The Secret to Selling Your Car for More: The Triple-Win Pricing Strategy

Selling your car through consignment isn’t just about getting a better price—it’s about creating a triple-win for everyone involved: the Seller, the Buyer, and the Dealer (Consignment Pro).

What is Triple-Win Pricing?

It’s a pricing approach unique to retail consignment that finds the “sweet spot” where all three parties benefit:

• Seller gets significantly more than trade-in or instant cash offers (often more than a private sale).

• Buyer pays less than the typical retail price for a quality, professionally marketed vehicle.

• Dealer earns a fair commission for their expertise and services, making the sale worthwhile.

How Does It Work?

Consignment Pros know the market inside out. They use their experience, valuation tools, and local sales data to set a price that balances value and speed of sale. This expert pricing means your vehicle sells faster and for more money.

When you bring your vehicle to a trusted consignment dealership, they will:

1. Inspect and evaluate its condition and market appeal.

2. Use pricing tools and local listings to find the triple-win price.

3. Consult with you on pricing and potential value-boosting options.

Example:

For a 2017 Honda Accord EX-L, the pricing might look like this:

Dealer Trade-in Offer      $13,700

Suggested Retail Price    $18,700

Consignment Sale Price  $17,500

Here’s how the triple-win breaks down:

• Seller nets $2,400 more than trade-in

• Buyer saves $1,200 off retail

• Dealer earns a $1,400 commission for their expertise and services

The Bottom Line:
Triple-win pricing ensures everyone benefits—making retail consignment the smart, fair, and profitable way to sell your vehicle.
