Before you request an offer
What to prepare before selling your car
You do not need a retail-ready car. Prepare accurate vehicle, condition, ownership, contact, and location information so a buyer can review the right situation without avoidable follow-up.
01
Information about the vehicle
Have the year, make, model, mileage when known, trim if available, running condition, visible damage, mechanical symptoms, keys, and current photos.
02
Information about ownership
Know whose name is associated with the vehicle, whether the title is available, whether a lien or payoff remains, and which registration or ownership records you have.
03
Information about the handoff
Provide the actual city and vehicle location, identify gates, garages, facilities, property contacts, and state whether the vehicle rolls, steers, shifts into neutral, and can be reached.
- Do not include sensitive information in public messages.
- Remove personal items only after deciding to proceed.
- Wait for confirmed payment, paperwork, and pickup steps before release.
Common questions
Clear answers for this situation.
Do I need to detail the car first?
No. Clear current photos and an honest condition description are more useful than cosmetic preparation solely for review.
Are photos required?
Photos are optional in the Ablii offer flow, but current images can help explain condition and damage.
