CarVendee

CarVendee is a Car Buyer in North Charleston, SC, operating from 7301 Rivers Ave. The business specializes in purchasing used vehicles, offering customers a quick estimate or final cash offer for their cars in under two minutes. After a customer enters simple details, CarVendee contacts them to schedule a time to confirm the vehicle's condition. Following a quick inspection, the company cuts a check in under one hour, preparing all necessary paperwork and filing what the DMV needs. The goal is to have everyone paid the same day, with buyers ensuring the customer knows exactly when payment is received. Even when a lien payoff is involved, the process is designed to work without delaying the customer's payment.

The vehicle inspection process is detailed and covers four main areas: interior, exterior, mechanical integrity, and structural integrity. Inspectors check for rips, tears, and stains in the interior, while verifying that electronic features like navigation and radio function as intended. They look for inordinate or unusual wear and tear that exceeds the vehicle's miles or age. Exterior checks include looking for dings, dents, deep scratches, and signs of previous repair, such as turned bolts. During a mile test drive, the team assesses mechanical issues like engine knock, hard shifting, differential noise, brakes, and suspension. If a check engine light is on, they pull engine codes to diagnose the issue. Structural integrity checks ensure the safety of the vehicle has not been compromised by previous damage or repairs to frame components. CarVendee handles lien payoffs by confirming the amount with the lien holder, overnighting the precise payoff, and receiving the title, managing the heavy lifting for the customer. The offer is valid for seven days, provided the vehicle's condition does not change.

The team includes Burnell King, Wholesale Director; Michael Cady, Purchasing Manager; Phil Wittman, Lead Vehicle Evaluator; and Nick Lunardini, Fleet Acquisitions. Other staff members include Nyasia Cook, Acquisition Specialist; Michael Owens, Inventory Manager; Krisha Parmar, Wholesale Coordinator; and several buyers and lot porters. CarVendee is powered by the Hudson Automotive Group, which gives it access to over 40 dealerships across the country. The company focuses on volume and customer experience, buying a large number of cars to ensure fair and realistic valuations.
