Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) to easily provide your vehicle information. Then describe the physical condition of your vehicle.
Many dealers or websites give you an estimate or a wide range of values. At Midstate we will review your information and get back to you with a real certified offer^ that is good for 5 days or 500 miles, which ever comes first.
Save time at the dealership. Over 75% of the appraisal process can be done on-line when it is convenient for you. Once you arrive we will inspect and verify your vehicles condition, allowing us to complete your purchase faster or give you a check that same day if you would prefer to sell your vehicle to us.
Trying to sell your car privately can be a hassle. It is stress you don’t need. You have to do things like take photos, post it online, figuring out if you want to try a free listing or pay for an on-line listing to get more exposure. You will need to field phone calls, answer e-mails and have strangers come to your home for test drives. You also need to ensure your car is kept clean at all times, maintained and all parts are working to get a good offer and chance of selling it. You will probably be asked to hold it while people try to work out their financing. Trading your vehicle with us saves you the hassles, waste of time and headaches.
When you trade in your vehicle and purchase another vehicle, you only pay purchase and use (sales) tax on the difference between the trade-in value and the price of the vehicle you are purchasing. That saves you money, reducing monthly payments or the cash outlay. Consider this a $15,000 trade at Vermont’s 6% tax rate equals $900. That is a lot of money you save up front by trading.
Our certified offer^ is based on the accuracy of the information supplied by yourself and outside service providers we contract with. The offer is good for 5 days or 500 miles, provided that the miles on the car do not go over an incremental 10,000 mile mark or are within 100 miles of going over an incremental 10,000 mile mark [i.e. car was valued based on 99,700 miles but had 100,050 when presented to us for a physical inspection] Once you arrive at the store, ask for the contact person that provided you with our offer and we will promptly verify the information and condition of the vehicle based on your description. Then you can proceed with the purchase of a vehicle from us or sell us your car.
