How do you figure out how much my car is worth?
Our appraisers review current market data for your vehicle's specific year, make, model, trim, mileage, and condition. They will do an inspection of the inside and outside of your vehicle looking for any major defects and checking that the vehicle has not been in a flood, or had frame damage. They will also test all of the major components of your vehicle. Finally they will check to see if your vehicle has received the proper maintenance required, that you have all the keys, and the owners manuals for the vehicle.
What do I need to bring?
- Please bring valid state issued IDs for any persons on the Title.
- Bring the title or payoff information.
- All titleholders should come to the appointment.
- Bring a valid and current registration
- Bring all keys, remotes, and owners manuals for the vehicle.
*These items are not needed if you are just getting an offer, only if you plan on selling the vehicle.
How do I get paid?
If you have the title for your vehicle, we will issue you a check guaranteed by our bank. This check is ready to be deposited, but not cashable. Please check with your bank on their hold policy when depositing checks. If there is a lien on your vehicle, we will make the payoff to the lien holder on your behalf.
What if I have negative equity?
Lewis will calculate the difference between what you owe and the offer. That difference will be owed by you at the time of the transaction. If you are trading in the vehicle oftentimes we can include that amount into your financing for your new vehicle.
I have a lease, will Lewis buy my lease vehicle?
Yes! Most leasing companies will allow you to sell your lease to us. We will appraise it, and contact the company for a payoff quote. Please note not all leasing companies allow this, and not all leased cars will be eligible for trade-in tax savings. Please check with your leasing company for details.
