Getting an Instant Purchase Offer for your vehicle at Acura of Libertyville is quick and easy! You can obtain an Instant Purchase Offer online through our partner site, AutoTrader.com in as little as 20 minutes, or you can visit us and we will guide your through the process in-person. The entire valuation and condition confirmation process can typically be completed in about half an hour, and we will purchase your car--even if you are interested in buying a car from us. Each appraisal is backed with written offer, valid for 72 hours.
Here's how we handle appraisals:
Step one: Obtain your Instant Purchase Offer online
You can obtain an Instant Purchase Offer for your car directly through our website via AutoTrader.com's Trade-In Marketplace. Acura of Libertyville is an official Buying Center for AutoTrader.com. You are also welcome to visit us in person during business hours--no appointment necessary--and we will walk you though the free appraisal process.
Step two: Your vehicle's condition will be verified by one of our certified vehicle appraisers
The process of confirming all the information provided (including history report, accident history, and title information) and inspecting and confirming the vehicle's condition typically takes 20-30 minutes. We will then confirm your offer or explain any adjustments that need to be made based on vehicle condition or history.
The appraiser will review specific conditions that affect your car, such as mileage, its make and model, and the condition of the interior and exterior of the vehicle including dings, dents, scratches, and any repairs arising from an automobile accident. Along with other factors, including reviewing your vehicle's CARFAX report, this will help in determining your offer.
We have adopted a transparent process where any exceptions or adjustments will be explained to you in the course of the inspection. At Acura of Libertyville, YOU are part of the process in evaluating your vehicle and presenting you with a firm offer to purchase.
While your vehicle is being inspected, you are free to browse our varied inventory of available vehicles, or relax in our Acura customer lounge.
Step three: Your Instant Purchase Offer is confirmed
If your offer is confirmed based on the inspection without any exceptions or adjustments, you will have 72 hours from the original time stamp of the offer until the offer expires. Used car values can fluctuate quickly, so it is important to visit our dealership as soon as possible after receiving your offer.
If any adjustments to the offer are made, you will be provided with a written confirmation of the adjusted offer, and the 72-hour window will reset to allow you time to consider your options. You can sell us your vehicle on the spot, or take your time and think it over.
Step four: Complete the sale
We can issue a check in your name as payment to purchase your car, or we can payoff any existing liens and obtain title on your behalf.
Remember, as part of the Instant Purchase Offer, you must possess a clear title for your vehicle, so additional fees and costs may apply if your title is unavailable or held by a lender.
If you decide to sell your car to Acura of Libertyville, be sure to review our checklist of what to bring with you.
