Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MAX Trade Event?

The MAX Trade Event is a one-day vehicle buying event designed to help you receive the highest possible value for your vehicle. Using our extensive network of retail, wholesale, fleet, and export buyers, we leverage every available resource to create the strongest possible offer for your vehicle.

Do I have to buy a vehicle to participate?

No. We believe strong offers sell vehicles—not pressure. Receive your appraisal, review your options, and decide what's best for you. Sell today or walk away with valuable information at no cost.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Vehicle appraisals, market evaluations, and purchase offers are completely free. Every attendee will also receive a complimentary vehicle history report, be entered into our prize draws and giveaways, and enjoy a free lunch on us. Come out, have some fun, and discover what your vehicle is really worth!

How long does the process take?

Appointments take approximately 45 minutes from check-in to receiving your offer. To ensure we can provide your appraisal, vehicle history report, market evaluation, and purchase offer within your appointment window, we ask that you arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

What makes this different from a normal appraisal?

Instead of receiving just one opinion, your vehicle is evaluated through multiple buying channels—including retail, wholesale, fleet, and export markets. By leveraging multiple buyers and markets, we create maximum competition for your vehicle to help ensure you receive the highest possible value. 

Can I sell my vehicle even if I don't buy one from you?

Absolutely. We purchase vehicles outright whether you buy another vehicle or not.

How is my vehicle's value determined?

We review current market conditions, vehicle condition, mileage, history, and real-time buyer demand.

 What vehicles are you interested in?

We are actively looking for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and specialty vehicles of all makes and models. If your vehicle is a 2018 model year or older, please contact us before the event so we can review it in advance. We love great vehicles and want to make sure every vehicle we purchase finds the right new home while maximizing value for its current owner.

What do I need to bring?

Your vehicle, ownership, keys, and a valid driver's licence. The owner of the vehicle must be present in order to complete the sale. 

What if I still owe money on my vehicle?

No problem. Whether you have a loan or a lease, we can help. Our team will determine your payoff amount, review your equity position, and explain your options. Erinwood Ford will manage lien payouts, lease buyouts, and all required paperwork on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transaction. 

What if my vehicle is leased?

No problem. We can review your lease position, determine any available equity, and explain the best options available to you. Our experienced team is fully equipped to assist with lease buyouts, lease transfers, and early lease terminations, making the process simple and straightforward.

Will I receive my offer the same day?

Yes. During your appointment, you will receive a written appraisal and offer sheet outlining the value of your vehicle and available options. Your offer will remain valid for 72 hours, giving you time to review your options and make the decision that's right for you.

Am I obligated to accept the offer?

No. You are free to accept it, decline it, or take time to consider your options.

How long is my offer valid?

Offers are valid for 72 hours. Vehicle values and market conditions can change quickly, so all offer details and expiry dates will be clearly outlined during your appointment.

Can I trade in more than one vehicle?

Yes. Multiple vehicles can be appraised during the event. To ensure the best possible experience, we ask that vehicles be submitted one at a time and that separate appointments be booked for each vehicle. Whenever possible, we recommend booking back-to-back appointment times to make the process quick and convenient.

 Can I bring a family member or friend?

Absolutely. We encourage customers to bring anyone involved in the decision-making process.

What if my vehicle has damage or high mileage?

We are interested in vehicles of all conditions and mileage ranges. A simple question to ask yourself is: "Would I feel comfortable selling this vehicle to a friend or family member?" If the answer is yes, we're definitely interested. Our team evaluates each vehicle individually and will provide the strongest offer possible based on its condition and market demand.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, please book Appointments at www.maxtradeevent.ca or contact Erinwood Ford directly to book an appointment. Walk-ins will be accommodated when possible, however appointments will be prioritized. 

Why are you willing to pay more for some vehicles?

Certain vehicles have strong demand in export, wholesale or retail markets, creating opportunities for higher offers.

What is the biggest reason people attend?

Many owners discover their vehicle is worth significantly more than they expected and leave with options they never knew existed. With ongoing market changes, tariff uncertainty, fluctuating vehicle values, and evolving buying trends, it can be difficult to know what your vehicle is truly worth. Our team will guide you through the process, provide clear information, and help ensure you receive maximum value for your vehicle.

"What if I'm not planning to sell right now?"

That's exactly why you should attend. Most people have no idea what their vehicle is worth in today's market, and many are surprised by the opportunities available to them. The MAX Trade Event is designed to provide valuable information, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions—whether you're ready to sell today, next month, or next year.

This event was built with consumers in mind. We encourage you to ask questions, explore your options, gather valuable market information, and enjoy a great day with our team. Whether you choose to sell your vehicle or not, you'll leave with a better understanding of its value and the confidence to make the right decision when the time comes.
