Agreed. They gave us a great trade in. Much better than dealers.

On a related note - aside from exchanging money at the bank - how do you handle the test drive? If you have a nice car, what keeps some rando from going crazy with your car during a test drive? Do you get in the car with them? That could be risky, given that you don’t know them. Other thoughts?

if it's a car person's car, yes cars and bids, or bring a trailer auction sites
