Determining the Offer to Buy Your Vehicle
We buy cars, period.  All while you are treated like guest in our home! TM

Website tools may help get you into a wide range of values, but Scanlon's experienced and tenured Appraisal Managers take a close look at your vehicles condition and mechanical operation.  Websites leave you with a range of values; we will leave you with a free purchase offer in writing.

How does Scanlon determine the offer?

We welcome setting up an appointment to make the most of your time, but an appointment is not necessary.  We appraise vehicles in as little as 30 minutes free of charge.  Your appraisal is valid for seven days, should you not choose to sell us your vehicle immediately.

How is your offer analyzed?

Our appraisers have a detailed inspection process to ensure the full value of your vehicle is discovered.  This process includes a physical inspection of your vehicle, and an online search for market data in the region.  Items that we focus on are:
  • Year, Make, Model, Trim, and Mileage
  • Vehicle Exterior/Interior conditions
  • Damage
  • Tire wear
  • Mechanical condition
  • Modifications
  • Any non-factory paintwork
  • Carfax Report 
  • Number of functional keys, and owner's manuals

Using book data, online auction reports, and market area retail reports help dial in a fair and accurate appraisal for SW Florida.  Your vehicle is compared to all similar regional vehicles that are currently in the marketplace utilizing; dealer retail numbers, national sales trends, and days' supply of your specific model available.  And finally, years of SW Florida experience aid in making the final call for value.

We will buy ANY car, so come in for your free appraisal today!  Remember, your appraisal is valid for seven days, should you not choose to sell us your vehicle immediately.  See what you need to bring with you  if you decide to sell us your vehicle.  If you have questions, please visit our FAQ  section.

Why should I sell my car to Scanlon vs. Selling it else ware?

  • Scanlon Acura appraisals are free
        Selling your own car means paying to list it in advertising, keeping insurance active, maintenance, and          continuing to pay license fees while you try to sell it.       
  • Scanlon Acura will buy ANY vehicle
        Some places will only buy certain vehicles, leaving you short of time after discovering that fact
  • Scanlon Acura Appraisers are trained in SW Florida Markets
        Some of the other companies are not familiar with the value a SW Florida car commands and online                       estimators cannot judge what tenured experienced appraisers can.
  • Scanlon Acura will buy your car the same day!
        Private party sales can take weeks of: securing loans, fielding multiple phone calls, listing 
        advertisements appointments, and meeting with people on your free time.
  • With Scanlon, you do not have to worry about liens, titles, or future issues
        We can pay off your vehicle, secure the title for you, and you walk away.   Private party sales may mean 
        issues down the road for the seller
  • Scanlon will buy your vehicle, period.  All while feeling like a guest in our own home.  
        At Scanlon we understand you may want to sell us your vehicle, and not by a car.  We handle vehicle         
        purchases as a separate transaction from the sales process.  Enjoy refreshment, and feel good while we     
        inspect your vehicle.
