Determining the offer to buy your car

Our car appraisers can supply you with used car values, but our specially trained appraisers take into consideration your car's specific condition. While online estimates may only provide you with a ballpark figure from market data, we'll actually buy your car after it's appraised.

How we determine your offer

To get an offer on your car, simply bring it to Citton Cars - no appointment necessary. Your car will be examined inside and out, and we'll give you an offer that day.

Our car appraisers put your car through a detailed process, ensuring you get a fair and honest offer. The process in determining your offer includes a physical inspection of your car. Since every car is different, our appraisers focus on:

*   The year, mileage, make, and model of your car

*   Interior/Exterior conditions

*   Aftermarket modifications

*   Structural damage

*   A test drive for mechanical issues

*   Your car’s history report for possible flood or frame damage and any accidents

*   Spare keys

*   Service book, users manual



Using multiple sources of data, appraisers also check general factors that affect any car of similar make and model. Your car is compared against current and accurate market conditions, such as national sales trends and auction data.

Once our appraisers analyze the information, we'll give you an offer good for seven days.

Why consider Citton Cars for an appraisal?

We buy cars every day, and our appraisal process can be done in as little as 30 minutes. Bring your car with or without a scheduled appointment to one of our HQ branch. Before coming in, see what you need to bring with you.
