You can sell more than a scrap car

A vehicle does not have to be completely worn out before you call. We consider unwanted cars that still run, older high-mileage vehicles, damaged vehicles and non-running cars. You may be replacing a vehicle, avoiding a costly repair or clearing a second car from the driveway. Explain the vehicle’s condition and what you need from the pickup. We will discuss whether we can buy it and give you an offer based on the details you provide.

Compare the whole selling process

When weighing an offer, consider the pickup arrangements as well as the amount. Selling privately can involve messages, viewings and figuring out how a non-running vehicle will leave your property. Our process starts with a free phone quote and includes free towing for vehicles we purchase within our service area. We offer $400–$4,000 depending on the car. Ask about the payment, documents and schedule before you agree so the sale matches what you need.

Tell us what works and what does not

Let us know the make, model, year and mileage if known. Describe engine or transmission trouble, body damage and any missing major parts. If the car runs, mention that too. A vehicle that starts but cannot be driven safely should be described that way rather than simply called running. We can plan pickup around its actual condition. You do not need to get a repair completed before requesting an offer.

From a Chicago driveway to a completed sale

We arrange pickup in Chicago and nearby communities within our 50-mile service area. Give us the address and any access instructions, and ask whether same-day service is available. Before pickup, remove personal items and gather the ownership documents. We verify the vehicle and seller information, finish the required paperwork and pay cash on the spot when the purchase is completed. Then we load and remove the vehicle, with towing included.
