Vehicle Appraisals and Valuations

All offers are good for 7 days. Once the 7 days are up you will have to get a new offer in order to sell. 

Your offer is valid for 7 days. To sell anytime after the 7 days you will need to get a new offer. The two offers can on be different based on your local market conditions.  

In rare cases yes an offer can change on day of pickup. This happens when the carrier inspects your vehicle at day of pickup and finds a problem with your car details. For example, you put that your vehicle does not have any body damage, and on day of pickup you have a huge dent on the side of the vehicle.

We recommend that you fill out our form as best as you can. If you need assistance or have any questions please give us a call and we can help you out.

Yes, you can cancel your offer after accepting it at anytime. Make sure you contact your buyer to cancel the transaction, and to cancel the vehicle pickup.

This will vary state by state. We recommend that you first reach out to your local DMV to see what the process is on this situation. 

Some states allow you to sell the vehicle with the death certificate, while other states will make you transfer the title until your name before you can.
