ARE YOU LOOKING TO SELL YOUR CAR? Instead of trying to sell your car on your own, or trade it in, you can just call SellMax of Reno instead. SellMax often purchases cars the same day an individual calls in. We can make the process very quick. Why not just skip the hassle of waiting for a buyer to come along or waiting on a third-party to do the same. Let us introduce you to the SellMax way.
THE SELLMAX BUYING PROCESS IS COMPLETED IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Step 1: Evaluate the car title and establish ownership rights to sell
- Check photo ID, address and driver license number
- Check State DMV for clear title.
Step 2: Find the Value of the Car: Kelly Blue Book value and mechanical inspection
Step 3: SellMax makes a written offer to buy the car.
- There is no pressure to accept the offer. In fact, our offer to purchase
stands for 14 days, with our iron-clad buying guarantee.
Step 4: If the SellMax offer is accepted, a Service Representative will prepare all
the paperwork for the actual sale of the vehicle: a Vehicle Bill of Sale,
Odometer Certification, Disclosures, etc. Once you’ve signed all necessary
documentation, you are done.
Step 5: Your Sales Representative prepares and delivers your payment to you.
- Seller takes possession of his own state license plates and returns them to DMV.
That it! It's that simple! Your check will be ready shortly and you are on your way.
