Is Consignment Right for You? 5 Signs You Shouldn’t Sell on Your Own
Selling a car, truck, or RV on your own can seem simple—until you start dealing with lowball offers, tire-kickers, or flaky no-shows. If you're second-guessing the DIY route, consignment could be a better option.
At Auto Nation Canada, we help Alberta sellers avoid the hassle and still get full value for their vehicles and trailers. Here are 5 signs consignment is the right move for you.
With years of proven experience helping RV and auto owners across Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Treaty 6 communities, we’ve made consignment safe, easy, and profitable.
1. You Don’t Have Time to Deal With Inquiries
Answering messages, scheduling showings, and meeting strangers can eat up hours. If you’re busy with work or family, let us do the legwork.
We:
Take professional photos
List your unit across platforms
Respond to buyers and arrange viewings
2. You’re Concerned About Safety
Selling privately means inviting strangers to your home or meeting in parking lots. With consignment, your unit stays on our secure lot, and our team handles all showings.
✅ No risk, no awkward meetups, no liability.
3. You Don’t Know What to Price It At
Set your price too high? It won’t sell. Too low? You leave money on the table.
We can help you with a FREE market analysis and:
Show market comparisons
Adjust based on real-time demand
Keep you in control of the final approval
4. You’re Not Comfortable With Paperwork
Bills of sale, lien payouts, GST, financing docs—private sales come with paperwork. We handle:
Buyer financing
Trade-in processing
Secure payment to you
And we make sure it’s legal, compliant, and stress-free.
5. You Want the Best Return Without Doing the Work
Consignment often delivers a higher payout than trade-ins—and saves you time compared to private sales.
We bring serious buyers to you, not just browsers. And yes, we help buyers finance, which helps you get paid faster.
