Offer Terms

Estimates and firm offers

An estimate is not an offer. A firm offer is made at your in-person appraisal, in writing, with an amount, an expiration date and time, and the purchasing dealership named. The purchasing dealership is the buyer of your vehicle.

How long a firm offer stands

A firm offer stands for 7 days and ends at the expiration date and time shown on it. It ends sooner if the vehicle’s mileage, condition or equipment changes after the appraisal, or if any condition below is not met.

Conditions of every offer

A firm offer assumes that the vehicle and the information about it match what was reported and appraised: condition, mileage, equipment, keys and remotes, accident and damage history, and vehicle history.

It is also subject to a clean, transferable title and verified payoff under the Title Policy, valid ID for every owner, and the vehicle not being reported stolen or subject to a lien, recall hold or legal claim that was not disclosed.

Revised or withdrawn offers

If a condition is not met or we learn something new before you sign, we may revise or withdraw the offer. We show you what we found and how it changes the offer. You may decline a revised offer with no penalty.

We may decline to buy any vehicle for any lawful reason before purchase documents are signed.

Accepting and completing the sale

You accept a firm offer in writing, in your portal or in the purchase documents. The sale is complete when the purchase documents are signed and the vehicle and keys are delivered. You may stop at any point before you sign, with no penalty. Once you sign, the sale is final.

What you promise when you sell

When you sign, you confirm that you own the vehicle or are authorized to sell it, that there are no liens other than those you disclosed, that the odometer shows the actual mileage, that you disclosed all known damage including flood, frame and airbag damage and any title brand, and that the vehicle is not stolen or subject to a legal claim.

If one of these promises turns out to be untrue, you agree to cooperate to fix it and to repay the amounts we paid or lost because of it, or, as the purchase documents provide, to take the vehicle back and return what we paid.

Payment

You are paid by check at handoff once title and payoff are verified. If there is a loan or lease, we pay the lender or leasing company directly and pay any remaining equity to you. If the payoff is more than the offer, you pay the difference when you sign the paperwork.

Bonus

The $500 bonus is added to an accepted firm offer when you complete the sale or trade. It is never part of an estimate. One bonus per vehicle. It has no value apart from the sale, cannot be transferred and cannot be combined with other promotions unless we say so in writing. We may change or end the bonus for offers not yet issued.

Fees and costs

We charge no appraisal fee and no admin or processing fee. You are responsible for your own costs, such as charges from your lender and anything required to cancel your registration or insurance.

Remove personal belongings, plates and toll tags before handoff. We are not responsible for items left in the vehicle.

Trading toward another vehicle

If you trade your vehicle toward a purchase, that purchase is a separate agreement with the selling dealership. How sales tax applies to a trade depends on your state’s rules and is not part of a firm offer.
