A local dealer that has been prequalified to make offers on our platform is absolutely capable of paying more than national dealerships or bog-box vehicle aggregators. 

The lower overhead, and constant need to keep inventory on hand for loyal customers means that independent auto-dealers are motivated to pay more, and provide better service in order to compete with the volume sales that larger dealerships receive. 

Judge for yourself, though. Submit your vehicle for an offer and see how fast we can get back with you, the lack of complicated dealership checks, and the simple process all combine with a higher overall offer to give you better ROI for your time and effort. 

You can request an offer for your used vehicle HERE. 

Whether you want to exit your current vehicle because of a non-optimal loan, or because you don’t enjoy driving it anymore, it doesn’t matter. Our dealers have been pre-vetted to ensure their ability to pay off loan facilities and provide you with cash in hand. 

Once you’ve requested an offer, the dealer can get in touch with your lender to confirm your (10-day) payoff amount, and upon agreement, the dealer will then make a direct payment to your lender to pay it off. 

As soon that that transaction closes, you can get the cash difference stipulated by the offer in your hands. 

Usually there is an offer in 30 minutes or less. Most transactions take place in short intervals within a day of your offer being extended. That means you can get paid out, and forget about the hassle of holding onto that used car you no longer want. 

There are no complicated processes or large amounts of paperwork needed. 

We operate a dealer network that relies upon us to help source vehicles from around Southern California. Our Offices are in San Diego and Riverside County. But we don’t service the end user like you in the sense that we implement the buying process. 

We are an intermediary that ensures you are dealing with reputable dealers, with higher cash offers than competitors. We also provide delaers with an additional lead generation service to find the right sellers of used vehicles. 

We are constantly adding functionality to our dealer offering to attracta nd service the premium dealers in Southern California including the following counties:

San Diego

Riverside

Los Angeles

Orange

San Bernardino

Our dealers may make an offer from any of these areas, but will come to you to finalize the transaction. The delaer handles all customer interactions after an offer is submitted. 

We handle any feedback, intake of information and facilitate you getting the best offer on the table. We invite you to reach out to get the maximum benefit from our seller platform.  

Note: we are not affiliated with any national car buying dealerships and do not have a relationship with any dealers mentioned here. 

National Dealers and buyers like CarMax, Carvana, Vroom, KBB and others are a big part of the changing landscape of the automobile buying experience. They offer some interesting advantages. 

Notably, however, they are not able to offer some of the strategic advantages of smaller, local dealers. There is a reason that the big-box car dealerships have not put the small local mom-and-pop dealers out of business. Small businesses have more flexibility, agility, lower overhead and the ability to offer more personalized services.  

Our pre-qualified network of dealers means you get peace of mind in finding a reputable, easy to understand dealership that can offer you more for your used vehicle. We take care of the pre-qualification and we help route you the best offer by one of our premium dealers in your geographic location. The dealer can make a better offer and offer quicker, easier transactions, and a faster, hassle-free car selling experience for you. 

Additionally, we don’t sell or share your information outside of placing you in contact with the dealer that submits the best offer. We evaluate all transactional feedback to continuously improve the process and protect our users (you and the dealer) by setting proper transactional protocols and best practices. 

Furthermore, we offer a concierge car buying experience, that can help you locate the right car, right now, if you decide you want to use our service to source your next vehicle purchase.

Again, we insulate you from hundreds of phone calls and annoying dealership sales tactics. We provide only what you need on either side of the buying or selling equation.

As a neutral third-party we can deliver on both fronts. 

We look forward to working for you to find your next vehicle, or get you out of the one you no longer love. 

No! Our dealer network understands that they may be bidding on vehicles that are no currently running. The amount of their offer will include any ability for them to benefit from repair work that they can provide to get the vehicle up and running for resale. 

All we ask is that you offer full-transparency about the current state of the vehicle to minimize concerns, excessive travel and waste of resources. Be clear in what you know about the vehicle you desire an offer on. 

Many times, a vehicle that is not currently running can find the sweet spot for maximum offers, as the dealer that makes the offer may be able to profit through repair costs, and their existing mechanical abilities. 

Many of the users of PreQualAuto.com find they get offers that they never would have been able to find in the private party market or which would never be extended by major national footprint dealerships.
