Why you should choose Midstate

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the source of your inventory?
We have many different sources for the cars and trucks we stock.  Vehicles may have come in trade from our new or used car operations, have been purchased at dealer sales, off-lease vehicles, direct purchases from customers or purchased from other dealers, banks and credit unions.  We sell cars with clean titles only, this means we will never retail salvage, or flood vehicles unless specifically noted.  We will post a complete Carfax Vehicle History Report on many of our pre-owned vehicles.  If you do not see a report on the vehicle you are interested in, please contact us and we will get you a copy.  We have paid for the  report so you won't have to.  We are happy to supply them for every car we offer for sale. 

What source of payments do you accept?

We accept verified cashier checks drawn on US banks, in US funds, local checks subject to approval, wire transfers and cash.  In addition we offer financing through several national lenders, regional banks and local credit unions.  If you are interested in getting pre-approved for credit, please click here to go to our 2 minute secure on-line credit application.
 

I live out of state and want to fly in and buy my car?
No problem!  We have had customers do this before and it is easy.  Please make arrangements to fly into Burlington International Airport (Airport code BTV) and we will pick you up.  Please call ahead of time giving us your flight information so we can meet you.

What about Warranties?
Most of our used vehicles come with a warranty, the exception being some of the lower priced older vehicles that are sold as-is because of the very low price range and age of the vehicle.  In addition to the warranty that comes with the vehicle, Midstate offers a complete range of optional service contracts that are honored nationwide.  If you have any questions, please let us know.

Do you accept trades?
Yes we do!  For a value on your trade please complete our on-line Instant Trade In Value form.

What about transportation?
If you decide to purchase on-line or over the phone and do not want to travel to Vermont, we would be happy to provide you with a list of trucking companies that will provide you with a rate to move your new vehicle.

What other fees are there besides the purchase price?
On-line prices do not include any taxes, registration fees, transportation or documentation fees.  If you live in Vermont and register the vehicle here, you will be required to pay to the State of Vermont 6% Purchase and Use tax on the net purchase price after a reduction for any previously registered trade in.  If you live out of state and are taking the vehicle out of Vermont, this tax does not apply to you and no taxes will be collected.  In addition, we are able to supply a 30 day transit plate to customers taking their purchase out of state at no charge.  This will allow you to drive the vehicle for up to 30 days on the transit plate.  Vermont residents will also have registration fees of:  $60.00 per year (pleasure cars & trucks under 6099 lbs.) for registration, $28.00 for a title fee and an additional $7.00 if a lien has to be recorded on the title to indicate a loan from a finance institution.  If a Vermont resident has plates they can transfer, the $60.00 registration fee is changed to a $20.00 transfer fee.  For more information on Vermont registration fees, click here to visit the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles web site.  Midstate charges a $95.00 documentation fee to offset the costs of preparing the paperwork and getting the car ready for delivery.  If you have any questions about special plates or higher weight class vehicles, please contact us to verify any fees.
