What paperwork should I bring to the dealership to sell my car?

Title

This is the primary document that we’ll need from you: your vehicle’s title. If your title is stashed away in a safety deposit box at the bank or filed away securely at home, that’s great. Just don’t forget to bring it with you upon receiving our cash offer for your car.

CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™

If you’ve already run the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ on your car, SUV or truck, feel free to bring the entire report with you. If not, no worries — since you’ll be giving us your model’s VIN (vehicle identification number), we’ll be able to access this information ourselves. This report provides an overview of all service records, title changes, mileage counts and more.

Warranty Documentation

The presence of an active warranty for your vehicle will help retain its value. If your model’s warranty is transferable, feel free to bring this documentation along with you. Having the contact information of the warranty provider — if it’s not the manufacturer — would be helpful, but it’s also not absolutely necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m still making payments on my vehicle?

That’s completely understandable — if you haven’t paid off your vehicle’s loan, the title will still be in the hands of your bank or lender. Simply contact your lien holder to discuss the loan payoff amount and how to arrange the sale. You’ll need to give the full payoff amount to your lender before they will release your car’s title to you.

What if my car needs some repairs?

You don’t have to fix every little scratch or dent, but be sure to give your car a good wash and vacuum to remove all the dirt that’s accumulated. This will help boost your car’s value and make it more appealing to prospective buyers. If you’re looking at more extensive repairs, like an engine or transmission replacement, we recommend disclosing the needed services to your prospective buyer without completing them yourself.
