How do I get started?

1. Give us a call at 703-273-5003 to schedule an appointment to have your vehicle appraised

Things to know before you come:

1. If the appraised value of the car is lower than the amount owed on the lien, you will be responsible for paying the difference at the time of the transaction.

2. We only accept vehicles that are in working order. If you can't drive it to the dealership to have it appraised, we likely will not be interested in purchasing.

3. If the title holders cannot be present or are deceased, please call us to discuss your situation.

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

There are times when the amount offered for the vehicle is less than the amount owed on the lien. This is called "negative-equity." If you choose to purchase a car from Fairfax Motors, it may be possible to roll the difference into the loan for the new vehicle. Our Finance Director can answer any questions about this process.

If you are simply selling your vehicle for Fairfax Motors, the difference between the pay-off and our offer will be paid to us directly. We accept cashier's or certified checks and certified funds. We also accept cash and debit cards.

• What if I have a lien on my car?

We will contact your lien holder to get a 15-day payoff amount. In order to get this information, we need the lien holder's name, name on the account, social security number, current address, phone number and account number. If you had a lien on the vehicle in the past, we will also need the lien release from the lien holder before the transaction can be completed.

• How long until I get my check?

If the title is free and clear, a check will given that day provided our business office is open.

If the title has a lien, if the payoff if more than what we are offering the difference is due at the time of transaction. If there is money owed to you, it could take up to 21 days to have the balance available based on the timeliness of the back and receipt of title to the business office. No checks will be given to any transaction when the title has a lien.
