Meet Chet Jennings, the neighbor who buys your car.
A licensed Florida dealer, right here in the South Shore — not a call center three states away. I come to you, put the offer in writing, and handle the title paperwork.
I'm Chet Jennings. I own Sun City Auto Buyers, I'm a licensed and bonded Florida motor vehicle dealer, and I buy cars — and, case by case, boats and RVs — from neighbors around Sun City Center and Kings Point. I come to you, I put the offer in writing, and I handle the title paperwork. No pressure, no games.
Why I started this
Selling a vehicle should be one of the easy parts of your week, not a project. Too many folks around here get lowball phone calls, confusing offers, or a stranger who wants them to drive somewhere and haggle. That's not right — especially for people who are downsizing, no longer driving, relocating, or handling a loved one's estate.
So I built something simpler: a fair offer based on real market pricing, put in writing and good for 7 days, and all the title work handled for you. You and your family look it over, and you decide. That's the whole idea.
How I actually work
- Fair — the offer is based on live market pricing, and I'll show you how I got there.
- In writing — you get the number on paper, good for 7 days.
- I come to you — your driveway in Kings Point or Sun City Center is fine.
- Paperwork handled — I take care of the Florida title transfer so you don't have to.
- Family welcome — invite a son, daughter, or neighbor to sit in. I want them there.
A few neighbors I've helped
A widow in Kings Point. When her husband passed, his car sat in the garage and she wasn't looking forward to dealing with strangers online. I came to her in Kings Point, walked her through the offer in writing, and handled the Florida title transfer myself so she never had to set foot in an office.
A couple in Sun City Center. They were going from two cars down to one and wanted it simple and fair. We agreed on a number the same afternoon, I put it in writing, and I took care of all the title paperwork for them.
A 2008 Proline in Apollo Beach. A boat that hadn't run in a couple of summers. Boats title differently than cars and have their own storage considerations, so I explained what was different up front, then made a fair written offer and handled the rest.
My license, and how to check it
I'm a licensed and bonded Florida motor vehicle dealer. You can hold me to that — the license number is VI1102056/1, under BALM Investments, LLC (d/b/a Sun City Auto Buyers). A licensed dealer means the title transfer is done right and you're protected.
Straight answers.
Do I have to drive somewhere?
No. I come to your home in Sun City Center, Kings Point, Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Riverview, Brandon, Valrico, Wimauma, and the nearby South Shore area.
How is the offer decided?
It's based on live market pricing for your specific vehicle. I'll show you the reasoning, put the number in writing, and it's good for 7 days so you and your family can think it over.
Can my family be part of it?
Please — I encourage it. Invite whoever you'd like to sit in. There's no pressure and no rush.
Do you buy boats and RVs too?
Case by case, yes. They have different title and storage rules than cars, so I'll walk you through what's different before anything is decided.
What if the car doesn't run?
That's fine — I look at vehicles in any condition. Just tell me what's going on with it when you call.
