Once your vehicle has been appraised, we'll give you a written offer that's good for up to five days and you are under no obligation to buy one of Ottawa Dodge's vehicles if you sell us yours. If you decide to sell us your vehicle, be sure to read our checklist of what to bring with you .
You must bring your vehicle to Ottawa Dodge at 900 St Laurent Blvd in Ottawa, ON to receive an appraisal. To determine your offer, one of our appraisers will need to inspect and test drive your vehicle. When we're done, we'll give you a written offer good for up to five days.
Even though we'll buy any vehicle, only about half of those bought by Ottawa Dodge will ever be sold to the public. Each vehicle must pass our rigorous inspection before we'll consider it for our lot; vehicles that don't meet our high-quality standards are sold at auctions or to other dealers.
If you have questions about the appraisal of your vehicle, please speak with the appraiser who produced the offer. Our appraisers will provide a thorough explanation about the factors that influenced your offer.
Our appraisal offers vary from retail prices for several reasons. Due to the costs associated with reconditioning and applying guarantees and warranties on the vehicles we purchase for retail sale, we must purchase a vehicle at a lesser amount than what we will sell it for. All vehicles that we purchase for retail sale, regardless of the condition, must undergo a thorough multi-point inspection, vehicle certification, and be reconditioned to meet our high-quality standards.
You can have your vehicle professionally appraised at 900 St Laurent Blvd in Ottawa, Ontario. This process usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, and we'll give you a written offer that's good for up to five days when we're done. Find out how our appraisal process works here .
The Ottawa Dodge written offer is good for up to five days, and is valid whether you buy a vehicle from us or not. Most dealership’s appraisals are based on you trading in your vehicle for a new one, and they won't buy your vehicle outright.
No. We make a written, no-haggle offer on every appraised vehicle.
Supply and demand ultimately determines the desirability of any vehicle or feature in the marketplace. A feature sometimes could improve the offer, and other times it could have a negative impact depending on the feature/modification. Sometimes, an aftermarket modification may void the factory warranty, thus reducing the offer.
Yes. Regular maintenance and repairs will have an effect on your vehicle's overall physical and mechanical condition, thereby impacting on your appraisal offer.
No appraisal appointment is necessary. Just visit Ottawa Dodge at 900 St Laurent Blvd in Ottawa, Ontario or contact us for details. Your appraisal will take as little as 30 minutes. If you would like to set an appointment, please contact us .
If all titleholders cannot be present, you must speak to one of our Sales Managers before proceeding with the transaction. In some cases, we may be able to accept a Power of Attorney, allowing someone else to sign on the absent titleholder's behalf. If a titleholder is deceased, you may have to transfer the title into your name before Ottawa Dodge can buy your vehicle. A friendly Ottawa Dodge Manager will be happy to help you with this.
In most cases, you can sell your leased vehicle in almost the same way as any other financed vehicle. We'll appraise the vehicle, then contact the leasing company for a payoff quote and process any equity you might have. Please note that some leasing companies will not allow you to sell the vehicle prior to the expiration of the lease. Also, be aware that your leased vehicle might not be eligible for trade-in tax savings. Check with your leasing company for complete details.
If your pay-off amount is more than the offer for your vehicle, the difference is called "negative equity." In most cases, the negative equity can be included in your financing when you buy a vehicle from us. If not, we'll calculate the difference between your pay-off and our offer to you and you can pay Ottawa Dodge directly. Ottawa Dodge will accept payment by certified bank draft, cash, and/or a major credit card. Our written offers are good for up to five days, giving you time to get any necessary funds to settle your transaction.
We will need to contact your lien holder during business hours to get a lien payoff. To pay off the lien, we will need your lien holder's name and phone number, the name(s) on the account, and your lien account number. If a previously paid-off lien is listed on the title, you'll need both the title and the lien release from the lien holder before we can purchase your vehicle.
If you would like to sell a vehicle on behalf of a company, we will provide you with the requirements during the appraisal visit.
