To sell or trade in your car in North Carolina, you’ll need the vehicle title, registration, and a valid photo ID. If the car has a lien, you’ll also need payoff information from your lender. Having maintenance records can also increase your trade-in value. At Peters Auto Mall, we make the process simple by handling the paperwork for you. Bring your car to either of our High Point locations, and our team will appraise your vehicle, process the documents, and apply the trade-in value toward your next purchase the same day.

? Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I trade in a car without the title?
No. You must have the title, or Peters Auto Mall can help if it’s held by a lender.
Q: What if my registration is expired?
You’ll still need to provide it, even if expired, to verify ownership.
Q: Do I need both owners present to sell or trade?
Yes, if two people are listed on the title, both must sign the paperwork.
