How to Sell Your Car in Savannah, GA
If you want to sell your car but aren’t sure where to begin, Chatham Parkway Lexus is prepared to facilitate the process. We’ll guide you through the experience, and we’ll help you find a replacement car to fuel your future trips to Forsyth Park. To sort out the details, visit our dealership in Savannah.
Get an Online Estimate
Most dealerships, ours included, offer an online appraisal tool. You'll enter your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, trim level, and condition, along with your VIN or license plate number. Within minutes, you'll get a preliminary offer based on current market data, auction trends, and what similar vehicles are selling for in our area. This number isn't final, but it gives you a realistic starting point before you ever set foot on the lot.
Bring the Car In for an Inspection
Once you have an estimate you're comfortable with, the next step is an in-person inspection. One of our appraisers will spend about 20 to 30 minutes looking over the vehicle — checking the exterior for dents or paint issues, inspecting the tires and brakes, testing the electronics, and taking it for a short test drive. We'll also run a vehicle history report to confirm mileage, accident history, and title status.
Get a Firm Offer
After the inspection, our Finance Department will present you with a firm, no-obligation offer. This is the actual amount we're prepared to pay, and it's good for a set number of days, so you have time to think it over or shop around if you'd like. There's no pressure to accept on the spot, and no requirement that you buy a car from us in exchange.
Bring the Right Paperwork
If you decide to move forward, you'll need a few documents to close the deal. You'll need the vehicle's title, or your lender's payoff information if you still owe money on it, along with a valid photo ID and your current vehicle registration. It's also a good idea to bring all sets of keys and remotes, if you have them, since a missing spare can sometimes affect the final offer. If you're still financing the car, don't worry — we handle payoffs with lenders regularly. We'll contact your bank or credit union directly, pay off the remaining balance, and cut you a check for any difference between the payoff amount and our offer.
Get Paid
Once the paperwork is signed and any loan payoff is handled, you'll walk away with a check or direct deposit for the agreed amount. Most sales close the same day the paperwork is finalized. There's no waiting for a private buyer to show up, no haggling with strangers, and no liability once the vehicle is out of your name.
Why Sell to a Dealership Instead of Privately?
Selling privately can sometimes net a slightly higher price, but it also comes with hassles including meeting strangers at Daffin Park, fielding lowball offers, handling paperwork yourself, and taking on liability until the title transfers. Selling to us means a guaranteed offer, same-day payment, and none of the legwork. If you're ready to find out what your vehicle is worth, stop by or start with our online appraisal tool today.

Five stars to Chatham Parkway Lexus!
“ Five stars to Chatham Parkway Lexus! Everyone we spoke with were wonderful and very knowledgeable. CASSIDY is your girl. She knows so much about their vehicles and will give you all the information you need and want to know. Al, the finance manager, was also amazing and very funny. They took their time to make sure everything's straightened out before we took our vehicle home. Thanks to Cassidy and CP Lexus!! ”
Awesome Experience
“ I had an awesome experience here buying my certified Lexus! Every member of the team from sales to finance to the technology expert who showed me all the features on my car were so kind and helpful! I am a brand new mom and wanted to kick myself for waiting until after my son was born to try to take on this task but everyone at CPL made this a breeze for this stressed out mama! I feel very comfortable with this purchase for our growing family and am so happy with our new ride :) ”

Sam Grant
“ After 40 years in the industry as both a new car dealership partner and a VP and President in the car rental industry, all I can say is dealing with this dealership, and Sam Grant it was a 10. Sam took the time to both follow up and even had the LC500C put on a flatbed and taken to my house. Is this typical Lexus service, I can't say, but I'm not the easiest to deal with because of my background, but both Sam and their GM could not have been more perfect. I wish all dealships could be like this one. Oh, I love the car. ”
This dealership is exceptional.
“ This dealership is exceptional. Our sales lady Angela was at no point anything but professional and helpful. She showed us multiple cars, called us back when something came in she thought we would like, and answered all of our hundreds of questions without hesitation. Ultimately we did not purchase from here, but gladly would and was the best car shopping experience we have had. ”
Everyone at Chatham Park Lexus made us feel important, like we were superstars!
“ I just bought a beautiful 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe at a fair price and a full tank of gas. Brenda was the sales person, I highly recommend her, she was knowledgeable. She did not make feel pressured to buy as I shopped, but made suggestions about other vehicles on the lot, as I test drove. Everyone at Chatham Park Lexus made us feel important, like we were superstars! We visited several lots that day and hands down the respect and treatment we received was stellar. We will never shop any where else. ”
Jocelyn Hardee I recommend this dealership and it’s staff to anyone in the market. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Th
“ I would give CPL 100 stars if it was an option. This is my 2nd purchase. My 1st purchase, Angela helped me decide on a 2019 NX300.. I absolutely LOVED this vehicle.. but unfortunately just 2 months after I purchased it, I was in a horrible accident where I was T boned at approximately 80mph.. My NX saved my life. I walked away very bruised and sore, but alive. The safety ratings on this car are AMAZING! Today I got back in contact with Angela - we sat and discussed a new vehicle.. I thought I wanted another NX but decided on more room and went w/ 2020 RX350. Angela is not only honest, knowledgeable, and patient but she LISTENS!!!! She knew (yet again) just want I wanted / needed. She knows these vehicles inside and out. CPL is so lucky to have her.. she truly is the best! I also met the General Manager today. He is so sweet.. he came to wish me well on healing after the accident. He reassured me I was making the best purchase as he took the time to weigh out pros and cons of the 2019 and 2020 models.. the warranties etc. I left tonight not only excited for my purchase but feeling just like family. The dealership is absolutely beautiful, clean, friendly and cozy. The service department is wonderful.. I had just had my 5,000 mile maintenance done on my NX.. they were not pushy, completed all tasks timely. My car was then detailed and ready when they called me to pick it up. Quick and painless! I recommend this dealership and it’s staff to anyone in the market. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Thank you CPL - I am a customer for life! **pics of the accident/ I walked away from - this was my NX after taking a Dodge Charger @ 80mph to the side. ** ”
This is my first service with the dealership and Larry was excellent.
“ This is my first service with the dealership and Larry was excellent. I was expecting much higher prices for a dealer and I believe they are very reasonable. They do have my business and will try them out when it is time to buy another Lexus. ”
