How Selling Your Car To GiveMeTheVin Works
Selling your car doesn’t need to be stressful, we make it simple!
1. Get the Offer
First, we need to know a little bit more about your vehicle. To get started, enter your 17-character VIN in the form above as well as the odometer reading in miles and your zip code, then click Submit.
On the page that follows, be sure to answer all questions and provide detailed information about the vehicle’s condition. Then, upload clear, well-lit photos of your vehicle and enter your contact information.
Our team will send you a range offer ASAP. If you accept, one of our friendly and helpful staff will review your information once more and contact you with an exact offer.
2. We Pick-up or You Deliver
We know our customers our busy. That’s why we offer the option of free curbside pickup. Once you agree with our offer, our evaluator can head to you and your vehicle’s location.
From there, our evaluator will make sure that your description of your vehicle and its condition as assessed match. This takes a very short time. Once done, we’ll hand you your check in return for the deed.
Another option is delivery. If you’d prefer to drop it off at our Columbus, OH, location, that’s fine too. Just give us a call beforehand so we can provide you with directions. You may reach us at 800-249-1095.
3. We Accept Any Vehicle
Our competitors typically pay with bank drafts. Unlike checks, these take up to a week to clear. Meanwhile, GivemetheVIN pays with checks.
This is convenient for those who need their money ASAP. It’s also a much safer way to get paid than selling your car for cash.
Selling your car for cash entails traveling from the location of the buyer to your home with a huge wad of cash in your pocket. There isn’t any protection or insurance on it if it gets lost or stolen, unlike checks that can be “stopped” by the bank if it falls into the wrong hands.
Our checks can be cashed in or deposited at any Bank of America location near you right away.

What Our Customers Say
Tips On Selling Your Car in Columbus
Use free online valuation tools to help you determine the fair market value of your vehicle.
Research the local car market to see how much vehicles like yours are selling for. This will help you price your car correctly.
Take time to clean your vehicle, inside and out, to make sure it looks its best to potential buyers.
Add several clear, well-lit photos of your vehicle at all angles to your listing.
When describing your vehicle, be honest and describe any damage or potential repairs. You should also mention any aftermarket upgrades, as these may boost the price upwards.
If you have many interested buyers, try to choose one that will pay with a check drawn on a trusted bank. Cash payments are risky, while bank drafts take too long to process.
If you’re planning to sell to a car buyer, look up the company on the Better Business Bureau website and read their Google reviews to ensure they’re legitimate.
Reach out to several car-buying companies so you can compare offers.
Be prepared for buyers who want to negotiate. Before entering a discussion about price, make sure you’ve already decided on the lowest price you can be happy with, and don’t be pressured into going lower.
Prepare essential documents, such as the title and insurance documents to avoid delays once you’ve found a buyer.

Seasons-wise, you can’t go wrong with spring and summer. People generally look for vehicles to buy in the warmer months so they have something to use for road trips and vacations. Another option is to sell your car just before a new model comes out. This is because the price of older models typically dips when a newer version arrives on the scene.
