How dealer car offers work

A dealer purchase offer reflects expected resale demand, reconditioning cost, transportation, risk, and the buyer's current inventory—not only a generic book value.

The dealer reviews your information

VIN, trim, mileage, title status, condition, history, photos, and location help the buyer estimate the vehicle's market fit and likely costs.

The offer reflects that buyer's inventory

One dealer may need your model while another already has several. That is why two legitimate offers can differ even when both buyers use similar market data.

Verification comes before payment

The dealer normally confirms identity, documents, mileage, equipment, history, and physical condition. Material differences can change or cancel an offer.

Competing bids create comparison

MyLastBid keeps dealer bids private from other dealers while showing them to the seller. You can compare the amount and terms and decide how to respond.

Frequently asked questions

Some are. MyLastBid lets sellers open a private negotiation when that option is available.

Why did two dealers offer different amounts?
