How to Sell Your Car in Oklahoma City, OK
Whether you want to take home an updated vehicle or simply get cash for your model, we want to help you sell your car at David Stanley Chevrolet. Work with our team members to get a competitive price for your car, truck, or SUV.
Why Sell to a Dealership?
When you sell privately, you’re taking on a lot, including writing ads, fielding calls from strangers, scheduling test drives, and negotiating with buyers who may never show up. Selling to us skips all of that. You get a firm offer, a quick transaction, and payment without the uncertainty. If you’re buying a vehicle from us, you may also gain a sales tax advantage in many states, since you’re only taxed on the price difference between your trade-in and your new purchase. Check with us for how this applies in Oklahoma City.
Get Your Free Appraisal
Start by contacting us, either through our website, by phone, or by stopping in. Online, you’ll enter your vehicle’s VIN or license plate, mileage, trim level, and condition. This gives you an initial estimate within minutes. There’s no obligation, and you don’t need to be shopping for another car to request one. Use our virtual tools to get started.
Bring Your Vehicle In
To finalize your offer, we’ll need to inspect your car in person. This usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. Our appraiser will check the exterior, interior, tires, and mechanical condition, take it for a short drive, and review the vehicle’s history report. We’re looking at the same things a future buyer would care about, such as accident history, maintenance records, and wear and tear.
Review Your Offer
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll present a written offer and explain how we arrived at it. Our numbers are based on current market data, auction values, local demand, and your vehicle’s condition. We’ll walk you through it openly, and if you have service records or recent upgrades like new tires, show us. They can strengthen your offer. You’re under no pressure to accept, and our offer is typically good for several days if you want to think it over.
Gather Your Paperwork
If you accept, you’ll need to bring the title, or lien information if you still owe money on the vehicle, along with your valid driver’s license and current registration. Please also bring all keys and remotes, and if applicable, your loan account number and lender details. Are you still paying off your car? We contact your lender, pay off the remaining balance, and give you any positive equity. If you owe more than the car is worth, we’ll explain your options clearly.
Get Paid
After signing the paperwork, you’ll receive payment, usually by check or direct deposit, often the same day. If you’re purchasing another vehicle to drive down Route 66, you can apply your offer directly toward your down payment.
Tips for a Better Offer
A little preparation goes a long way. Clean your vehicle inside and out, gather your maintenance records, and bring both sets of keys. Fix small issues if it’s affordable, but don’t stress over major repairs, since we factor those in.

Can You Trade In a Car If You Are Still Paying It Off?
