    Sell Your Car Directly

    Selling privately can involve advertising, answering messages, arranging viewings and negotiating. A direct sale gives you another option: describe your vehicle, review an offer and decide whether the terms work for you.

    Learn how to sell your car directly. Before pickup, we explain payment, towing and the details we need to verify.

    Cash Offers for Junk Cars

    An unused or damaged vehicle may still have value through its remaining parts, condition and current demand. We evaluate old cars, accident-damaged vehicles and cars with major mechanical problems across San Diego County.

    Our junk car selling guide explains what to have ready. If the title is missing, tell us before arranging pickup so we can discuss ownership documents.

    Sell a Damaged or Salvage Car

    Collision, rollover or flood damage does not automatically make a vehicle worthless. An offer depends on the year, make, model, mileage, remaining parts, ownership status and extent of the damage.

    Before paying for repairs, compare the estimated cost with an offer for the vehicle as it sits. Photos and an honest description help us evaluate the damage and pickup needs.

    We Buy Non-Running Cars

    We evaluate vehicles that will not start, have engine or transmission problems, or have failed smog. Describe the known problems and tell us whether the vehicle rolls and steers.

    If we purchase the vehicle, we include towing when you need removal. Tell us about flat tires, missing keys or blocked access before scheduling so we can plan the pickup.

    Check Vehicle Pickup Availability

    Moving, facing a major repair or replacing a vehicle can make timing important. Call with your vehicle details and preferred pickup date so we can check availability.

    Pickup timing depends on the vehicle, ownership documents, location and access. We confirm the appointment with you before sending a truck.
