Determining the offer to buy your car

We'll buy any car

Other dealers and online estimators can supply you with used car values, but our specially trained appraisers take into consideration your car's specific condition. And while online estimates may only provide you with a ballpark figure from market data, we'll actually buy your car after it's appraised.

How we determine your offer

To get an offer on your car, simply bring it to us. Your car will be examined inside and out, and we'll give you an offer that day.

Our appraiser will put your car through a detailed process, ensuring you get a fair and honest offer. The process in determining your offer includes a physical inspection of your car. Since every car is different, our appraisers focus on:

• The year, mileage, make, and model of your car
• Interior/Exterior conditions
• Aftermarket modifications
• Structural damage
• A test drive for mechanical issues
• Your car's history report for possible flood or frame damage and any accidents

Using multiple sources of data, we also check general factors that affect any car of similar make and model. Your car is compared against current and accurate market conditions, such as national sales trends and auction data.

Once we analyze this information, we'll give you a free written offer good for seven days.

About our buyers

The average appraiser has been evaluating cars for less than five years. Our team has been appraising vehicles for 40+ years and completes a thorough, rigorous appraisal on each and every vehicle. In addition, our team attends daily wholesale auctions to stay informed of current market conditions. This allows us to more effectively analyze all the information needed to make you a fair and honest offer for your car.

2.     Valid registration
We must see the car's current registration to confirm that you're the car's owner.

3.     Valid Photo ID
All titleholders should bring a valid, state-issued photo identification.
