Yes, we consider vehicles in a range of conditions. Cars with mechanical issues, accident history, high mileage, or cosmetic wear are absolutely tradeable. Our appraisal process factors in all of those things-we're realistic about condition and price accordingly.

The trade-in value will reflect the vehicle's actual state, but we work with you to find fair value even if work is needed. Whether your car runs perfectly or has some issues, honesty about condition helps us give you an accurate offer.

Bring your vehicle in for an appraisal, and we'll let you know what it's worth to us. Call (847) 439-0900 to schedule or learn more about your specific situation.
