There are several methods to locate and purchase a used vehicle or
sell your old one. Being a registered Missouri dealer provides us
the opportunity to go to the same auctions as the “big guys”. We
have seen buyers at the auctions for several of the local dealers
you see on television. We can locate and purchase a vehicle for you
at tremendous savings.

For customers selling cars locally we allow the display of fliers in
our waiting area. We have also helped those moving, out of state or
the country, to sell their vehicle, alleviating some of the stress
associated with the whole process of moving.

When vehicles are not repairable, and require disposal, we use one
of several salvage/junk yards in the metro area. These situations
can be tough because the price paid by a salvage yard can vary greatly
and is normally not what we, as owners, would like to get. Typically
you will see offers from $25.00-$250.00 depending on the year, make
model and condition. Remember, they do not take into consideration
all of the repairs or new parts you have made, if the engine or
transmission has failed you will not get much for it.

Some people prefer to donate a vehicle to their favorite charity.
Keep in mind the tax laws have changed recently, we recommend a
thorough understanding of the tax implications prior to donating.
It may be helpful to know that if you donate most organizations
contract with an outside company to do the work. This company, in
most cases, will tow the vehicle to an auction, sell it and take
their fees out before any proceeds are distributed to the organization.
This could drastically reduce the amount the charity you are trying
to help ends up with. Another method, if a vehicle is still road
worthy, is to sell the vehicle to a private party and then donate
the cash. The person buying the vehicle obtains reasonable
transportation, the charity ends up with more money and you feel
twice as good doing so.
