Meet Joe Frankman
Vehicle Acquisitions Manager
Joe Frankman personally evaluates every vehicle that comes through our door — and every submission that comes through this form. He's not a chatbot, not an algorithm, and not a call center. He's a real person with a real phone number, and when you call, Joe answers. Not just the first time — every time.
Joe grew up around the car business his entire life. After a successful career in senior sales and corporate training at Buckle, he returned to the automotive industry 15 years ago and has personally purchased over 1,000 vehicles from private parties. He's a Sioux Falls family man with two daughters, deeply involved in his local church, and the first to volunteer at Frankman's community charity events. He's one of the best networkers in the Sioux Falls area — everyone seems to know Joe, and everyone seems to love him.
Joe's philosophy is simple: every car has a story. Algorithms don't care how well you maintained your car, how many service records you have, or how nicely it drives. Joe does.
Algorithms don't care how nice your car is. Joe Frankman does.
Why Sell Your Car to Frankman Motor Company?
There are plenty of places that will make you an offer on your car. Here's why thousands of sellers choose Joe Frankman over the big-name alternatives.
We Typically Pay More
Because Joe evaluates every vehicle personally — not through an algorithm — he accounts for things like maintenance history, condition, service records, and how well the car was cared for. That means our offers frequently beat Carvana, CarMax, and KBB Instant Cash Offer.
A Real Person, Every Time You Call
When you call Frankman Motor Company about selling your car, Joe Frankman answers the phone. Not a call center. Not an AI chatbot. Not a random representative. Joe. And he'll answer every single time you call — from your first question to the final handshake.
No Bait-and-Switch
We don't give you a high number online and then slash it when you show up. If Joe needs more information to firm up his offer, he'll ask for it upfront. If the vehicle requires an in-person inspection, he'll tell you that before you make the trip. What Joe quotes is what you get.
We Handle the Payoff
Still making payments on your vehicle? No problem. We handle the entire payoff process directly with your lender. You receive a check for your equity — the difference between Joe's offer and your remaining loan balance. No trips to the bank, no paperwork headaches.
We Buy Nationwide
You don't need to be in Sioux Falls. Frankman Motor Company buys vehicles from sellers in all 48 lower states. Send us your photos and videos through the form above, and Joe will evaluate your vehicle remotely. The best offer comes from bringing it in person, but it's not required.
If It's Not Our Wheelhouse, We'll Help
Our goal is to maximize the value for you — even if that means connecting you with someone else. If your vehicle is outside our expertise and we know a dealer or buyer who will pay more, we'll make that introduction. That's the kind of dealership we are.
