Prestige Auto - How Do I Sell My Car to Prestige Auto in Eau Claire, WI?

Because we actively serve drivers across the Chippewa Valley—including Lake Hallie, Altoona, Rice Lake, Chetek, Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie—our appraisal process is built around convenience. You can get a Kelley Blue Book® value estimate from home, stop by our dealership for a professional inspection, and then review an official offer that reflects your vehicle’s current condition. If you’re considering a trade toward a new Kia Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, Forte, or a Mitsubishi Outlander or Eclipse Cross, our finance specialists can help you compare options. If you simply want to sell your car and walk away with cash, we’re ready to help with that, too.
Here’s how selling your car to Prestige Auto typically works from start to finish.
- Check your estimate: Start with our online Value Your Trade tool to view a Kelley Blue Book® trade-in value estimate based on your vehicle details.
- Plan your visit: Set an appraisal appointment or stop in—our service center is open on Saturdays, and we even provide a free 5-minute appraisal with a scheduled service visit (ask our team for details).
- Get a professional inspection: Our trained technicians will look over your vehicle, confirm key information, and assess condition, mileage, and maintenance items.
- Review your official offer: Once the inspection is complete, we present an offer for your vehicle in writing so you can make an informed decision.
- Choose your next step: Take the cash and finalize the sale, or apply your vehicle’s value toward a new Kia, a new Mitsubishi, or a quality pre-owned car, truck, or SUV from our inventory.
Transparency sits at the center of our appraisals.
