Full value, fair value, trade-in value, private party value, dealer price, retail price these are just some of the many terms used to describe a price for a used vehicle. What do they all mean and how can you use them to help you sell a car? We have created an entire page devoted to just this topic. You can find it here.

The best way to learn what we think is a fair vale for your vehicle is to Get a Quote. It's quick and best of all the service is free for anybody to use.
Keep in mind that there is a cost associated with any service. You wouldn't expect someone to paint your house for just the cost of the paint. Likewise, you will get a higher price for your vehicle if you do the work of selling it yourself (DIY). But, if you are looking for a fair value and want someone take care of the job for you, you owe it to yourself to get the fair value for your car today!

If you have the title to your vehicle, you will send it to Escrow.com by Federal Express. We will email a FedEx shipping label to you when we set up your sales transaction. You keep the title until we have paid for the vehicle and completed the inspection. We will provide detailed instructions and a template to show you what to write on and where to sign the title before sending the title to escrow.
If you do not have the title because there is a lien (loan balance), the lender will send us the title after we send them the payoff balance on the loan account.

How does the payoff to the lender happen?
A loan on an automobile is a contractual agreement between you and your lender. We are able to speak with the lender and pay off the loan with your express permission to the lender. We get your written permission on a signed document known as an authorization for payoff.
When you agree to sell us your vehicle, we will call the lender, together, on a conference call that we initiate. The lender will provide us with an exact payment that will release the lien. This is called a payoff amount. It is usually given in the form of an amount good for 10 days.
We will prepare, and send to you by Federal Express, the authorization for payoff and a bill of sale for your automobile. The authorization form is your written instructions to the lender instructing them to accept payment from us, release the lien and send the title to us. We will also provide a return Federal Express envelope so that you can send the form back to us quickly.
Once the signed authorization is received by us in our office, we will send the authorization form and a cashier's check to the lender and wait for the title to be delivered to us by the lender. The sale is complete to us as soon as we receive the signed form and a bill of sale from you.
When is the payoff made?
Do you purchase vehicles with mechanic's liens?
Do you purchase vehicles with a towing lien?
Do you purchase vehicles that are currently repossessed?
Do you purchase vehicles with a title loan?
Can you negotiate a short sale with my lender?
