Open Today Sales: 9 AM-9 PM
We buy vehicles of any make and any condition, whether or not you buy anything from us. Bring it in, we appraise it while you wait, and you leave with a written offer. No obligation, no trade required.
This is the part worth saying first, because most people assume otherwise. We will buy your vehicle outright. You do not need to be trading it against something on our lot, you do not need to be financing with us, and you do not need to leave in a different car than the one you arrived in.
Plenty of people sell us a vehicle and walk out with a check. A second car nobody drives, a truck after a job changed, an estate vehicle, something sitting on a driveway with a dead battery. All ordinary here.
Not just Buick and GMC. Ford, Toyota, Honda, Ram, Jeep, Subaru, Kia, whatever it is. We take in every brand and most of it never touches a GM badge.
High mileage, mechanical faults, body damage, does not start. A vehicle that is not worth much is still worth something, and we would rather quote you a real number than turn you away.
Very common and not a problem. We deal directly with your lender on the payoff. If you owe more than it is worth, we will tell you the shortfall plainly rather than burying it.
Online estimates are built from a form. Ours is built from the vehicle: someone drives it, puts it on a lift and looks underneath. That cuts both ways, and it usually cuts in your favor on a well kept car.
The online tool gives you a starting range from year, mileage and condition. It is a useful anchor, not a promise, because no form can tell what the underside of a Northwest Indiana vehicle looks like after ten winters of road salt.
Value your vehicle →We road test it, put it on a lift, check the history and look at what the same vehicle is actually bringing at auction and retail right now. That is where the number comes from.
Call to arrange it →You get the figure in writing, and we will walk you through how we arrived at it. Take it, think about it, or take it somewhere else for comparison. There is no pressure attached.
If there is a loan we handle the payoff with your lender directly. If the title is clear and in your hand, this is usually finished the same day.
Turning up with these is the difference between finishing today and coming back.
A valid state issued license or ID for everyone named on the title. If two names are on it, both people generally need to sign.
If you hold it, bring it. Indiana titles need signing in front of us rather than in advance, so do not fill anything in beforehand.
If a lender still holds the title, bring the lender name, account number and a recent statement. We handle the payoff from there.
Current registration for the vehicle. If it has lapsed, bring it anyway and tell us.
Both keys if you have both. A missing second key genuinely affects the number, because replacing one is not cheap.
Not required, but they help. A folder of receipts on a high mileage vehicle can move the figure more than people expect.
Manual, cargo cover, third row seats, roof rails, the factory wheels if it is running on winter tires. Small things, but they add up.
Tell us before we find it. It does not usually cost you as much as people fear, and it saves the offer being revised later.
Currie Motors Buick GMC 1551 W. US Highway 30, Valparaiso, IN 46385 Sales, Service and Parts: (219) 246-4505 Hours: Mon–Fri 9 AM–9 PM, Sat 9 AM–7 PM, Sun closed Hablamos español.
Three routes, and they suit different situations. Worth understanding the trade-offs rather than assuming one is always best.
One appointment, a written offer, paperwork handled, payoff dealt with directly if there is a loan. You will not get the absolute top of the market, because we have to be able to recondition and resell it.
A quote from a form, often adjusted once someone actually inspects the vehicle. Fine on a clean recent car. Less predictable on an older one, where the revision tends to arrive after you have committed.
Usually the most money, and genuinely the right answer if you have time. It also means strangers at your home, test drives with people you do not know, payment fraud risk, and handling the title transfer yourself.
If you want the most money and have a few weeks, sell it privately. If you want it dealt with this week by somebody who will put it on a lift and give you a real number, that is what we do.
Thirty minutes, a written offer, and no obligation to do anything with it.
