That's the beauty of our service – the entire process can be completed from the comfort of your home! You never have to visit a physical dealership or negotiate directly with individual buyers. We handle everything from the initial estimate to the final payment and vehicle pickup. Once you accept our best offer, our team will work directly with you to finalize the transfer and payment.
Once our inspector has completed the vehicle assessment, we aim to launch your vehicle to our network of thousands of active dealers within one business day. We strategically time the launch to coincide with peak dealer activity to maximize the number of bids and secure you the highest possible offer. You can typically expect to receive your final offer within a short timeframe after the auction begins.
Our process is designed to get you the absolute best market value for your vehicle without the hassle of negotiation. We leverage a competitive bidding environment with a large network of licensed dealers (>15,000) who actively compete for your vehicle. This ensures you receive the highest offer a dealer is willing to pay at that time. Therefore, the final offer presented is our best and final offer.
We make the inspection process convenient for you. A qualified inspector will come to your preferred location (typically your home) at a scheduled time that’s convenient for you. They will conduct a thorough visual inspection, take photos, and record key information about your vehicle's condition and features. All you need to do is provide the inspector with the keys. The inspection usually takes around 30 minutes.
Once you accept our offer, we'll promptly send you a straightforward digital or physical packet containing the necessary paperwork. This packet will include clear instructions on how to provide proof of ownership (title), identification, any relevant loan information, and your preferred payment details. Our dedicated support team is also available to guide you through this process and answer any questions you may have.
To ensure a smooth and efficient transaction, please have the following readily available:
We offer flexible payment options for your convenience. You can choose to receive your funds via secure wire transfer directly to your bank account, which is typically the fastest method. We also offer payment by physical check, which will be mailed to your provided address.
Yes, we can absolutely handle vehicles with existing loans. Once you accept our offer and provide us with your lienholder information, we will work directly with your bank or credit union to facilitate the payoff of your remaining loan balance. The net proceeds (the offer amount minus the loan payoff) will then be paid directly to you.
Unfortunately, our current process does not allow us to purchase vehicles where the outstanding loan balance is greater than our final offer. In such situations, you would need to resolve the negative equity with your lender before we could proceed with the purchase.
Several factors contribute to determining the final offer for your vehicle, including:
Once you've accepted our offer and the necessary paperwork is complete, we will arrange for the free pickup of your vehicle from your designated location (usually your home). Our trusted vehicle transportation partners will contact you directly to schedule a convenient pickup appointment. You simply need to ensure the vehicle is accessible and have the keys ready.
Absolutely not! Both getting an initial online estimate and having your vehicle inspected by one of our certified professionals are completely free of charge. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of our free inspection. It allows us to provide the most accurate valuation for your vehicle, ensuring you receive the best possible offer when you decide to sell.
After our inspector has assessed your vehicle, we'll provide you with a firm offer, typically within 48 hours. Because the used vehicle market can fluctuate, this offer will be valid for 24 hours from the time you receive it. This timeframe allows you to make a confident decision knowing you have a guaranteed price.
We have a wide network of buyers interested in almost every make, model, and condition of vehicle. The only exceptions are typically exotic or very rare vehicles, which often require specialized buyers outside of our current network. For the vast majority of cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, we're ready to help you sell!
We proudly serve sellers in every corner of the continental United States. No matter where you are located within the lower 48 states, we can come to you for the inspection and vehicle pickup.
While not a strict requirement, presenting your vehicle in a clean and tidy condition can be beneficial. Removing personal belongings allows our inspector to accurately assess the vehicle's interior and overall condition without obstructions. A cleaner vehicle can also create a more positive impression, potentially influencing the offers from our network of buyers. So, while not mandatory, we recommend removing personal items and giving your car a quick clean if practical.
That's perfectly normal for a used vehicle! Our inspectors are trained to document the current condition of your vehicle accurately, including any minor dings, dents, or wear and tear. This transparency ensures that potential buyers have a clear understanding of what they are bidding on, leading to more confident bids and often a better overall offer for you. You don't need to worry about hiding minor imperfections; we'll factor them into the valuation.
Please do let us know about any aftermarket modifications you've made when you provide details about your vehicle. Modifications like sunroofs, upgraded sound systems, custom wheels, or performance enhancements can sometimes increase the value of your vehicle by appealing to specific buyers. Accurate information about these modifications helps us present your vehicle effectively to our network and obtain the most accurate offers.
Yes, for a thorough assessment, our inspector will need the keys to briefly test drive your vehicle. This short drive, typically less than 2 miles on local streets, allows them to check for any significant engine or handling issues. This step is crucial for providing buyers with confidence in the vehicle's mechanical condition. Knowing a trained inspector has evaluated the vehicle often leads to stronger offers as buyers have a clearer picture of its overall state and are less likely to encounter unexpected problems.
You will receive payment at the time of vehicle pickup. Once you've signed the necessary paperwork and our transportation partner arrives to collect your vehicle, we will issue your payment according to your chosen method (wire transfer initiated or check provided).
Rest assured, we've got the paperwork covered! Our dedicated team at BidRev will handle all the necessary title transfer documentation from start to finish.
