If you want to avoid the headache, you can sell directly to our dealership. Here at Birmingham Mitsubishi, we make the entire process easy. Learn more about it below!
Start with a Free Appraisal
The first step is bringing your vehicle in for a free, no-obligation appraisal at our dealership in Birmingham. Our experienced team will evaluate your car based on its condition, mileage, age, trim level, and current market demand. We use up-to-date market data to ensure our offer reflects what your vehicle is genuinely worth — not a lowball number designed to take advantage of you. You can also get a head start by submitting your vehicle's details online through our website. Enter your VIN or license plate number along with some basic information about the car's condition, and we'll generate a preliminary estimate before you even set foot on our lot.
What to Bring With You
To keep the process moving smoothly, come prepared with a few key documents. You'll need the vehicle's title (showing you as the legal owner), a valid government-issued photo ID, your vehicle registration, and any loan payoff information if you still owe money on the car. If you have a second key, service records, or the Owner's Manual, bring those along too, as they can positively influence your offer.
The Inspection
When you arrive, one of our knowledgeable team members will conduct a thorough walk-around inspection of your vehicle. They'll check the exterior for dents and scratches that may have happened on your commutes and trips to the Railroad Park Foundation. Our team will also inspect the interior for wear and cleanliness, assess the tires, and take the car for a brief test drive. In some cases, we may run a quick diagnostic scan to check for any underlying mechanical issues. The entire inspection typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Receiving Your Offer
Once the inspection is complete, we'll present you with a written offer. This offer is typically valid for a set number of days, giving you time to consider it without pressure. There's absolutely no obligation to accept.
If You Accept
If you decide our offer works for you, our Finance Department will handle all the paperwork. We'll process the title transfer and take care of any DMV-related documentation on your behalf. If you have an outstanding loan on the vehicle, we'll work directly with your lender to pay it off. Any remaining equity above the loan payoff goes directly to you. Payment is issued quickly, and most sellers receive a check or direct deposit the same day the deal is finalized.
Trade-In Option
If you're also in the market for a new or used vehicle, applying your car's value as a trade-in can simplify the transaction further and may offer tax advantages. Just let our sales team know you'd like to explore that option. Selling your vehicle in central Alabama doesn't have to be complicated. We're here to make it easy. Visit our dealership today.

Customer Testimonials in Birmingham AL
“ Idris “ cowboy”of Mitsubishi Birmingham is a super sales person. He was very friendly very helpful with all of my questions and everything I needed to know about the vehicle I was wanting to get. Super Sales! ”
“ Let me start off by saying I had a great experience with Mitsubishi.The genuine care for their customers is everything, they don’t just treat you like another transaction. They are incredibly easy to talk to, keep you updated, and are willing to work with you on financing even if your credit isn't perfect. With a repossession & another open auto line they were still able to work with me after being let down by 8 other companies. I love my new vehicle I definitely feel like NICOLE , JEFF , & KO went above & beyond to make sure I leave with something . It’s hard to find places that are this honest, professional, and understanding. They are also open until 7 pm for people that gets off work late in the day. Highly recommend them to anyone looking. ”
“ 10/10 I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Most of everyone here is new but they had more than enough knowledge, if you’re inquiring about a vehicle. Jeff & his team is outstanding very knowledgeable & experienced. They built this place from the ground up after the previous people ranned the business down . Ask for Nicole or KO they are the best & work with very bad credit . ”
