Getting your vehicle appraised
Step One: arrange (by phone or e-mail) to bring your car to our showroom.
Our evaluation specialists will thoroughly review and drive your car to determine an appraisal
offer.
We'll check:
- Overall vehicle condition (Interior and Exterior) — excessive wear and tear may affect your vehicle's appraisal offer.
- Mileage & age are also considered, as both may affect your resale market.
- Signs of previous body work, including certain dents, dings and mis-matched paint or overspray.
- If
your vehicle has been in a serious accident, it will likely have frame
damage. Since we don’t re-sell frame-damaged vehicles, this will
affect your vehicle’s overall appraisal value.
Step Two: we’ll give you a free, written offer. That offer is good for seven (7) days or 250
miles.
Step Three: complete the transaction. Once you’re ready to proceed, please bring all paperwork and any vehicle accessories (extra keys, owner’s manual, service records, etc.) to our showroom.
If you don’t have the title for your vehicle (i.e. you still have a few payments left on your current loan), we’ll work with your lender to settle that account. The difference between the current loan amount and the appraisal offer is drafted directly to you!
If there is negative equity, we'll determine the
difference between your pay-off and our appraisal offer. We'll accept a cashier's check or certified
check for the amount you owe and then pay off the finance company.
