We'll buy any car

Other dealers and online estimators, like  Canadian Black Book , can supply you with used car values, but our specially trained appraisers take into consideration your car's specific condition. And while online estimates may only provide you with a ballpark figure from market data, we'll actually buy your car after it's appraised.

How we determine your offer

To get an offer on your car, simply bring it to Condie Automotive, no appointment necessary. Your car will be examined inside and out, and we'll give you an offer that day. This process will take minimum 30 minutes depending on how busy we are.

Our car appraisers put your car through a detailed process, ensuring you get a fair and honest offer. The process in determining your offer includes a physical inspection of your car. Since every car is different, our appraisers focus on:

·         The year, km's, make, and model of your car

·         Interior/Exterior conditions

·         Aftermarket modifications

·         Structural damage

·         A test drive for mechanical issues

·         Your car's history report  for possible flood or frame damage and any accidents

Using multiple sources of data, appraisers also check general factors that affect any car of similar make and model. Your car is compared against current and accurate market conditions, such as national sales trends and auction data.

Once our appraisers analyze the information, we'll give you a free written offer good for seven days. Our FAQ section can help answer any questions you have before your visit.

Why consider Condie Automotive for an appraisal?

We buy cars everyday, and our appraisel process can be done in as little as 30 minutes. Bring your car with or without a scheduled appointment to our store. Before coming in, see what you need to bring with you.

You must bring your car to a Condie Automotive store to receive an appraisal. To determine your offer, one of our appraisers will need to inspect and test drive your car. When we're done, we'll give you a written offer good for seven days.

4. What happens to the cars Condie Automotive buys?

Even though we'll buy any car, only about half of those bought by Condie Automotive will ever be sold to the public. Each car must pass our rigorous inspection before we'll consider it for our lot, and cars that don't meet our high-quality standards are sold at auctions to other dealers.

5. Will you explain how you appraised my car?

If you have questions about the appraisal of your car, speak with the appraiser who developed the offer. Our appraisers can provide a thorough explanation about the factors that influenced your offer. Start now by contacting a Sales Consultant.

6. Will I get different offers at different Dealers?

Maybe. Your written offer will remain the same from Condie Automotive for 14 days.

7. Why is your written offer different from retail prices?

Our appraisal offers vary from retail prices for several reasons. Due to the costs associated with reconditioning and applying guarantees and warranties on the cars we purchase for retail sale, we must purchase a car at a lesser amount than what we will sell it for. All cars that we purchase for retail sale, regardless of the condition, must undergo a thorough 100-point inspection  and be reconditioned to meet our high-quality standards.

8. How can I get an offer for my car?

You can have your car professionally appraised at Condie Automotive. This process usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, and we'll give you a written offer that's good for seven days when we're done. For more information, find out how our appraisal process works.

9. What makes Condie Automotive different from traditional dealer appraisals?

The Condie Automotive written offer is good for seven days, and is valid whether you buy a car from us or not. Most traditional dealerships appraisals are based on you trading in your car for a new one, and they won't buy your car outright. And if you decide not to buy a car from us, your offer will stay the same.

10. Is your offer negotiable?

No. We make a written, no-haggle offer on every appraised car.

11. Will making modifications to my car affect the offer?

Supply and demand ultimately determines the desirability of any car 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. For more information, visit the Determining Your Offer section.

12. Will regular maintenance/repairs affect the offer?

Your car's overall physical and mechanical condition will have an impact on your appraisal offer. For more information about how we determine our offer, visit the Determining Your Offer section.

13. Do I need an appointment for an appraisal?

No appraisal appointment is necessary. Just visit Condie Automotive or call for details. Your appraisal takes as little as 30 minutes. If you would like to set up an appointment, contact Condie Automotive, or consult a Sales Consultant.

14. How can I save on taxes if I buy and sell at Condie Automotive?

Lower the amount of taxes you pay when you buy a Condie Automotive car when you selling us a car at the same time. You will only pay the HST on the difference and not the whole purchase price of the new car.

Certain situations may disqualify you from receiving a tax break. For example, your name must be on both the paperwork to buy a car and the paperwork to sell a car in order for the tax break to apply. Check with Condie Automotive Sales Consultant for details.

15. What if all titleholders cannot be present or one is deceased?

If all titleholders cannot be present, you must speak to a Business Office Associate before selling a car to Condie Automotive.

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 Condie Automotive can buy your car. This can usually be done by taking the ownership and supporting papers to the local license office.

16. Can you sell my leased car?

In most cases, you can sell your leased car in almost the same way as any other financed car. We'll appraise the car or truck, 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 car prior to the expiration of the lease. Also, be aware that your leased car might not be eligible for the trade-in tax savings described above. Check with your leasing company for complete details.

17. What if I owe more on my car than the amount of your appraisal offer?

If your pay-off amount is more than the offer for your car, the difference is called "negative equity." In some cases, the negative equity can be included in your financing  when you buy a Condie Automotive car. If not, we'll calculate the difference between your pay-off and our offer to you and you can pay Condie Automotive directly. Condie Automotive Car Buying Center can accept certified checks and certified funds. If the amount you owe is less than $250, we will accept a personal check. Our written offers are good for seven days, giving you time to get any necessary funds to settle your transaction.

18. If I choose to sell Condie Automotive my car, could I get it back?

No. All car sales to Condie Automotive are final.

19. What if I have a lien on my car?

We will need to contact your lien holder during business hours to get a 15-day 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 holder's account number and social security number. If a previously paid-off lien is listed on the ownership, you'll need both the ownership and the lien release from the lien holder before we can purchase your car.

20. Can I sell a car on behalf of a company?

If you would like to sell a car on behalf of a company, please see a Business Office Associate  for the requirements needed.

If you have any further questions or would like to book a time where we can look at your vehicle please call (613) 389 8822.
