Term 01
An estimate is an informed starting point.
An estimate commonly combines vehicle details with market data to suggest a value or range. It may not represent a buyer willing to purchase that exact vehicle for that amount.
Term 02
An online offer may be real, but it still has terms.
Some online buyers issue a written amount after receiving VIN, mileage, condition, history, and location information. The offer may be time-limited or conditional on the vehicle and documents matching what was submitted.
Read the expiration, inspection, pickup, payment, payoff, mileage, condition, and fee language in the actual offer.
Term 03
A local in-person appraisal connects the data to the real car.
A reviewer can verify the VIN, mileage, equipment, keys, visible condition, warning lights, tires, modifications, ownership documents, and other details that may be incomplete online.
The participating franchise-dealer buyer can also consider its own inventory needs and local demand before deciding whether to issue a final written offer. The online Get More submission is an appraisal request, not an online value or offer.
Bring the paperwork
The best comparison puts current written terms side by side.
If you already have a Carvana, CarMax, We Buy Any Car, dealer, or other written offer, bring it with you. Compare the amount, expiration, conditions, payment method, payoff handling, and required handoff—not just the largest number on the first screen.
Common questions
What people ask next.
Can I bring another company’s written offer?
Yes. Bring a current copy so you can compare its amount and terms with any local written offer that may be issued after review.
Does Get More guarantee it will beat another offer?
No. A higher local offer is possible, not guaranteed. The point is to give a different buyer the chance to review the real vehicle and let you compare any resulting written terms before deciding.
