01
Tell us about your car
Start with a few details and your contact information. A CarMax or Carvana offer is welcome, but you don’t need one to request an appraisal.
02
Talk with our team
We’ll review your request, ask for the VIN and any useful condition details, and arrange an appraisal. No second form to fill out.
03
Inspect, then decide
After inspecting the vehicle and verifying the details, we’ll give you a final written purchase offer. You decide whether to accept.
A few things to know.
A local team, a straightforward process, and room for your questions.
Call (949) 998-9997 →What vehicles do you buy?
Our buying program is for clean-title vehicles, model year 2012 or newer. Mileage, repairs, condition and history help determine value; there is no separate mileage ceiling or running-condition requirement.
Do I need photos or my VIN to start?
No. Submit the short form first. Our team can collect the VIN, photos and any additional information during follow-up.
Will I get an instant online price?
No. A person reviews your car. Any estimate before inspection is preliminary; your final purchase offer follows an in-person inspection.
What if I have a loan on the car?
Let us know during follow-up. We’ll review the lien and payoff details with you before a purchase can be completed. Please don’t send financial documents through the initial form.
