Make sure both buyers reviewed the same condition, mileage, use, equipment, and history.
Carvana. CarMax. Any written offer.
Bring the offer. Let a local buyer compete.
A national online offer does not have to be the only number you consider. Bring the complete terms and your car. A participating local franchise-dealer buyer will review the real vehicle and independently decide what it is worth to them.
One more buyer. One more real comparison.Different buyers can reach different offers.
A higher local offer is possible, not guaranteed. Compare the complete current terms.
The side-by-side test
Make sure you are comparing the same car and the whole deal.
Use the same VIN, mileage, condition, equipment, history, ownership, and date window. Then review every term that affects what happens next.
Read expiration, verification, fees, payment, payoff, pickup, and drop-off language.
Market conditions and offer terms move, so compare current documents rather than old screenshots.
We do not promise that every local written offer will beat every competitor. Offers are independently determined and can differ in amount, eligibility, verification, timing, payment, expiration, and other terms.
Already have a number?
Good. Give one more local buyer a chance.
Bring the current writing and the real car. You keep the final decision.
