Get a real offer for your car in a few minutes. It’s good for 7 days, and you don’t have to buy a car from us.

  • Good for 7 days
  • No purchase needed
  • Sell it or trade it in

Next: mileage, a few condition questions and where to send your offer.

Your plate or VIN is used to look up your car and check that it qualifies for an online offer. Offers powered by Edmunds.

How Bob’s Offer works

  1. Tell us about your car

    Enter your plate or VIN, then the mileage and a few questions about its condition.

  2. Get your offer

    Your offer shows on screen, a copy goes to your email, and it's good for 7 days.

  3. Bring it in and get paid

    We check that the car matches your answers. If it does, you get the exact amount of your online offer, as a check or as credit toward your next car.

What to bring

  • Your title, or your lender's payoff information if you still have a loan. Everyone on the title should come in.
  • Current registration
  • A valid state-issued photo ID for each person on the title
  • All keys and remotes

Sell it or trade it

Sell your car to us for a check, with no purchase needed. Or trade it in and put your offer toward a new or used vehicle. A trade-in can also lower the sales tax on your next vehicle, and the store can show you how that works on your deal.

Questions about Bob’s Offer

Why do you need my plate or VIN?

It tells us exactly which car you have and lets us check that it qualifies for an online offer. Not every vehicle does, and the check includes a vehicle history report.

How long is my offer good for?

7 days. If it expires, you can get a new offer, but the amount may be different.

Do I have to buy a car from you?

No. You can sell us your car without buying one.

Will my offer change when you see the car?

We check that your answers online match the car. If they do, you get the exact amount of your online offer.

Can I put my offer toward another car?

Yes. Trade it in and use your offer toward a new or used vehicle instead of taking a check.
