Have questions about selling or trading your car? We've got you covered.
Your offer is good for 3 days. You can refresh it, and with changes in market conditions and dealership needs your value may increase or decrease after that initial period.
We'll perform a condition inspection including a visual review for dents and scratches, a test drive, and an OBD scan. If new information turns up, the offer may change. Our goal is to offer you the best possible price.
Fill out a short form with basic information about your vehicle and we'll provide an offer. From there you can schedule an appointment at your convenience for a quick, in-person condition report — at home or at one of our 30 locations.
Absolutely. You can sell us your car with no obligation to purchase a new or used vehicle. It's about making the process as convenient as possible for you.
We evaluate make, model, year, mileage, options, features, color, and vehicle history including third-party data sources, along with local demand and general condition. Current market conditions factor in as well, so the offer reflects what your vehicle is worth right now.
Bring the car title if you own it outright, proof of identity such as a driver's license, any loan payoff information, and all keys to the vehicle. Our team will guide you through the rest.
A Sheehy Buys Cars representative will assess your vehicle's condition, including a test drive and an OBD scan of the vehicle's computer system. The whole process usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour.
Once you accept the offer you'll typically receive payment the same day by check or direct deposit. If there's a payoff on the vehicle, or paperwork is incomplete, payment may not be same day.
Yes. We'll pay off your loan directly and handle the paperwork. If your car's value is more than the loan balance, you receive the difference. If the balance is higher, we'll work with you to find a solution.
Yes. We work with leasing companies to buy out your lease, whether you're looking to sell a leased car or end your lease early.
Yes, as long as you're the legal owner and can provide a current registration. In many cases we can help you obtain a duplicate title without a trip to the DMV.
Yes. Lifted and leveled trucks can sometimes add value. Exhaust parts, intake parts, even chipped cars — these affect the value, and we'll still give a fair offer.
