For Winston-Salem vehicle owners comparing a private-party listing with a direct dealership sale, Peters can evaluate the actual vehicle, review its condition and consider an existing loan payoff. No replacement vehicle purchase is required.
Whether you want to sell your vehicle outright or use it toward another vehicle later, Peters Auto Mall can help make the process simpler.
Don't Have the Title in Hand? That May Be Okay.
If you still owe money on your vehicle, the lender may be holding the title or controlling the electronic title. That can make a private sale difficult because a buyer typically wants clear ownership before handing over payment.
Peters Auto Mall can verify the current payoff, handle the payoff as part of purchasing the vehicle and work through the lender's lien-release process.
You do not necessarily have to pay the vehicle off yourself and wait for the title to arrive before talking to us about selling it.
Ask About Your Loan PayoffHow Is Your Vehicle Evaluated?
There is more to vehicle value than simply looking up the year and model. Peters Auto Mall reviews the actual vehicle and current market conditions when considering a purchase.
Still Making Payments? That's Not a Deal Breaker.
Your vehicle does not necessarily have to be paid off before Peters Auto Mall can purchase it.
We can verify the current lender payoff and include that payoff as part of the purchase process. If the lender holds the title, the title can be handled through the normal lien-release process after payoff.
Ask About Selling a Financed VehicleHow Do You Start?
The easiest first step is to provide information about the vehicle you want to sell.
What If You Owe More Than the Vehicle Is Worth?
Peters Auto Mall can still evaluate the vehicle and verify the current payoff.
If the payoff amount is greater than the amount Peters Auto Mall agrees to pay for the vehicle, the difference between the payoff and vehicle purchase amount must be resolved as part of the transaction.
The first step is finding out the actual vehicle value and current payoff instead of guessing.
Start With Your Vehicle Call About Your PayoffWhat Should You Bring?
Having the available vehicle, ownership and lender information can make the evaluation and purchase process easier.
Skip the Private-Sale Headaches
No listings. No strangers at your house. No private test drives. No waiting on a buyer who disappears.
If your lender has the title, you do not necessarily have to wait for it to be released before starting the sale with Peters Auto Mall.

Can I sell my car if I still owe money on it?
Yes. Peters Auto Mall can verify the current payoff with your lender and handle the payoff as part of purchasing the vehicle.
Do I need the title in my hand before I sell the vehicle?
Not necessarily. If the lender is holding the title because the vehicle still has a loan, Peters Auto Mall can work through the payoff and receive the title afterward through the normal lien-release process.
Why is a lender-held title difficult in a private sale?
Private buyers typically want proof of clear ownership before handing over payment. They may not be willing to pay off someone else's loan and then wait for the lender to release the title.
Do I have to trade my vehicle for another car?
No. Peters Auto Mall can buy your vehicle directly without requiring you to purchase another vehicle.
What happens if I owe more than my vehicle is worth?
If the payoff is higher than the agreed vehicle purchase amount, the difference must be resolved as part of the transaction.
Do I have to know exactly what my car is worth before I come in?
No. Start with the online vehicle-value tool. An actual evaluation may be needed before a final purchase amount can be determined.
What affects what my vehicle is worth?
Condition, mileage, vehicle history, equipment, trim, current market demand and resale value can all affect the evaluation.
