Consignment FAQs
What is car consignment and how does it work?
Car consignment is a service that allows you to sell your vehicle through a dealership rather than handling the sale yourself. The dealership markets the vehicle, communicates with potential buyers, and manages the paperwork, helping streamline the selling process while potentially reaching a larger audience.
