Our story

A name your grandparents trusted.

It started with Harry Cramer Oldsmobile in Steelton in 1939. A Honda store followed in 1972. The Budget franchise — founded by Mr. Cramer in 1968 — was renamed Cramer Car Sales in 2026 to reflect what it had quietly become: one of Central PA's most respected pre-owned dealers.

"Every car on our lot was hand-picked from our own 4,000-vehicle fleet. They were driven by salespeople and executives — never abused, never auctioned, never a mystery." — The Cramer Family

That's why we can offer One Price, no haggle — the lowest fair number, every time. And it's why neighbors keep coming back, generation after generation.

Why sell to Cramer

The difference is everything.

I

One price. No haggle.

We benchmark every offer against real-time market data. The number you get is the number we pay — no theatrics, no walk-back.

II

Same-day cash.

Accept the offer and walk out paid. Certified check or same-day bank transfer the moment paperwork clears.

III

Paperwork handled.

Title, lien payoff, DMV — all of it. You sign once and we do the rest. If you're upside-down, we work with your lender directly.

IV

Family, not franchise.

Four generations of Cramers in Middletown. Reputation is the only currency that's lasted us 85 years. We protect it.

1

Drop your VIN or plate number. Sixty seconds, no account, no spam.

2

Frequently asked

Real answers, no fine print.

If you don't see your question, just call us. The number reaches a real person at the dealership — not a call center.

Sales line (717) 461-8172
Do I have to buy a car from you to sell mine?

No. You can sell us your car with zero obligation to buy anything. Many of our customers walk out with cash and never look at our lot.

How is the offer calculated?

We use real-time market data, regional demand, and a brief in-person inspection. You'll see the comparable listings we benchmarked against — full transparency, no black-box pricing.

What if I still owe money on the car?

Not a problem. We coordinate the lien payoff with your lender directly, settle the loan from our end, and you receive the remaining equity. If you're upside-down, we'll show you exactly what it would take to close the gap.

What documents do I need to bring?

Vehicle title (or payoff details if financed), current registration, both sets of keys if you have them, and a valid government ID. That's it.

How fast do I get paid?

Once we verify the vehicle and the paperwork, you walk out the same day with a certified check — or a bank wire that clears within 24 hours.

Can you come to me?

Yes. For most of Dauphin, Cumberland, and Lancaster counties we'll send an appraiser to your driveway, verify the car, and hand you a check there.
