Frequently Asked Questions
How does selling or trading in my car work?
Start online in about two minutes: enter your license plate or VIN, answer a few questions about your vehicle's mileage, condition, and features, and you'll get a real offer right away. From there, bring the vehicle to our Wahpeton store, where we confirm the details, handle the paperwork, and either pay you or apply the value to your next vehicle.
Can I sell you my car if I'm not buying one?
Yes. There's no purchase required to get an offer or sell to us. Plenty of people come in just to sell — get your offer online, bring the car by, and leave with your payment.
How does a trade-in work?
A trade-in means putting your current vehicle's value toward the one you buy next, which lowers what you finance or pay up front. In North Dakota and Minnesota it can also reduce your sales tax, since you're only taxed on the difference after the trade. Save your offer and you'll see it applied as you shop.
How do you decide what my car is worth?
Your offer reflects the details you share — mileage, condition, options, and history — measured against live market data and what comparable vehicles are selling for locally. That produces a real, current number instead of a rough estimate.
What documents do I need?
Usually just a few: a valid photo ID, your vehicle's title (or loan and payoff details if you still owe), and your current odometer reading. If there's a lease or more than one owner on the title, we'll tell you what else to bring.
How and when do I get paid?
Once we confirm the vehicle and finish the paperwork at our Wahpeton store, you're paid — typically by check, or by direct deposit if you prefer. The visit is quick: we verify the basics, you sign a couple of documents, and you're on your way.
Can I sell or trade a car I still owe money on?
Absolutely, and it's common. Bring your loan payoff information (we can often help track it down) and we'll pay your lender directly. If the car is worth more than you owe, that equity goes to you or toward your next vehicle. Keep making your normal payments until the sale is final so you avoid any late fees.
Can I sell or trade a leased vehicle?
Often, yes — it depends on your leasing company's buyout rules. Bring your lease information and our team will check whether we can pay it off and walk you through the next steps.
How long is my offer good for?
Your offer is valid for a set window, and we'll confirm the exact timeframe when you receive it. As long as your vehicle matches what you described, the number holds; if anything changes, we'll simply put together an updated offer.
What if my car's condition is different than I described?
No problem. When you come in, we take a quick look to make sure everything matches what you entered. If something's different, we'll adjust the offer with you right then. Sharing accurate details up front just makes the visit faster.
