The Buy Center !  KEITH O’CONNOR LEON NGUYEN of Enfield

The signs at The Buy Center of Enfield say it all.

“We Buy Cars” and “If It Runs, You Get the Funds.”

They are not a used car dealer, they are a Buying Center to sell your vehicle to. “There is no pressure to buy something else when you are here because all we do is buy cars,” said Jason “Crazy Jay” Birch, general manager of The Buy Center of Enfield. The idea to create The Buy Center - which will soon add a new location in Western Massachusetts - began with an idea by Birch and Michael Green, owner of Gale Toyota in Enfield.

“We set out to create an outlet for local customers to sell their vehicles fairly, and to get the most money for their car or truck. We have built an extensive buying network locally and around the United States to do just that. We act as a broker and because our network is so big, we can typically beat dealer trade-in offers and online offers," Birch said.

The Buy Center operation - a subsidiary to Gale Toyota - grew to be so big that a separate location was

established with Birch serving as its general manager.

“Our mission is to get our customers the most money for their cars through our established buyer channels with wholesalers across the country or at auctions,” Birch said, noting he sometimes holds his own auctions.

Before visiting The Buy Center, Birch recommends going to their website, crazyjcars. com, and entering information about the vehicle you want to sell. They have partnered with the largest valuation guide company in the United States, Kelly Blue Book, to help guide the information provided.

“You need to be truthful about all the information you enter, including such things as any damage to your car, so that you can get an accurate assessment of what your car is now worth in the current market," Birch said.

“Then come to us, or we can even come to you, and meet with myself or one of our agents. We will go through a full inspection of your car before making a final offer. And, in most cases, you will leave with a check in hand. Also, if your vehicle is leased or financed, we will take all the hassle out of the paperwork and make it a very smooth and simple process," he added.

While their slogan is “If It Runs, You Get the Funds,” Birch noted even if the car doesn’t run, they may be able to find a home for it.

Birch offered his thoughts on the used car market, noting many people continue to prefer buying a used car over a new factory vehicle because of the depreciation a new car has when driven off the lot, and because of the new incentives for pre-owned vehicles, especially those certified. He said "there is no place better locally to go to get the most money for your vehicle, and also being treated fairly during the process, hands down."

As for the nickname Crazy J, Birch said he made a fun dealership video for car buying while wearing a red, white and blue hat and glasses. “From that silly video someone gave me the name Crazy J and it stuck,” he said
