You must bring your vehicle to a Go Auto location to have it properly appraised by one of our trained specialists. We have partnered with Canadian Black Book to provide you with a possible range of values for all vehicles, but there are many other factors that influence a vehicles value.

All vehicles brought into the Go Auto group go through a rigorous inspection process followed by a full reconditioning. Our reconditioning process takes about 8 hours per vehicle. To learn more about the process, visit our Warranty Section.

Our Appraisers will gladly explain to you the factors that have influenced the value for your specific vehicle. Click on the Appraisal Process button to view a list of some of the factors. To get started, please contact us today!

The appraised value of your vehicle differs from retail prices for several reasons. When we purchase your vehicle, it must undergo a full mechanical and visual inspection by Factory Certified Technicians and be re-conditioned by our to meet our standards. Due to the costs associated with this process, we must purchase your vehicle at a lesser amount than what we will sell it for.

You can take your vehicle to any Go Auto dealership where our qualified technicians will inspect your vehicle and provide you with a written offer. This process usually takes less than an hour.

No, an appointment is not necessary. However, to ensure a technician is available to appraise your vehicle when you arrive, you can make an appointment using our online Request Appraisal service.

Most traditional dealerships will not purchase your vehicle outright and base the appraised value on you trading in your vehicle for another one. Go Auto will purchase your vehicle whether or not you buy a vehicle from us and your offer stays the same either way.

No. The offer we provide you with is the best value we can provide for your pre-owned vehicle.

Yes. The overall physical and mechanical condition of your vehicle will have an impact on its appraised value. Regular maintenance and repairs will impact the overall condition of your vehicle.

If you owe more than the appraised value of your vehicle, you have what is called "negative equity" in your vehicle. If you were to purchase another vehicle from Go Auto, the negative equity can often be included in your financing on the new vehicle. Otherwise, you can pay this amount directly to Go Auto. e.g. The appraised value of your vehicle is $18,500. You still owe $19,750 on your vehicle. The difference is $1,250. $1,250 is the amount of negative equity that must either be paid directly to Go Auto or built into the financing on a vehicle you purchase from us.

You need to contact the company your vehicle is leased through.  In most cases, you can sell your leased vehicle in the same was as a financed vehicle, however, some leasing companies will not allow you to sell the vehicle prior to the expiration of the lease. The process for selling us your leased vehicle is the same where we appraise the value of your vehicle, contact the leasing company to get the buyout on your vehicle, and advise of any differences in the values.

The lien needs to be released before Go Auto will purchase your vehicle.  You can contact the lien holder yourself and provide them what they need to give you a Lien Release or we can contact them on your behalf.  Go Auto does require a Lien Release from the lien holder.

No. All sales to Go Auto are final.
