01

Online Estimate & Visit

Selling your car starts with a few simple steps. Get an online estimate first with our Value Your Trade tool, then stop by 1468 Savannah Hwy for the real thing. No appointment necessary.

02

In-Person Appraisal

Once you arrive, one of our appraisers reviews your car's year, make, model, mileage, and condition, inside, outside, and under the hood. We also take it for a quick test drive and check the basics, like brakes and turn signals. Most appraisals wrap up in well under an hour.

03

Straightforward Payment

From there, you get a straightforward offer. Accept it, and you can often walk away with payment the same day, or a check within 24 hours of your appraisal. You are never required to buy a vehicle from us to sell yours. If you do want to upgrade, your buy back value applies directly toward a new or pre-owned vehicle.

We Buy Cars, Trucks, and SUVs of Every Make and Model
Every Make & Model

We Buy Cars, Trucks, and SUVs of Every Make and Model

Your vehicle does not need to be a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, or Ram for us to make an offer. We buy vehicles across every brand, body style, and condition, from daily commuters to work trucks.

Still making payments or leasing? That works too. We will appraise the vehicle, contact your lender or leasing company for a payoff quote, and apply any equity toward your offer. Some leases restrict early sale, so check your agreement or ask our team before you visit.

Preparation Checklist

What to Bring When You Sell Your Car in Charleston

A little preparation keeps your appraisal moving. Bring these items with you:

  • All keys, remotes, and owner's manuals. Missing originals can lower your offer.
  • A valid, state-issued photo ID for every person listed on the title.
  • The vehicle title, or your payoff information if you are still financing.
  • A lien release letter if a previous loan on the title has already been paid off.

Every titleholder should plan to be present. Missing a document? Let us know, and we will help you sort out next steps before your visit.

Appraisal Advice

Tips for a Stronger Appraisal

A few details can make a real difference in your offer. Mileage, overall condition, and how well the vehicle has been maintained all factor into what we can pay.

Before you visit, give the car a quick wash and clear out personal items, inside and out. Gather any service records you have. A documented maintenance history shows we are looking at a well cared for vehicle, not a guess.

Charleston's humidity and salt air can be tough on paint and the undercarriage over time, so a recent detail or a quick rust check can help your appraisal reflect the vehicle's true condition rather than surface wear. Every original key and remote matters too. A missing key is one of the most common reasons an offer comes in lower than expected.

The Smarter Choice

Buy Back vs. Private Sale

Selling privately can sometimes bring a higher price, but it also means posting ads, screening buyers, handling test drives, and managing the paperwork yourself. That takes time most people do not have.

Our Buy Back Program trades some of that upside for speed and certainty. You get a real offer the same day, backed by a dealership that has served the Lowcountry for more than four decades, without the wait, the negotiating, or the risk of a deal falling through. For many Charleston sellers juggling work and family schedules, that trade-off is worth it.
