Home / How it works
From first call to paid, in three steps
No auctions, no strangers test-driving your car, no waiting for a check in the mail. Here is exactly what happens when you sell to us.
Make the deal
Send your car's details online or call us. A buyer looks at the car, its history and the market, then gives you a real number. If you accept, that's the price, with no games at pickup.
- Start with a plate, a VIN or year, make and model
- Owned, financed or leased, all welcome
- No obligation until you say yes
Free pickup or drop-off
Pick a time and place: your home, your office or your bank. We come to you. Prefer to drive in? Bring the car to our office in Buena Park.
Get paid, done
We pay off your loan or lease directly, hand you a cashier's check for the difference, and complete the title transfer and DMV paperwork with you on the spot.
- Same-day payment by cashier's check
- Lender payoff handled for you
- Release of liability filed with the DMV
What to have ready
Missing something? Tell us. Most things can be sorted out on the day.
Title or lender details
The pink slip if you own it, or your lender's name and account number.
Lease account number
If you lease, so we can request the buyout amount.
Photo ID
For everyone named on the title.
Keys and registration
All keys and fobs, plus your current registration card.
Can I sell a car I'm still leasing?
Yes. We get the buyout amount from your leasing company, pay it off directly and pay you any equity above it.
What if I owe more than the car is worth?
We'll show you the numbers. You can pay the difference at the time of sale and we handle the rest.
How do you work out the offer?
We look at the car's condition, mileage, history and what similar cars are selling for right now.
Do you buy cars outside Southern California?
Yes. Call us to talk through pickup for your area.
How do I get paid?
By cashier's check on the day, usually at your bank or ours, so you can deposit it straight away.
