Can I sell my vehicle without buying a car?
Yes, and at Bachman Buys we created an entire business model around purchasing vehicles from people whether they buy a car from us or not.
Can I get an offer for my vehicle online?
Yes, Bachman Buys was created so that consumers could get an online value for their car. It’s fast and convenient!
How do you determine my offer?
We use several state-of-the-art software tools that monitor current market conditions locally and nationally. We may buy your vehicle in Louisville but sell it in another part of the country, leveraging markets the average person doesn’t have access to.
How do I get paid for my vehicle?
Get paid the same day by check. It’s quick and easy! See “How It Works” for more details.
Do I need an appointment to get an offer on my vehicle?
No. However, an appointment is nice because we value your time. We can schedule an appointment at the Bachman Car Buying Center, or we can come to you. Appointment or not, we have full-time car buying representatives who meet with people every day that are looking to sell their car. We want to make the process convenient for you.
Already received an offer to sell your car to us but we’re hoping for a bit more?
Yes. We're happy to take another look! Just reach out, and we'll review our analytics to see if we can improve our offer to purchase your car.
Can I sell my car if I still owe money on a current auto loan?
Yes. Bring your auto loan or bank information, and we can assist in getting an exact payoff amount. If your payoff amount is less than our offer on your vehicle, we will pay off your loan and pay you the difference for your car. If your payoff amount is more than our offer for your vehicle, we’ll need to explore some options, and we’re happy to do it.
Can I sell you my car even if I leased it?
Yes. We can even buy your car if you leased it. Bring in your lease documents, and we’ll call the leaseholder together. We will want to get an accurate payoff amount plus any fees the leaseholder may charge. We’re happy to help do the homework so you can make the best decision possible.
How long does it take for the lender or leaseholder to receive the funds if I sell my vehicle to you?
We are going to send the funds immediately because we need the lien-free title. Most delays we’ve encountered are with the lending institution processing the payoff on their end. To protect yourself, make any payments due on or before the due date until you are notified by your lender that your loan or lease has been paid off. The lender will refund you any amounts over the quoted payoff amount once all the processing has been completed. Talk to your loan or leaseholder for specifics.
Can I sell my car even if I’ve lost my title?
Yes. Our buying representatives are trained to handle every aspect of purchasing vehicles, including applying for lost titles.
What happens if the car I want to sell isn’t in my name?
Our buying representatives are trained to handle every aspect of purchasing vehicles, including coordinating the paperwork even when the title may not be in your name. For example, if the person on the title is deceased.
Do you “withhold” money from the check for my vehicle while making sure everything checks out on it?
Unlike some of our competitors, we provide you with full payment upfront. Our process is transparent and straightforward, ensuring you receive the agreed-upon amount without causing you a delay. We believe in building trust and making the transaction as smooth as possible for you. The rare instance where partial funds may be withheld would occur if property taxes are owed, additional liens are placed on the vehicle, or in cases where we are unable to obtain a free and clear title for the vehicle because an unpaid amount is due to a financial institutions, government entities, or other institutions or individuals.
Will you make me an offer on my vehicle even if it has dents, dings, or scratches?
Yes. Most people looking to sell their car are pleasantly surprised by how much we are willing to pay, even if the car isn't in perfect condition. While we do consider the car's condition when making an offer, you are always free to decline if it doesn't meet your expectations.
Will you buy a vehicle from an estate and/or deceased family members?
Absolutely. Our buyers and title work staff are trained in the intricacies of unfortunate situations like these and can facilitate the transaction swiftly and efficiently.
Have you received an offer to sell your vehicle to a competitor but would prefer to do business with Bachman?
Yes, you're not alone! We'd love the chance to match or beat an offer to sell your vehicle. Let us know what you've been offered, and we'll do our best to provide you with a better deal.
Will you beat my CARMAX offer?
Yes! We typically offer more than Carmax, but occasionally their automated system will give a higher offer. Just bring us your Carmax in-store offer, and we will beat it!
