The amount you get for your car depends on a few different factors, particularly the make, model, and mileage. The sales method also affects how much money you will get. Generally, selling to a private party will net you the most cash, while getting an immediate cash offer from a dealer is often the lowest amount of money. Do your research to get a good idea of how much your car is worth before attempting to sell it. This will give you a good idea of how much money you can expect to receive from the sale.
