Yes, we can appraise vehicles that aren't running. A non-functioning car still has value, even if it's lower than a running vehicle.

**What Affects the Value**
We'll consider the make, model, year, mileage, what's wrong with it, and parts/salvage value. Our appraisal will reflect the real condition.

**You Still Benefit**
Even if a vehicle needs major repair, we may be able to offer you trade-in credit that reduces what you need to finance on your next GMC.

**Bring It In**
Don't let mechanical issues stop you from trading in. Call (804) 445-2810 to let us know the situation, and we'll give you honest guidance on what we can do. We're happy to appraise it as-is and discuss your options.
