What Is the Fastest Way to Sell My Car in Baltimore or Washington DC?

The fastest way to sell your car is through DirectCarBuying.com, a service of Easterns Automotive Group. The entire process only takes a matter of hours, and you can get cash for your car in a single afternoon. The process is easy and straightforward:



Fill Out Our Form

The form will ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), which you can type in or scan with your smartphone. Then you just need to answer a few questions about your vehicle and take some pictures of your vehicle’s interior and exterior.


We’ll quickly analyze your vehicle, its mileage and its condition and get back to you within three hours with your cash offer. After you’ve received your offer it’s just a matter of you driving your car to our dealership for a quick inspection, after which we’ll transfer your vehicle’s title and give you a check to cash.



Why Is That Better Than the Alternative?

Other online car buyers often take longer to give you an offer and then schedule a time to come out and inspect your vehicle and buy it. We let our customers do the process at their own pace.


With DirectCarBuying.com, you decide when to bring your vehicle in for an inspection. You won’t have to wait until our next mobile car buyer can get to your home and inspect your vehicle. You also don’t have to wait for us to come and pick up your vehicle – you drop it off when you’re ready to sell.



What About Selling the Car Myself?

If you know someone who wants to buy your car that’s great. You don’t have to deal with any apps or drive to any dealerships. However, you will have to deal with all the legal title and ownership transfer hassles on your own.


When you sell your car through DirectCarBuying.com we’ll do all the heavy lifting. All you really need to do is fill out the form, drive your vehicle to us, sign the title transfer and then cash your check.


Alternatively, if you don’t have a friend, family member or acquaintance who wants to buy your car, you’ll need to list the vehicle on your own.

You’ll need to choose one of several vehicle marketplaces. Before you even decide on how you’re selling you will probably want to put in some maintenance and cleaning legwork on your vehicle.


Potential car buyers won’t want to buy your vehicle as is if it’s not clean or it isn’t up to date on its oil changes or maintenance. You should also get together your vehicle’s service and repair history, since many private buyers will want to see proof the car has been well cared for while you’ve owned it.


If your confident that your vehicle’s history will be an asset and will boost your sale price you might also want to invest in a Carfax or Autocheck report. Some private buyers will purchase these on their own to find out if your vehicle has ever been in an accident, flood or has suffered some other kind of damage.


You’ll also need to decide on a price. Keep in mind whoever buys your car will likely want to negotiate on the price. How quick your vehicle sells will have a lot to do with the asking price. A vehicle that’s priced too high compared to similar makes, models and years available for sale in your area might not get any offers. If you price it too low, you’ll be leaving money on the table.  


After your car is listed, you’ll need to meet people to show them your vehicle. They may want to test drive your vehicle or take it to a mechanic they trust to get it checked out.


If you do sell your vehicle yourself, you should be careful with this step. Only meet potential buyers in visible spaces at relatively busy times of day – preferably somewhere with video surveillance. Doing so will likely discourage people with nefarious intent from contacting you.


Once someone agrees to buy your vehicle, you’ll need to need to fill out a bill of sale, get it notarized and fill out an odometer disclosure statement.


After that, you’ll get your money. You’ll also want to be exceedingly careful at this stage of the transaction. Exchanging thousands of dollars in cash or accepting a check from a stranger is never without risks.
