Okay here is the scenario. We moved to Philly from the suburbs and with two cars which we park on the street. We had to sell one, immediately! So we get a flyer from the dealer who sold us the Lexus which announces, «We need low mileage cars because we have very low inventory and demand is high. Would you be willing to sell us your Lexus hybrid?» So I trundle off to the dealer and tell him that the car is three years old and only has 15K on it. In the end, the dealer was $ 5K away from what I thought the car was worth. I considered going to another dealer but felt I was going to encounter the same issues. I was a very unhappy trooper at this point.
I remember my son had sold his car to we buy any car, three years ago, and had gotten top dollar for it. I knew the blue book value of the car and went online to we buy any car and, voila, they offered me online almost $ 6K more than the offer from the dealer, sight unseen. I went to their Essington Ave location and in half an hour walked out with a check that was close to the blue book value. The end of the story is I made more than $ 5K that the dealer refused to offer me and the whole process was easy, transparent, and the sales staff couldn’t be nicer.
I am not sure what Ed B. is talking about, if he thinks he can do better at a dealer, go for it because based on my experience, dealers will give you a lot less money than we buy any car will. I really appreciate the fact that the staff at this location was so nice and they didn’t waste my time with a bunch of sales gamesmanship. The company immediately wholesales your car so this is a business which relies on volume and it has little to no overhead. This is what many car dealers do but they have massive overhead and sales staff that is in constant competition. This is a recipe, as the consumer, to get taken.
This service and the staff at the Essington Avenue location gets my highest recommendation! This is a great spot to sell your car.

They are not going to give you what they quoted you, so don’t count on it.

I needed to sell my car and I didn’t have much time to do so before the registration/​parking permits needed to be renewed. I really just wanted to see what they would offer me.
I filled out an evaluation online and received a starting quote of $ 2320. I did NOT make an appointment, I just showed up. The office is bare bones and was a little hard to find in the auto mall. I went in and the office manager was finishing up with another customer. They had an older looking Chevy Tahoe and I could overhear all of the things wrong with the vehicle. The manager explained that under the name «we buy any car» they will actually buy ANY car so long as a) it was never flooded or totaled and b) the odometer was never re-​set or otherwise rolled back in any way… HOWEVER, their offer was $ 200 and that is lowest they will give anyone. They left without selling. I immediately regretted coming here… just assumed they do that to everyone and hope people are desperate. However, after a few minutes with the office manager myself, he seemed to be pretty genuine.
I worked with Dwayne Johnson… after the other folks left he explained the process to me. He did another estimate and it came out the same ($ 2320) and then he did a walk around the car (noting any damage) and took it for a test drive. He came back in and entered the issues into the computer and we settled on $ 2000. I was very pleased with that and accepted the offer and left with a check. I probably could have sold it for $ 3000 had I done some minor repairs to it, however, the cost of those repairs and paint touch up, detailed cleaning, filing the paperwork, and then of course the hassle of Craigslist, for me personally it was worth it.
Internet evaluation: $ 2320

Tip: If you put 6815 Essington Avenue in your GPS it actually takes you right there, using 6719 put me in some weird spot where I could not see the building.
