Sell Your Car Face to Face. Not to an App.
We’ll show you what your car is worth and the reports behind the number. Your car is worth the same to us whether you buy from us or not.
No purchase needed. Talk to a real person in Haverhill.
The problem
Selling it yourself means strangers in your driveway, Saturdays lost to no-shows, and payments you can’t trust.
The big online buyers mean a website, a tow truck, and a phone menu.
You just want to sell your car to someone you can look in the eye.
We buy cars from local drivers every day
AutoFair Ford of Haverhill buys cars from local drivers every day, even if you never buy from us.
Why we want your car. We need quality cars to sell. Buying at auction is slow, and it comes with fees, shipping, and problems that show up later. Buying from you is better for us. And many of the people who buy our cars live close enough to service with us, so a good car today can mean a long-term customer.
How we decide what it’s worth. We buy and sell cars for a profit, and we’re honest about that. Your value comes down to what your car will be worth to the next buyer: how fast that model sells, how appealing the miles are, and how much work it needs first. We show you the Carfax, Kelley Blue Book, NADA, and Manheim numbers behind our offer.
What about cars with problems? We may not put every car on our lot, but we’ll still make you an offer. That includes salvage or branded titles, frame damage, past airbag deployments, and mileage issues.
Why sell to us
- Skip the private-sale headaches. No strangers, no no-shows, no wondering if a payment is real. In Massachusetts, a private sale can also come back to you if the car has problems soon after.
- Get the same number, buying or not. Your car is worth the same to us either way.
- Know exactly how you get paid. We pay off your loan within about two days. Your check comes as soon as we have your title.
- Hear about Ford savings first. Thinking about a new Ford soon? We’ll tell you about any trade-in rebates before you sell, so you don’t miss out.
- Deal with real people. Questions after the sale? Call us or stop by. We’re right here on Broadway.
How it works
- Tell us about your car. Get a Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer on our website, share a few photos, or just stop by.
- Get your offer, with the reports. See what it’s worth and why, from a person, not a pop-up.
- Sign and get paid. We pay off your loan, if you have one. Your check is released once we have your title, by mail or ready for pickup.
Common concerns
“Will I get less because I’m not buying?” No. Your car is worth the same to us either way. A bigger trade number somewhere else usually means a smaller discount somewhere else.

“The big online buyers pay faster. Why choose you?” Some do, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What you get here is a real person who explains your number and is still here after the sale.
