Anyone know where I can sell a car basically for cash in the GTA? I'm not looking to trade it in or sell it privately, just looking for a place to sell it at a fair value.

Thanks

The only fair value is selling privately. That is the market value.

Was OP looking for a dealer to pay them 10% below market value in cash as fair value?

Where do you find the current market value of cars?

I'm actually looking to sell my car with no hassles or effort and I would be content getting trade in value or better. I'm basically looking for a place where I can take my car, they look at and give me a value we can agree on and leave with payment.

Do dealers do this or are there any other options for this kind of transaction?

Depending on the car and how much OP was willing to accept, sure.

I mean if OP had a 2009 Honda Civic in good condition (clean history), a dealer would love to make some easy money.

If OP had a Chrysler, it would be hard to unload, no matter what the price.

OP should walk into a dealer (used car lot/manager) and ask. It doesn't hurt ... the worst is "no thanks".

I doubt you will be offered trade-in value.

Dealers will always look at what they could buy the same model as yours at auction.

They might even share recent sale price listings with you.

If yours is in above-average shape, or has something appealing about it, they may give you that average auction selling price.

But only because they would be saving auction buyer's fees and costs, and were sure they could clear a few thousand on yours without much expense or trouble.

A new car dealership might be the more comfortable place to try, but you may have to end up at an independent used car lot and need to barter more extensively.
