Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about selling or trading your car? We’ve got you covered.

How does the trade-in process work?

Trading in your vehicle is simple. Just provide us with your car's details, and we'll offer you a fair market value based on its condition and market trends. Then, you can bring your vehicle in to one of our dealerships to get the final appraisal. After, that (assuming you've picked out your car), we'll apply the value of the car to your purchase.

Can I sell my vehicle without buying a car?

Absolutely you can, and we do this type of transaction often. We always need inventory. Once you get your online estimate, bring your car by one of our dealerships to get the final appraisal. If all looks good, we'll pay off your existing balance and give you the difference. If you don't have a loan, we'll write you a check.

Should I clean my vehicle before bringing it to you?

We're people too, and we're suckers for a clean car. Coming to us with a spotless interior and exterior will absolutely help increase the value of your car, if for no other reason besides the fact that our detail department won't need to spend much time on your car, thereby decreasing our reconditioning cost.

How do you determine the value of my vehicle?

It's a great question. We determine the value of your vehicle both through our internal datasets (auction and retail listing data), but also our own priorities in what vehicles we want to own and sell. In other words, you may get a higher-than-average offer for a vehicle that we love to stock. Regardless of whether you have a "hot" car, we'll always give you a fair offer.

What if my trade value is less than my loan?

We understand that situations vary, and sometimes the trade-in value of your vehicle may be less than your existing loan balance. Here's what you need to know:

If you owe more on your loan than your trade-in value:Don't worry, you're not alone. This is known as being "upside-down" on your loan. If your trade-in value is less than what you owe, the remaining balance is called "negative equity."

What are your options?

  1. Roll Over the Balance: You can choose to roll over the negative equity into a new loan. This means the remaining balance will be added to the new loan, and you'll continue making payments on both the new vehicle and the remaining balance.
  2. Pay the Difference: If possible, paying off the negative equity upfront can help you start fresh with your new vehicle purchase.
  3. Consider Leasing: Leasing a vehicle might be an option if you're looking to lower your monthly payments and start anew.
  4. Wait and Pay Down: If it's feasible, you can continue making payments on your current vehicle until the loan balance decreases, making it easier to trade in or sell in the future.

Our team is here to guide you through these options and find the best solution for your unique situation. Contact us for a personalized consultation to determine the best course of action.

How do you pay my loan when I trade my car?

  • Loan Payoff: If the trade-in value is greater than your remaining loan balance, the process is straightforward. We'll use the trade-in value to pay off your loan directly to the lender.
  • Positive Equity: If the trade-in value is higher than your loan balance, the difference is considered positive equity. This equity can be applied towards the purchase of your new vehicle, potentially reducing the overall cost.
  • Negative Equity: If the trade-in value is less than your loan balance, resulting in negative equity, we'll discuss options to address the remaining balance. You can choose to roll over the negative equity into a new loan or explore other alternatives.

Our team will handle the paperwork and coordination with your lender to ensure a seamless transition. We aim to simplify the process and guide you through each step.

Remember, our priority is to assist you in finding the best solution for your specific situation. Get in touch with us to discuss your trade-in and loan payoff details for a personalized consultation.
