Sam was the most helpful, amicable person ever! Go in and ask for either Noah or Sam. They will assist you through every step of your car-endeavor!

Highly recommend Mark and the entire selling experience with City Motor Group. They beat Carvana and CarMax on price AND customer service. Barely any waiting around when I had the car appraised by them and then again when I sold to them. A+

Worked with Mark, he was amazing, professional, and straightforward. This was my first time selling a car and he made the process seamless and gave me a good offer. If you want a no hassle and comfortable selling experience definitely go with CMG/BCB!

Sold 2 cars there. Very nice and professional, also they give pretty much the best price I could find in town.

The process could not have gone more smoothly. Mark and Jessica were helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I got a fair price for my car immediately; there was no need to wrangle over pennies. I am in the process of moving and Boston Car Buyers made a stressful time a little easier.

I had an excellent experience with Boston car buyers. I needed to sell my car quickly and they handled everything. I found them through Kelley blue book. They didn't offer as much as I would've liked but the reasons they were not able to do so were solid. I made the appointment one day in advance, a very friendly rep met me at my home and thoroughly assessed my car, made an offer and then agreed to raise it a bit, wrote me a check on the spot, and had someone come over to take the car whenever I was ready, which was the following morning.

Such an easy process, and frankly the time saved on the hassle of looking for and haggling with potential buyers was worth the slightly higher higher price I may have been able to negotiate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I showed up without an appointment, I showed them the printed out appraisal I had just received from carmax up in Danvers that morning and how I was unhappy with it. Carmax swore they had the best price and no one could top their appraisal. Charlie spent 5 minutes looking at my car while it was raining and after plugging in a view items into his computer he eventually offered me 1,000 more than carmax offered. They were honest and answered all my questions, I never felt pressured. I almost didn't even go, glad I did, saved myself an extra thousand.

Absolutely believe the reviews! With my lease ending soon, I started to look into buying my vehicle outright. I checked what the local market (car dealers, mainly) were selling Highlanders that were similarly equipped and good condition. Using very conservative estimates I determined that I had some equity in this vehicle. Not a huge amount, but around $1500, definitely worth my time!

After my wife indicated her preference for a new vehicle, I decided to see what local dealers would offer to purchase the vehicle from me. I won't waste a lot of time describing my experience, suffice to say that I did not get satisfaction from the dealers, and in fact was pretty much lied to, right to my face, by two different dealers. After entering my vehicle info on KBB, Paul from City Motor Group contacted me, expressing an interest in buying the vehicle.

I made an appointment for the next day, and Charlie met me in the lot at the appointed time. He quickly appraised my car, offered me a very fair price, and I was on my way after 30 minutes or so with a check in my pocket. They handled all the paperwork, the process could not have been easier. I cannot say enough about how refreshing it was to be treated so fairly, with so much courtesy and efficiency! I will definitely recommend BostonCarBuyers to anyone with a need to sell a vehicle!

My wife sold her car with City Motor Group / Boston Car Buyers this past weekend; she had a really good experience. We initially planned on trading in her car, but the numbers we were getting from dealers were on the low side. At that point we went to Carmax, which was really unpleasant and unproductive (45-min plus wait in crowded lobby, in spite of making an appointment ahead of time, then another low-ball offer, ugh).

We made another appointment with CMG/BCB, drove down to show them the car-- the appraisal was quick and professional, there were no "COVID crowding" issues, and the offer on the car was very fair/competitive. Highly recommend City Motor Group / Boston Car Buyers -- friendly, efficient, professional treatment with courtesy, fair prices. I would definitely use them again.

Simple process made for an overall pleasant experience. Took less than 40 minutes to conduct appraisal, agree on sale price, then finish paperwork which included paying off previous loan.

Selling a car to Boston Car Buyers was quick and easy. I walked in with my car, and Todd appraised it and cut me a check in about 30 minutes. Todd was friendly and professional, and was even able to beat the offer that I had recently gotten from CarMax. The whole experience was very pleasant, and I recommend Boston Car Buyers to anyone who is looking to sell a car.

Just yesterday 6/7/2019 I went to take a look at a Toyota Corolla 2015 that I saw advertised on their website. When I arrived I met Spencer one of the Salesmen on site. Spencer is wonderful and went over all my options, answered any questions I had concerning the vehicle and even had the courtesy to bring my family some water for our visit. For the finalized of the car, we spoke to Alexandra and she is incredibly nice and efficient.

The process was very fast compared to other experiences I've had before. I would recommend City Motor Group to any of my family and friends as the prices are affordable with reasonable dealership fee's.

As many other Reviewers have stated, really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Got a totally fair price (several thousand higher than other dealers offered) and everything was done in a snap. I never take the time to write reviews unless the service from a business is far worse, or far better, than the norm - and this was definitely the latter.

