How Can I Sell My Vehicle?
If you are ready to sell your vehicle to Wickstrom Lincoln, you can start the process from the comfort of your home in just a few minutes.
1. Obtain a Vehicle Appraisal
The first step is to complete our online vehicle valuation form. Provide us with your contact information, as well as details about the year, model, and condition of your vehicle. We will evaluate these details and schedule an in-person appraisal at our Barrington, IL, dealership.

3. Complete the Sale or Trade-in Process
If our offer aligns with your expectations, our finance professionals will help guide you through each subsequent step of the purchase process. Depending on your preferences, you can sell or trade in your vehicle toward a new or pre-owned vehicle from our inventory.

Benefits of Selling Your Vehicle to a Dealership

What Factors Affect Your Vehicle's Value?
Creating a fair market value offer on your vehicle involves a wide range of factors. To ensure our evaluators are covering the true characteristics of your vehicle, we look at the basics, like mileage and the age of the vehicle. Then, we take a closer look at the condition of all the key components and check the maintenance and vehicle history to gain a more complete understanding of its overall condition and long-term reliability. Finally, we consider the included features and current market demand for your current vehicle to determine its desirability for other local drivers.
Overall, the key factors that influence the current value of your vehicle include:
- Mileage
- Age
- Vehicle condition
- Features
- Market demand
- Maintenance history
- Vehicle history reports
Can I Sell a Vehicle With a Loan or Lease?
One of the benefits of choosing to sell your vehicle at a dealership is the expert staff, like the professionals in the Wickstrom Lincoln finance center.
