Consignment

How to Sell a Car: Consignment

You take your car to dealership and tell them you would like to consign your car for them to sell. Some car dealers do not consign cars, while some do.

For those who do, they look consignment as having an extra car on the lot that is not costing them any money.

The dealer will ask you how much you want for your car. No matter what you say, they will tell you that the amount you stated is too much, and then offer you a much lower figure.

Once you agree on the figure, for example $7,000, then whatever the dealership sells your car for over the amount of $7,000 is theirs to keep.

When they sell the car, they call you up and then you come into the dealership to sign some paperwork. They then give you a check for your $7,000.

Message from A1 Auto Hawaii:

It is illegal for any Hawaii auto dealer to consign a vehicle without proper paperwork: therefore A-1 Auto Sales has purchased a $25,000.00 bond to protect all their customers from fraud.
