Quick Cars FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Do I have to buy a car from you if I sell mine?
A: Not at all! We’re happy to buy your vehicle even if you don’t purchase one from us.
Q: How does Quick Cars work?
A: Quick Cars is a platform connecting some of the region’s top dealerships. When we receive your inquiry to sell your vehicle, you will receive an immediate top market-value based offer. At the same time that we receive your inquiry, all of our participating dealers will be notified that they have 24 hours to determine whether they want to offer even more for your vehicle. Each dealer values your vehicle independently, so they are competing to give you the most money for your vehicle. You will be notified within 24 hours whether another dealer wants to offer even more, and only then will your contact information be made available to the top-bidding dealer for them to get in touch with you. You are never under any obligation to sell your vehicle to a QuickCars dealer, the decision rests solely with you!
Q: What if I still owe money on my car?
A: No problem. We’ll handle the payoff directly with your lender, and if there’s any equity left over, you will be paid the difference on the spot. We generally can process a payoff with your lender more quickly than you can, and that way we are responsible for getting the title, your responsibility with the car and its loan is complete.
Q: How long does it take to sell my car?
A: Most sellers receive an instant cash offer and complete the sale in a single visit.
Q: What paperwork is needed?
A: Valid drivers license, your title (if applicable), and your keys. We will guide you through any state-specific requirements that may exist.
Q: My car has some scratches and dents. Should I fix them before bringing it in for an appraisal?
A: No need! Minor scratches and dents aren’t a problem. We can handle those repairs at a much lower cost than you’d pay out of pocket.
Q: What if I’m leasing my car, can I still sell it to you?
A: Yes you can, in most cases we can buy out your lease just as though it was a traditional loan. As long as your bank allows it we can handle all paperwork and payoff requirements.
Q: I don’t have the title; I lost it. Should I order a new one?
A: No you don’t need to, we can take care of that for you. In fact, it’s usually faster if we order the replacement and have it sent directly to us, so you don’t have to wait around for it.
Q: Will I get paid the same day?
A: Yes! Once we finalize the paperwork, you’ll receive payment the same day — no waiting around.
Q: A friend told me that I can get more for my car if I sell it privately?
A: It’s possible but not always the case. Additionally, the added benefit of selling through QuickCars is the piece of mind you get with us. No strangers visiting your house, no midnight phone calls, no refund requests if your car breaks down after you sell it. It’s simple, you sell to us, the check clears and you never have to think about your car again!
Q: Do I need to clean or detail my car before bringing it in?
A: It’s up to you but it’s not necessary. We’ll appraise your vehicle based upon its mechanical condition. No need to worry about a little bit of dirt.
Q: My car has been in an accident. Will you still make an offer?
A: Absolutely. We understand vehicles have a history, and sometimes they’ve been through a lot! Our appraisal team factors in its condition and history fairly. Even if it has been in an accident, we can still give you a very competitive offer.
Q: How do you determine what my car is worth?
A: We use a variety of trusted market data along with factors such as current demand for vehicles like yours. This ensures you get a fair and accurate offer that reflects today’s market. Additionally, we have multiple dealers bidding independently for your vehicle, that way we can ensure that you are getting the top offer possible in the market.
Q: Can you match or beat other offers I’ve received?
A: Frequently the answer is ‘YES’. Since we’re the region’s premier Automotive Trade Platform (ATP) with multiple competing dealers bidding for your vehicle, you will be provided with the single highest offer for your vehicle.
Q: Do you take trade-ins too, or just buy cars outright?
A: Both! If you’d like to trade in for another vehicle, we can apply your car’s value toward your next purchase. If you just want to sell outright, we’ll write you a check the same day. The added benefit of trading in your car is the tax savings that you will receive from your trade.
Q: What if my car has high mileage?
A: That’s not a problem — we buy vehicles of all ages and mileages. Even higher-mileage vehicles have value, and we’ll make you a fair market offer.
Q: Are there any hidden fees?
A: No, any and all costs are disclosed upfront.
