Ready to sell your car?
Skip the endless showings, the lowball offers, and the strangers pulling up to your house. Tell us about your car and we'll get back to you with a fair offer - usually within one business day.
- Any make, model, or year - even high-mileage
- Still making payments? No problem - we handle the payoff
- Same-day payment once we agree on price
- You don't have to buy a car from us to sell us yours
- Family-owned in Midvale since 1985
How it works
- 1. Tell us about your car. Fill out the form above with your VIN and condition, or give us a call at (801) 561-2727. The VIN lets us pull the full history and specs so we can give you an accurate number.
- 2. We review and reach out. Our buyer looks at recent wholesale and retail comps for your exact vehicle and gets back to you - usually the same day, never more than one business day.
- 3. Bring it by for a quick look. A short in-person appraisal confirms the offer. Most visits take under 20 minutes. No pressure, no bait-and-switch - the number we quote is the number we pay, assuming the car matches what you described.
- 4. Get paid. We cut you a check on the spot. If there's a loan on the vehicle, we pay the lender directly and you get the difference.
What to bring
- The vehicle title (or your lender's info if you're still making payments)
- All keys and key fobs
- Your driver's license
- Any service records or extra accessories you have on hand
Common questions
Do I have to buy a car from you?
Nope. Plenty of the cars we buy come from people who just want a fair, hassle-free sale. If you do want to roll the value into a trade, we'll happily work that out too.
What if I still owe money on the car?
That's fine. We'll contact your lender, pay off the loan directly, and pay you the difference. If you're upside-down, we'll walk you through your options honestly.
Will you buy a car that needs work?
Usually yes. We buy cars across a wide range of conditions - high-mileage, cosmetic damage, mechanical issues. The offer reflects the condition, but we'd rather give you a real number than turn you away.
Why sell to Peterson Auto instead of a national buyer?
We're a family-owned dealership that's been in Midvale since 1985. You talk to a real person, you get a straight number, and if we agree on a price, you get paid the day you bring it in. No app, no third-party inspector showing up late, no offer that gets "adjusted" on arrival.
