Yes. You can cancel at any time before signing over the title and accepting payment. If a buyer tries to lower the price at pickup without valid reason, refuse the new offer and send them away. You are not obligated to sell, and the car remains yours until you complete the transaction.
Your rights at pickup:
- You can decline a reduced offer
- You can ask the driver to leave
- You don’t owe the buyer anything for their trip
- You keep your car and can sell to someone else
- You can accept the new price if it seems fair
Some buyers use pressure tactics. The truck is there, the driver acts impatient, and they hope you’ll accept a lower price rather than deal with the hassle. Don’t fall for it. A reputable buyer honors their quote.
If you described your car accurately and the buyer wants to pay less, that buyer isn’t trustworthy. Cancel and contact a different service. You’ll likely get a fair offer elsewhere without games.
Document everything. If a buyer consistently baits customers with high quotes then lowers prices at pickup, report them to the Better Business Bureau. Reviews help other sellers avoid the same experience.
