Last year, we traded in my husband’s old Honda Pilot to our dealer as we were buying his new car. As our sales guy worked out the numbers for us, he told us to hang tight while “his guy” got him a price for the Honda. I figured they just had a set price of Kelly Blue Book or some dealer website that they would offer us. But no. He explained “his guy”â€Â (I feel it needs the air quotes because he referred to this guy like he was some shady hustler in the back room) texts around to local dealers to see who may be in the market for our car and sees what price he can get.
I thought it was pretty cool and we walked away thinking we got a good deal. Since then, I’ve learned about local Philadelphia serviceGroovy Car and I actually wish we had been able to sell our old car here. Groovy Car takes the power out of your dealer’s hands and puts it in yours — by giving you a resource that will hit up *all* the local dealers in your area. It’s auction-style, so dealers can raise the price and compete with one another for your car.
Groovy Car reports their sales bring in an average of 20% more than trade-in value. Hot dang! I can’t imagine a better way to sell your car. Once you have a winner, you then connect with the dealer who wanted to purchase your car and make arrangements for the sale.
Groovy Car has a website and an app and the entire process takes less than 10 minutes. You can use your phone to take pictures of your car and get it listed.  All auctions run from 9AM-5PM EST Monday-Friday.
Currently, Groovy Car is only available in the Philadelphia area but if you aren’t in Philly, who knows, you may see them in your area soon! Download theGroovy Car app today.

I have never bought a used car (my husband and I have always used public transit), but we got a Ford Fiesta 2 years ago when we got our daughter … this year we moved and didn’t take the car with us. We had an offer from the dealer, but decided to sell it ourselves. We ended up getting WAY more for it than we expected! I put out a high bid and boy was I surprised when it got snapped up with no haggling!
