trade-in options and find your new car!
