Car Buyer Pro No Hassle Cash offer!

Your Instant offer is a guaranteed purchase offer for your vehicle. Sellers fill out their vehicle details, including photos and any damages, and provide their contact information. They are then presented with a guaranteed offer on their vehicle. The offer is good for 3 business days and subject to inspection by one of our participating dealers. Assuming the dealer's inspection matches the Seller's, a check for the cash offer value is provided to the Seller with no obligation to purchase a replacement vehicle - making it extremely fast and easy to sell your car!

Your Instant Offer is valid for three business days, pending verification of your inspection details by a dealership buyer. The dealership buyer will receive the Instant Offer, and you will bring your vehicle to the participating dealership within three business days for inspection. Once the details are verified, you'll receive a check for the Instant Offer amount from the dealer. If you prefer to trade in the car instead, you are free to do so.

While nearly all cars submitted for a cash offer will receive a dollar value, the more accurate you are with vehicle details—such as damage, tires, and photos—the more precise your cash offer will be. Since a dealership buyer will verify your inspection, it's essential to be as detailed as possible to ensure the original cash offer is honored.

To provide the most accurate Instant Offer, sellers need to complete a physical vehicle inspection. You can use the Cars.com app or website directly from your phone to easily take photos of your vehicle, or use the Cars.com website from your desktop to upload saved images. A local dealership buyer will verify the physical inspection, so accuracy is crucial to ensure you receive the original cash offer value.

Yes! You can redeem your Instant Offer and sell your car to a dealership buyer with no obligation to purchase a replacement vehicle.

After receiving your Instant Offer, schedule a time with your participating dealership buyer for an inspection verification within three business days.

Once your physical inspection has been verified for accuracy by the dealership buyer, you will receive payment for your vehicle from the dealer.

If a customer is selling their car without purchasing a new or used car from the dealer, the amount given to the customer will be the difference between the Instant Offer and the payoff amount. If the payoff amount is higher than the cash offer, the customer will need to pay the difference (negative equity). If the customer is buying a car while using the Instant Offer, the positive or negative equity will be factored into the deal.

Your Instant Offer is independent of any money owed on your car. We do not have information on your car loan balance. If there is a balance owed, it must be paid off as part of the transaction.

When visiting the dealer for your inspection verification, be sure to bring all available car keys, your vehicle's registration, the title (if applicable), and any outstanding loan details (if applicable).

This varies by state, but it applies in most states.

The vehicle must have a current valid tag, and any state taxes due—such as registration fees and taxes, not sales taxes—must be paid. However, if the car is a lease, in most states, the customer will need to pay sales taxes on the leased car.

In most cases, the customer or dealer will call the finance company to determine the payoff amount. Sometimes, the original dealership where the customer purchased the car will need to be contacted for the payoff amount.
