Don't Take Our Word For It
Common Queries
Find clear, honest answers to all your questions about our professional vehicle-buying process. We’re here to ensure every step of selling your car is as easy, fast, and transparent.
Do you buy modified cars?
Absolutely. While most dealerships deduct value for aftermarket parts, we see high-quality modifications as assets. When you submit your vehicle, please list your specific upgrades so we can value them correctly.
Will you pay me for Full Self-Driving or Rivian Upgrades?
Yes. Most trade-in tools treat Teslas and Rivians as “base models,” but we manually verify your build. We check for paid upgrades like Full Self-Driving (FSD), Acceleration Boost, and Rivian’s Performance Upgrade, ensuring these high-value features are added directly to your check, not ignored.
I still owe money on my car. Can I sell it to you?
We handle the payoff process directly with your lender. If your car is worth more than the loan balance, we cut you a check for the difference (equity) immediately.
How do you issue payment?
We value speed and security. For most transactions, we issue a verified company check on the spot. For larger transactions or remote sellers, we can arrange a direct wire transfer.
Will the offer change after the inspection?
Our goal is transparency. If the vehicle’s condition matches the details provided during the initial appraisal, your offer will remain the same. We only adjust the offer if the physical inspection reveals significant mechanical or cosmetic discrepancies that weren’t previously disclosed.
How long is my offer valid for?
Market values change weekly. Once we provide a firm written offer after inspection, it is typically valid for 5 days, giving you time to make the right decision without pressure.
