How do I sell my car using SmartCarOptions’s service?
- Find a location near you, and call their office to schedule an appointment for an appraisal of your vehicle.
- During the appointment, we will inspect your vehicle and perform a brief test drive.
- Upon completion of the inspection, we will provide you with a cash offer for your vehicle, valid for 7 days. We will also explain how we determined the value of your vehicle.
- The entire process only takes about 15 minutes. Should you decide to accept the offer, you can receive payment for your vehicle the same day.
How do you determine the value of my car? Do you use any of the popular online pricing guides?Several key factors determine the value of any vehicle, including mechanical condition, cosmetic condition, vehicle history, and what similar vehicles are actually selling for in your local area. Regarding the online price guides, we usually do not reference to them, as they may be over inflated or under inflated for your market, and generally reference the asking sales price of similar vehicles, not the actual price vehicles similar to yours sold for in your area.
How do I know I am getting the best cash price for my car?We appraise cars everyday, so we know the market very well. In addition, we study the market reports (what cars actually sold for, not their advertised price) for your local area and attend dealer only auto auctions on a regular basis. This provides us with the information we need to offer you the most for your vehicle.
Why do you want to buy my car?We prefer to buy vehicles from the public, as this provides us the opportunity to learn about the car and know the vehicle history. In addition, we find that privately owned vehicles that we inspect are better maintained than cars we could buy at an auto dealer auction.
