Can anyone explain the “in and out” sales process in detail? From what I understand, it is a way to sell your vehicle to a private buyer and complete the process at the dealership to retain the tax savings when buying your new vehicle from the same dealer.

Have you ever seen the movie Deliverance? The scene with Ned Beatey and Bill McKinney? That is very similar to the "in and out" sales process. You get to play Ned and sales is Bill. Practice your pig squealing before you go.

And here is a personal example... My wife's lease will be up in May - we are going to purchase the car. So, I called the dealer to find out what all was involved with a buyout, and the dude says, "piece of cake, we do them all the time". So, I asked if there were any fees involved and he answered no, but we do have to run it through the shop to inspect it before we can delver it back to you. I said, that won't be necessary, can't we just do the paperwork and be done with it? Nope, got to go through the shop. I asked, so, how much is that? He says, usually around $2k. They could hear me laughing all the way down the street. I then called the leasing company, and they said - no fees, but you have to deal with the registration stuff on your own - done deal!

I have never heard of doing this. But at the bottom it does say that it is most beneficial if you are selling a vehicle worth more than $50k, sell more than most or are a collector. I don't fit those categories. But there is also a link to contact for further info.

Personally, I would just see what the trade in is compared to selling it and compare the hit if what you have to trade is worth that much. If you are trying to sell a Range Rover SV, you may want to consult a tax professional. If you are selling a 1992 F-150, just let it go. If it costs you too much, it's just not worth it.

Thanks for the info. Since this is the first time I've leased a vehicle, I've been searching online to familiarize myself with the process. All I've been seeing are articles saying I need to bring it back to the same dealership where I got my lease from. Don't you still need a safety inspection by a shop? Can you share some info on what actual process entails?

I will once the deal is done. We can't actually complete the transaction until the end of May.
