How you get paid for your car
How you get paid is the easy part: a Sell My Car Online company check, handed to you on the spot once the title is signed. Here’s when it happens, and why we pay by check.
We pay every seller with a Sell My Car Online company check, for the price you agreed to. It’s handed to you at your car, on pickup day, as soon as you’ve signed the title and the bill of sale. No app to sign up for, no bank details to share, and nothing to wait for in the mail.
A company check, handed to you at pickup
Whoever comes for your car, our own driver or a tow company we work with, brings your check and hands it to you on the spot. It’s for the price on your sale page: the one you accepted, or a new one you agreed to at pickup if the car turned out different from what you told us.
Your sale page says how you’re paid from the moment you accept. Here it is for a sample sale: Maria’s 2015 Toyota Camry at $2,500.
Why we pay by check
- A paper trail. The check, the signed title and the bill of sale are a clear record of the sale, for you and for us.
- Safer for our drivers. Nobody carries a pile of cash from one driveway to the next.
- Nothing to set up. No payment app to join and no bank account details to send us. You get the check in your hand.
What happens before you’re handed the check
- A quick look at the car. The driver checks that it matches what you told us.
- You sign. The title and the bill of sale. You, or someone you authorize, needs to be there to sign the paperwork and hand over the keys.
- You’re handed your check. Then we tow the car away, for free.
If the car is very different from what you told us, the driver calls our office, and we give you a new offer before anything is signed. You can say no, at no cost to you. For the whole day, step by step, see what happens on pickup day.
