Pricing & Appraisals
We use current real-time market data, vehicle condition, mileage, local demand, and regional pricing trends to calculate a fair written offer. Unlike national online algorithms, our local appraisals account for Connecticut and Massachusetts market conditions. Every appraisal is free and comes with no obligation.
You simply drive slowly through our UVeye AI drive-through scanner. In seconds it captures tire tread and wear, a full underbody scan, and a 360° exterior scan — objective condition data we combine with real-time market pricing to build your offer. We can even show you the results on screen. See our scanning technology in action.
No. Our vehicle appraisals are completely free with zero obligation. You can request an appraisal online, by phone at (860) 698-8600, or in person. If you do not like the offer, you are free to walk away. There are no hidden fees or charges.
In most cases, you can receive a competitive vehicle offer within 30 minutes during business hours. Fill out our online form or call us at (860) 698-8600 with your vehicle details, and we will respond quickly with a no-obligation offer.
Documents & Paperwork
To sell your car in Connecticut, you typically need: (1) the vehicle title signed by the registered owner, (2) a valid photo ID such as a driver's license, and (3) a bill of sale. If you have lost your title, contact the CT DMV for a duplicate title. Download the required CT DMV forms and review CT DMV fees online. We can help guide you through the paperwork process.
To sell your car in Massachusetts, you generally need: (1) the Certificate of Title signed by the seller, (2) a valid photo ID, and (3) the vehicle's registration. Massachusetts also requires a completed RMV-3 form (Assignment of Title). If your title is missing, the MA RMV can issue a duplicate. We help with all paperwork.
