Rather just bring it by?

Drive it over and we will appraise it while you wait. We are open seven days a week at 5015 W Sahara Ave Ste 127, Las Vegas, NV 89146.

What to bring

  • The title — or, if you still owe on it, your lender’s name and account number so we can get the payoff
  • Your driver’s license
  • The current registration
  • All the keys and remotes you have

Appraisal amounts are based on the information you provide and are confirmed after we physically inspect the vehicle. Offers are subject to verification of title, mileage and condition.

What sets your trade-in value in Las Vegas

Online estimates give you a range. The real number comes from your actual car and what cars like it are bringing here this week. These are what an appraiser looks at:

  • Mileage and year. The starting point for every car.
  • Condition. Tires, brakes, windshield, paint, interior, and anything on the dashboard that should not be lit.
  • History. Accidents, title brands and how many owners it has had.
  • Local demand. Trucks, SUVs and work vans move quickly in Las Vegas. A car that sells fast is worth more to a dealer.
  • Heat wear. Dash cracks, faded paint and tired A/C all show up here sooner than in milder places.

Trade it in or sell it yourself?

Selling on your own can bring more money, but you deal with strangers, test drives and paperwork. A trade-in is one stop, and in Nevada tax is generally charged on the price after your trade-in comes off. You can see what that saves with our car sales tax calculator, and we walk through the choice in trade in or sell privately.

Still making payments?

You can trade in a car with a loan on it. Read trading in a car you still owe money on for how the payoff works, including when you owe more than the car is worth.

Common questions

Can I trade in a car I still owe money on?
Yes. Bring your lender’s name and account number. We get the payoff and tell you straight where you stand. If you owe less than the car is worth, that difference can go toward your next car.
Do I have to buy a car from you to sell you mine?
No. We buy cars whether or not you are shopping with us.
How long does an appraisal take?
We appraise it while you wait. We are open seven days a week, and you can start with the form on this page to get a number first.
Does a trade-in save me sales tax in Nevada?
Generally yes. When you buy from a dealer, tax is charged on the price after your trade-in value comes off. At the Clark County rate of 8.375%, a $5,000 trade-in saves about $419 in tax.
What lowers a trade-in value the most?
High mileage, accident history, warning lights, worn tires and body damage. A clean car, all the keys and your service records help.
