Questions sellers ask

Where does CarPresto buy cars?
CarPresto serves towns around VIP Auto Group dealerships across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Is the first number an offer?
No. It is a market estimate. A firm offer is issued at your in-person appraisal.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. The lookup, appraisal options and selling process have no seller fees.
Where is the best place to sell my car?
It depends on how much time you want to spend. A private sale means listing it and meeting buyers yourself. With CarPresto you get a market estimate online, then a firm offer at a local dealership.
Is it better to trade in or sell a car?
It depends on whether you are buying your next car from the same dealership. You can choose to sell or trade when you start, and you get a market estimate either way.
