If you're selling your vehicle, here are some good things to know
Frequently asked questions about selling your vehicle
Do you factor in other offers I’ve received?
Yes! At Sell to Bob Ruth, our priority is to give you the best possible offer for your car. If you already have a written quote from a different buyer, let us know right away. We’ll review it and do our best to match or exceed that offer.
Once I receive an offer to sell my car, how long is the offer valid?
Your “cash now” offer stays in effect for seven days or until you drive an additional 250 miles—whichever comes first—starting from the moment you submit your information.
What types of cars, trucks, or SUVs do you typically buy?
We’re open to purchasing a broad range of vehicles, provided they can be driven, have a clean title, and are in overall marketable condition. Whether it’s a sedan, SUV, or truck, we’d be glad to help. To find out if your car qualifies, just get in touch and share its details—we’ll be happy to assist.
Is this a real offer or just an estimate?
It’s an actual cash offer based on the details you provide about your vehicle!
What if I feel like the offer to buy my car was low?
If you believe our online form didn’t capture certain details, please mention them in the comments when submitting your information or bring them up while speaking with an agent. Note that any photos you upload are not currently factored into the automated offer.
What’s next after receiving my cash now offer?
One of our friendly associates will reach out to set up an intake appointment. If you’d like immediate help, you can call us directly at (717) 432-9614.
How can I be sure I’m getting a fair offer?
We leverage trusted valuation methods, including Kelley Blue Book—a widely respected authority on vehicle pricing—and real-time market data to establish your car’s current worth. Kelley Blue Book evaluates factors like make, model, mileage, and condition to suggest fair market values, while our up-to-the-minute market analysis ensures our offer remains competitive and aligned with current pricing trends.
Questions about condition
Do you buy salvage, rebuilt, or branded title vehicles?
In most cases, we can’t purchase vehicles with salvage, rebuilt, or branded titles. However, there may be exceptions. Please call us at (717) 432-9614 to discuss your particular situation with one of our agents.
Will an accident or bad Carfax report affect my offer?
Yes. Accidents or any Carfax record can influence your final offer because prospective buyers consider a car’s history when making decisions. If multiple panels were damaged or repairs exceeded $5,000, select “major accident” on the form. For smaller incidents (like fender benders), “minor accident” usually applies. Any deductions will depend on factors like the vehicle type, value, and market conditions—high-end cars are often more significantly affected by Carfax blemishes.
Can Sell to Bob Ruth buy my car if there’s a recall?
Absolutely! We often consider purchasing cars even if they have an open recall. However, our primary concern is safety. If the recall poses a critical risk—such as an unrepaired airbag defect for which no fix is currently available—we may not be able to move forward.
What if I’ve lost my car title? Can I still sell it to Sell to Bob Ruth?
In many situations, yes. We can often guide you through the necessary steps to sell a vehicle without the original title. That said, certain conditions do apply. Please call (717) 432-9614 to confirm your options and discuss the specifics of your situation.
Questions about offers and documentation
How will I get paid for the vehicle I sell?
Simply bring your car to us. After a quick inspection to verify its condition and details, we’ll typically write you a check on the spot.
Will I need to bring documentation to complete the sale of my vehicle to Bob Ruth?
Yes, please bring the following documents to complete the sale of your vehicle to Bob Ruth:
Original Vehicle Title
Make sure you have the original title—no photocopies. If there are other owners listed (non-TOD), they must all be present.
Government-Issued Photo ID
A current form of identification, such as a driver’s license, is required.
Vehicle Registration
If your car is registered in a state other than Missouri, please provide the relevant registration paperwork.
All Sets of Keys
If you have more than one set of keys or key fobs, bring them all.
Notarized Lien Release
If your loan has been paid off but a lien is still noted on the title, a notarized lien release will be necessary.