Absurdly easy. Seriously. We drove our car in and rode an Uber out with our check 20 min later. Charles was a pleasure to work with and made the experience stress free. The price Charles offered us was what we wanted, but with no haggling. None. Believe the other 5 star reviews, THIS is the place to sell your car. Thank you, Charles!

I had an excellent experience with City Motors. Patrick contacted me, asked for the VIN number of my car. Then he offered a purchase price of the Kelly Blue Book stated value of my car. I drove in to City Motors a couple days later, and as Patrick promised, walked away in a half hour, with a company check. Great people, straight shooters.

We found Charlie Jr. through Kelley Blue Book and followed up on an online "instant cash offer" for our 2004 Honda Accord. Having done research and getting multiple dealer quotes, we know we got a great price. The process could not have been easier. Called to make an appointment, got an appraisal and walked away with a check in 24 hours. No gimmicks, no slimy salespeople - professional and fast!

Sold my car to these guys. Patrick reached out on an ad I placed for my car as I was relocated overseas. He made an offer. I went to a few other dealers and his was the best offer so I went with Patrick's offer. He was flexible on when to meet up and going in to drop the car was an easy process. It's a tiny place by Lechemere. They say they pay cash but it's a check like anywhere.

But they are organized and know what they are doing. It's not what you would get for selling private but I didn't have the time to do that so was happy with the offer and the service.

It only took about 6 months of living in Boston to realize that we didn't have much use for our car.or car payments.or parking costs.or car insurance costs.or, well, you get the point! Once we committed to getting rid of our car, I went to autotrader.com, filled out the info and was provided a list of potential buyers. Before I could even explore the list of options, Charlie, from City Motor Group reached out.

Within a day we were sitting in their office, handing over our keys, and cashing our check! City Motor Group is an unassuming spot, with their tiny office surrounded by a ton of cars (relative to the lot size, that is) of all makes and models. Charlie was really nice, fair with his offer, and in less than 30 minutes, our car was gone. The entire transaction was very professional, efficient, and thorough, but not without a dose of friendly, casual conversation.

The real highlight, though, was post-sale, when our bank claimed to have not received payment after 2 weeks. I reached out and Charlie, who showed sincere frustration with our bank's operations and empathy for us and our fears, quickly found a copy of the payoff (which had happened the next business day after we left their office). Just like that, our bank recognized and fixed their error.

The fast, personable service we encountered during our initial sale didn't end that day, and that was nice to see. That explains why this family-run business is still around! I'd definitely recommend!

When you think about used car dealers or cash for cars companies, you will be likely thinking of something quite different than this place. These guys are extremely professional, fair and helpful. They we honest about how I could possibly sell my old high-mileage Jeep elsewhere. I didn't want to deal with private sale though. The price they gave me is actually the exact price I was looking to get though.

They walked me through the process step-by-step, and I didn't feel any pressure at any point. If you're looking to sell your vehicle and don't want it to be a stressful situation, come to these guys. Highly recommended!

City Motor Group was amazing! They gave me $1000 on top of the dealers offer (no surprise) in less than 5 minutes. I was sad to get rid of my car but for what they gave me it made it easier. Professional and courteous from start to finish. Thank you again!

Not sure where all these great car reviews come from, but this place was terrible. Drove 45 minutes for a quick 10 minute session of them basically wanting to steal your car. Was offered less than I owe on the car for a car that is fully equipped and valued much higher for a dealer to sell. With lower miles than I see most selling for. I really relied on these reviews and it just seems these people were paid to rate this place high.

After reading these reviews on yelp, I decided to go ahead and sell my car that I no longer needed through Charlie. It was an incredibly easy process that took less than half an hour start to finish. He was very honest about why he set the price he did and even suggested some other options for selling my car. I wanted to get rid of it that day so went ahead and accepted his offer.

I left free of my car, check in hand, and hopped onto the green line less than a block away. My only regret is that I didn't do this months ago. If you want to sell your car without dealing with random buyers on Craigslist, this is the place. Friendly, fair, timely, and easy!

I got an email from Patrick from City Motor Group, in response of my post. I was a little hesitate when i got the email, but after i checked their yelp review, I decided to drive in to take a look at this place myself. Their location is very easy to find, pretty much across the street of Lechmere subway station and it is very close to CambridgeSide Galleria mall where I shop all the time.

So the location makes me feel comfortable. After I met Patrick, he is very nice, polite and professional, much different from what I have imagined that a car dealer would look like. They took out my car for a test ride, and Charlie did some research on his books and computer, then he made me an offer. I had been trying to sell my car on my own for a while, but too many tire kickers and so much time was wasted.

Plus I think Charlie's offer was very reasonable, So I sold my Honda Civic to them on the spot. The whole process took about 15 min till I got a Bank check. Painless and very professional. I took the Green line T home after the deal. I would highly recommend my friends to come to this place.
