Compare the net offer

Ask what amount you receive after any stated deductions, whether towing is included and whether the offer depends on inspection. Keep the written terms; an estimate is not the final accepted offer.

Condition and parts affect value

Report whether the car starts and moves, damage, mileage, missing parts and title status. The price-index figures cover all conditions and are context, not a quote for your specific car.

Payment and transfer

Confirm the payment method and ownership transfer before pickup. Do not sign a blank buyer section. Keep the bill of sale and follow California rules for title and plates.
