How does the Shares Program work? Let's find out!
It's easy to sell your car with our Shares Program. We will buy your vehicle even if you don't buy from us. Avoid the hassle of selling your vehicle yourself, sell it to us!
This innovative program is brought to you by INFINITI of Tacoma, we want to Share the Profits with you, our customer!
#1) Sell us your car (your part is done).
#2) We recondition and market your car.
#3) Best of all: when we sell it we share the profit with you!
Below you’ll find the most common questions about our exclusive shares program:
-
What happens if they don't sell my old car? Will I owe them any money?
The answer is no!
Once you sell your vehicle, you won't be liable for any additional costs or losses that the dealer may incur on that vehicle.
-
Is this a gimmick? Why would they do this?
No - it absolutely is not a gimmick!
It's not easy purchasing high-quality preowned vehicles. The costs are many - airfare, auction fees, shipping, and more. INFINITI of Tacoma would, therefore, much rather share the profits with our customers instead of funneling our dollars to out-of-state vendors.
-
Are they going to offer me less for my car?
No, we are not!
However, we understand why you may be skeptical. Many of the customers that have taken advantage of our Shares Program first had their vehicles appraised at CarMax. That organization offers a free 7-day appraisal, whether drivers purchase from them or not.
We offer the same service as well. Our research shows that - in virtually every case - we've either been able to match or pay more for the vehicle.
The difference is that - when we sell the vehicle - we share the profit with our customers. -
Are there any other dealerships that offer this service?
We're not aware of any other dealerships that offer this service.
-
Is this just like a vehicle consignment?
No, it's not.
In a traditional auto consignment scenario: the customer still owns the vehicle, even though it's now on a lot for sale; and the customer does not receive payment until the car is sold. In the meantime, they're still liable for any related costs (insurance, financing fees, etc.).
With the INFINITI of Tacoma Shares Program, we pay you for the vehicle today. This means that you'll have no liability costs; and, once we make the sale, we'll share the profits with you. It's that simple. -
Do you have an example of how it works?
Of course!
Step One: We will use a figure of $20,000 for this example.
Step Two: We charge a standard $895.00 fee. This includes advertising, marketing, insurance, and other expenses.
Step Three: We then recondition the vehicle. This includes service items that need to be addressed before we can re-sell the vehicle. Here are just a few examples: brakes, non-functioning or broken parts, oil change, wiper blades, broken glass, etc. We also do a full auto detail and complete any exterior or interior cosmetic repairs. The average cost per car does vary depending on how old the car is and mileage on the vehicle. However, the average cost is approx. $950.00.
Step Four: This brings the total dealer cost to $21,845. If INFINITI of Tacoma successfully lists and sales the vehicle for $24,500, it would then result in a profit of $2,655.00.
Step Five: Our team would then provide the customer with a check for half of that profit (in this case: $1,327.50). -
What tools or website sources does INFINITI of Tacoma use to determine “how much” they'll offer for my vehicle?
We use Kelley Blue Book. They are the most comprehensive and trusted company for used vehicle values.
-
How long does this process take?
Most of our customers spend approximately 30 minutes at our dealership to have their vehicle appraised. We're committed to offering fast and reliable service, and we strive to accommodate every driver's busy schedule.
-
Are there any vehicles you won't accept - whether due to model, make, or age?
We will accept any vehicle.
The only criteria to quality for our Shares Program is that your car must have no major issues that would render it non-cost effective to repair or unsafe to sell. -
Is an appointment necessary to receive an appraisal?
No appointment is needed to start the appraisal process. For those who wish to secure a specific time, however, we encourage you to use the automated form below.
-
How long is the appraisal price valid?
Our price is guaranteed for seven days.
-
Do I have to purchase a vehicle from INFINITI of Tacoma to be able to participate in the Shares Program?
No, you don't have a purchase a vehicle from us to participate.
-
I am ready to sell my vehicle to INFINITI of Tacoma. What do I need to bring with me?
