FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect after submitting my information?

You’ll receive calls or emails from 2–3 local dealers in your area who will provide you with buy bids for your car. They may ask a few additional questions to finalize their offers. All dealers are verified, licensed professionals.

What documents do I need?

Once you receive an offer and decide to move forward, the dealer will typically require a valid state ID such as a driver’s license and the vehicle title. If your car has a loan, you’ll also need a 10-day payoff letter from your lender.

What if I still have a loan on my car?

No problem. You’ll provide a 10-day payoff letter to the dealer, and they will handle paying off your loan directly. If your offer is higher than your payoff, you’ll receive the remaining balance via check or wire. If your offer is lower than your payoff, you’ll pay the difference, and the dealer will still handle the payoff process for you.

How do I get paid?

You’ll be paid by a licensed dealer via company check or wire transfer, depending on the dealer and your preference.

How do dealers evaluate my car?

Dealers use real-time market data backed by sources like Kelley Blue Book and National Automobile Dealers Association, along with comparable listings in your area. This helps produce a fair, competitive offer so you can choose the highest one.

Do I need to drop off my car, or will it be picked up?

Both options are available. Since the dealers are local, they can arrange pickup directly from your home or schedule a drop-off at their location, depending on what is more convenient for you.
