Professional Next-Day Service

So I needed my car shipped from California to NJ ASAP. I was able to get a driver the next day! They were very professional. I love that I could reach them anytime to talk to them about my car shipment. I've went through 3 different companies before a friend recommended them to me. .... Recommend. Will definitely use them again in the future.

Flexible, Affordable, Fast

This was the first time we shipped a car, so it was a little scary but it turned out great. Customer service was always helpful, the price was the best we found and the carrier that picked up our car was reliable and flexible. It was faster than expected and they were happy to change the drop off location (in the same town) at the last minute. Would recommend and use again.

I recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle here in Gilbert, AZ and needed a reliable Auto Transportation company to pick up and deliver my vehicle to Sacramento, CA safely. Richard from Nexus was great and provided on-time delivery for me. The driver was professional and handled my vehicle with care just as I expected. I use transportation service at least twice a year and Nexus will be my choice of Auto Transportation from now on. Thank you Nexus!!

Flawless, Excellent Transaction

I received a quote within minutes and it was better priced than the other half a dozen ones I received. Actually, I was a bit skeptical because of that. However, I went along with my gut feeling and used them. They did an excellent job! I put them directly in contact with the party I bought the car from and they did the rest. They picked up the car on schedule. Then, a day later I received a call from the driver letting me know he was in town and on his way to drop off my vehicle. The whole transaction was flawless and done by text and email. Definitely recommended and I will certainly use them again.

Professionalism That's Worth More

I researched and got a few quotes to ship my Jeep on a truck instead of driving. Nexus was a bit more expensive than others, but sounded and looked more legit then the competition so I Got my car delivered by Nexus from LA to Dallas last week. It was a great service and their timing was as promised. I definitely recommend using them even if it costs you more, it was worth it for their professional service and my peace of mind to have my car arrive safely and promptly.

In the middle of a moving emergency, the dispatcher hustled for me and scheduled the pick-up of my 2020 Fusion the very next day. The agent offered me a very affordable rate which was hundreds of dollars cheaper than the first company I called.

Can't Beat This Service.

Needed 2 cars transported from New Jersey to California. The agent from Nexus Auto Transport provided a fast quote that was very competitive with clear expectations of timeline for payments, pickup and delivery. They subcontracted for actual transport which had some hiccups, but the agent was my advocate and made sure everything went smoothly with the shipping team. He is very responsive to text and calls. Ultimately our cars were delivered safely and EARLY! Can't beat that.

Impressed, Not Stressed

I was nervous about picking a car transport company because I was reading so many negative reviews about being charged a different price, not being able to get in touch with the carrier, the car never being picked up etc. I chose nexus because I was impressed with how easy it was to get in touch with them, and their non aggressive sales approach. The car was picked up on time, I was able to speak to the driver for updates and it arrived on time. I was not charged extra and it was very stress free. I was very impressed and would recommend nexus to others

Next Steps After Using the Car Value Calculator

image

Our car estimate calculator is both a barometer for private sales and an accurate car trade-in value calculator. It's also an invaluable tool for connecting with interested car buyers in your area and across the United States.

Once you've secured an accurate vehicle valuation, you may use our Portal feature to field offers from our dealership partners. Our Nexus platform is built to promote competition between buyers, driving values up and earning you more money. It's also a safe way to approach car selling, as opposed to when you sell your car online elsewhere. Advertising and selling a vehicle yourself can take weeks or months and offers no guarantee of a worthwhile return. In addition, you must wade through window shoppers and potential scammers to find real interested buyers.

Find the interested party, negotiate, and seal the deal. We'll manage the shipping once a proper inspection is complete and payment is authorized. Whether you're looking for car trade-in value or a straight monetary return, our Car Value Calculator is the first step towards getting more for your rig.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Car Price Calculator

Very accurate. Our Nexus car value estimator uses multiple data points, including Kelley Blue Book, Black Book, and our research, to provide a pinpoint car price estimate. The more information you're willing to share, the better we can personalize your valuation.

To get started with our Nexus car price calculator, please provide one or more of the following:

  • Your car's make and model
  • Your VIN
  • Your license plate number

From there, we'll ask you several questions about your car's history, current condition, and more. Remember, providing a VIN or license plate helps us give you a more accurate car value estimate, as does including more information about your vehicle as a whole.

When you ask Google, "How much is my car worth?" you will get multiple conflicting answers. Sometimes, your car may be "worth" $8,000, but a lack of demand drives its price down. Other times, you might make more because you found the right interested buyer at the right time.

The best way to get good value for your car is to have multiple interested vehicle buyers compete to purchase it. Our Nexus Portal links you with various dealers looking to buy your car. This gives you a unique advantage in negotiating and making more once the pen is put to paper.

No. Different car dealerships have different policies and practices. When you use our car trade-in value calculator, you receive an accurate estimate of your vehicle's worth. You can then use that estimate to bargain with several of our dealer partners, finding the best car dealership for you with the most sensible offer.

Our car value estimator offers no guarantees. It provides an estimate that you can use in negotiations via private sale or with one of our esteemed dealer partners. Knowing your car's worth is vital to getting a fair price. And when you work with the dealers in the Nexus Portal, you know that you're working with interested parties ready to play ball.

The better the condition, the more car trade-in value you'll likely receive. Cars with mechanical problems, chipped paint, or other deficiencies will be worth less than vehicles in pristine condition. Be sure to conduct routine maintenance and keep detailed records. Also, be sure to drive safely and not add to the car's incident history. The cleaner your car and its record are, the more trade-in value you'll likely get.

Also, some aftermarket accessories can boost or detract from value. Do your due diligence to see what makes more and what makes less.

A car's accident history is a key factor in assessing a vehicle's current worth. If the car has been in an accident and its condition is compromised, you will receive a much lower quote than if it's currently in good shape. Some dealer partners will offer less for cars with accident histories, regardless of current condition. Others will look at the findings of a current inspection and adjust their offers accordingly.

Yes. Dealership partners usually factor in remaining loans when assessing a car trade-in value. When you complete a deal, the dealer will pay off the loan and apply the remainder of the trade-in value to your new vehicle.
