Vehicle Representation Program Q&A
How do I know if you can sell my vehicle for me?
We don't sell just any vehicle. We only sell vehicles that meet or exceed our AlphaCars high standards. We will perform an initial visual inspection at no charge.
My vehicles passes visual inspection, then what?
Our service department will perform a general check up on your auto ($180.00 charge). A detailed evaluation report will be generated based on this checkup which will identify areas of concern, as well as a cost estimate to repair or perform needed service. The report will also separate those defects, if any, which impair the safety or substantially impair the use of the vehicle. These types of defects will need to be repaired or disclosed to the buyer. Additionally at this time our auto marketing specialist will perform a thorough market analysis to establish the vehicle’s value and recommend a marketable price for a timely sale.
Do I have to repair my vehicle before AlphaCars place it for sale?
We do it the same way as we would prepare our own vehicles. Any safety related items, functionality features, drivability items will need to be repaired. Our loyal customers will expect that from us.
Does AlphaCars provide a warranty for my vehicle?
No. AlphaCars does not provide any warranty for cars sold under private party representation program.
The Used Vehicle Warranty Law in Massachusetts requires private party seller (vehicle owner) to inform buyers about any and all known defects which impair the safety or substantially impair the use of the vehicle. The law applies to all private party sales regardless of sales price or mileage. If buyer discovers a defect that impairs the vehicle’s safety or substantially impairs the use, and can prove that the seller knew about the defect but failed to disclose it, buyer may cancel the sale within thirty days of purchase. The seller must refund the amount paid for the vehicle, less 15 cents per mile of use. This is all you need to know as a seller, but you can read more about Used Vehicle Warranty Law
