You can typically find your vehicle's 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the outer lower driver's side windshield area near the dashboard, or on the driver's side door jamb on a sticker with a barcode or QR code. If you have your vehicle's registration or insurance card handy, check there first. It may save you a walk out to the vehicle.

To expedite the online appraisal process, we recommend having the following information ready for your appraisal interview: Your vehicle's VIN, the EXACT odometer reading (not rounded), a few interior and exterior photos, and some answers to a few questions about your vehicle's history. Once you have gathered this information, you can proceed to complete your online appraisal. At the end of the appraisal, you can select a convenient time and location for one of our agents to meet you and finalize the purchase.

Our online appraisal process uses the information you provide about your vehicle. However, we understand that you may not be aware of all the factors that can affect its value. These can include cosmetic or mechanical condition, service history, accident history, and even the vehicle's color. To ensure an accurate valuation, our experienced agents will conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle. This includes assessing its cosmetic condition, reviewing its history, and identifying any potential mechanical issues. After the inspection, we'll meet with you to discuss our offer in detail. We'll explain how the various factors we've assessed have influenced the valuation, both positively and negatively. We believe in transparency and want to make sure you have a clear understanding of your vehicle's fair market value.

If you’ve misplaced your vehicle’s title, don’t worry—you can still sell your car with MoreForYourCar.com! Our experienced team is well-versed in the process of obtaining a duplicate title and will assist you through each step during the final appraisal inspection. Please note that any necessary fees to secure the duplicate title will be deducted from your final appraisal value once you’ve agreed to proceed. If your title is held by a lienholder, rest assured that we will handle the payoff and obtain the title directly from them, so you don’t have to stress about a thing!

Rest assured, any remaining loan balance on your vehicle won't pose a problem. During the appraisal, we’ll determine the market value of your vehicle. If the appraised value covers your loan balance, we’ll settle the payoff directly with your lienholder. In the event that your loan balance exceeds the vehicle’s market value, we’ll ask that you cover the difference before we can finalize the purchase and complete the payoff. On the other hand, if the appraised value exceeds your loan balance, you’ll receive the difference (equity) as a check at the time of purchase. We have all the necessary documentation to facilitate the purchase and title transfer directly from your lienholder. As long as we can secure the title assignment, we’ll issue your check right away.

At MoreForYourCar.com, we offer you MORE for your car because we’re a small, local, family-owned business right here in the St. Louis area. Unlike the big, corporate buyers who have huge overhead costs and often ship your car out of the local market, we keep things simple and local. When you sell to us, your car stays in the community — it’s bought locally, sold locally, and enjoyed locally by its next owner. This helps keep money within local businesses and families, creating a positive cycle that benefits everyone. With lower overhead and no investment fund managers pushing for higher margins per transaction, we can offer you MORE. We’re not about maximizing profits at the expense of our neighbors — we’re about building relationships and supporting our local economy. So when it’s time to sell your vehicle, we hope you’ll choose to support a local, family-owned business that cares about keeping things in the community.

At MoreForYourCar.com, we don’t offer monetary guarantees on our offers because we prioritize accuracy and transparency from the start. Unlike some of our competitors, who may give inflated initial offers, we ensure that all the important details about your vehicle are collected upfront during the appraisal interview. This means you won’t be disappointed later when the final inspection is done. We do guarantee that our team will be knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. Our goal is to provide you with a fair, reliable offer right away, making the process quicker and more efficient. We believe that by both of us doing our part, you'll get MORE for your car in less time, with no surprises, let downs, or wasted effort.

If you feel your offer is too low, we strongly encourage you to get in touch with us, preferably by phone. One of our agents will thoroughly review your appraisal and verify all factors that influence the value of your vehicle. While much of the appraisal process is handled by computer systems, relying on automotive history and book values, it's possible that your vehicle could be unique, have a limited set of comparable vehicles, or there might even be a glitch in the software. If your appraisal comes in lower than expected, please reach out to us. We're committed to buying every vehicle we can, and we're happy to re-evaluate your offer.

At MoreForYourCar.com, we're proud to be a small, family-owned business right here in St. Louis. We believe in the power of community and the importance of keeping our dollars—and cars—local. The corporate mega-buyers have made things tough for small, independent dealers. Through deep pockets and corporate greed, they've cornered the market, hoarding the best vehicles for themselves and pushing the not so good vehicles back into the market at prices that simply aren't sustainable. We’re here to change that. By directly competing for these vehicles, we aim to keep more of them in the St. Louis market—where they belong. We want to give local dealers and consumers a fair shot, keeping the cars in the hands of the community that traded them in, not just the corporate giants. If you’re looking to sell your vehicle, give us the chance to make you an offer LAST. Even if it’s close to what you’ve been offered elsewhere, we believe in the value of keeping it local. Together, we can make a difference and stand up to the big players. Thank you for supporting local small business.
