Selling your car

Direct purchase: sell your car and get paid within 48 hours

With a direct purchase, Qualis Cars buys your car and pays you in full within 48 hours, without waiting for it to sell. Get an online quote in two minutes and bring the car to our Almagro or Ramos Mejía location for a free, no-obligation inspection of about 30 minutes. If you accept the value, we pay you a deposit (seña); with the car’s reports we work out the final value and you get paid when you sign the transfer form (formulario 08), in US dollars or in pesos at the day’s rate.

Step by step

  1. Get an online quote

    Make, model, year, trim and mileage at Sell your car. You see the value as a direct purchase, on consignment and as a trade-in. It is a market estimate: the final number is set when we see the car.

  2. Bring it to our location

    In Almagro or Ramos Mejía (we do not inspect at your home). We agree the day on WhatsApp. The inspection is free, with no obligation, and takes about 30 minutes. Bring the title, the green registration card, your ID and the latest service record.

  3. We confirm the value and pay you a deposit

    Once we have seen the car we confirm the value. If you accept it, we pay you a deposit (seña) to secure the deal.

  4. We order the reports and work out the final value

    Once the deposit is paid we order the ownership report, the traffic-fines report (SUATS) and the vehicle-tax clearance, and check the title and registration card. With those in hand we work out the final value: any unpaid fines or vehicle tax are deducted or held back until they are paid.

  5. Sign the 08 and get paid

    You sign the transfer form (formulario 08) at our location, before our notary, and get paid on the spot, in US dollars or in pesos at the day’s rate. From the deposit, it can all be done within 48 hours.

Direct purchase or consignment

A direct purchase pays in full, right away; that is why the value comes in below what listings ask. If you can wait, consignment usually leaves you more: we sell it for you at market value and you get paid when it sells, minus our commission. The online quote shows both values side by side.

How consignment works

Which cars we buy

Cars and pickups in any condition, including ones with an outstanding lien (prenda): we quote them anyway and the value depends on the inspection. We do not buy motorcycles, boats or heavy trucks.

Frequently asked questions

When do I get paid?

In full, the moment you sign the transfer form (formulario 08) at our location, before our notary. From the deposit, it can be done within 48 hours.

Who pays the deposit?

We do. When you accept the value after the inspection, Qualis pays you a deposit to secure the purchase.

In which currency do you pay?

In US dollars or in pesos, at the rate of the day.

How much does the inspection cost?

Nothing. It is free and with no obligation: if you do not like the offer, you do not sell.

Do you inspect the car at my home?

No. The inspection is done at our Almagro location (Francisco Acuña de Figueroa 536, Buenos Aires City) or at Ramos Mejía (Doctor Gabriel Ardoino 1004).

Do you buy cars with unpaid fines or vehicle tax?

Yes. The debt is deducted from the price or held back until you bring proof of payment.

Do you buy cars with an outstanding lien (prenda)?

Yes. First we work out the outstanding balance of the lien with early repayment, and that amount is deducted from the car’s value.

Can I trade my car in for another one?

Yes. We take it as part payment for any car in our stock, of higher or lower value, and you cover the difference with cash or financing.
