What Paperwork Do I Need to Sell My Car
to Giles Buys Cars?
When you choose to sell your car to the team at Giles Buys Cars, expect to experience a hassle-free, quick process. We won’t have you sign a stack of documents or expect you to gather all the paperwork needed. Our team can handle anything — both smoothly and legally — and we’ll have the ownership of your model transferred in no time.
Wondering what you could do to speed the process along even further? The only document required for the sale to go through is the title, but here are a few more items to consider bringing with you to one of our many locations in Louisiana.
Title
It’s the one document that we will need from you — your vehicle’s title. If the title is in your possession, either in a safe box at the bank or hidden away in your home office, that’s perfect. Just remember to bring it with you after you received our cash offer for your model.
But I’m still making payments.
Totally understandable — if you haven’t paid off your vehicle’s loan, your vehicle’s title will be in the hands of your bank or lender. All you’ll need to do is contact your lienholder to talk through the loan payoff amount.
But I’m still in my lease agreement.
No worries, we’ve got you covered even if you’re still in your lease agreement. You can call your lender from the phone number listed on your lease statement and request the payoff amount. After paying off your vehicle’s lease and transferring the title from the lease holder to yourself, you’re then set up to sell your vehicle legally.
CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™
Remember, the rest of these documents are optional. If you already ran the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ on your car, truck or SUV, you can bring along the entire report with you if you like. But since you will provide us with your model’s VIN, or vehicle identification number, we have access to this information ourselves. The report discloses all service records, title changes/number of owners, discrepancies in mileage and so on.
Warranty Documentation
Is your vehicle still covered under warranty? That definitely helps its value. If your model is covered under a transferable warranty, you can bring the warranty documentation along with you. Contact information for the warranty provider — if it’s not the manufacturer — would be helpful to have, but again, not necessary.
