No account to create. No inspection to schedule before you see a number. No auction where strangers bid on your car. You tell us what it is, we tell you what we will pay, and if you say yes we come and get it.
Four things get you a number: year, make and model, rough mileage, what happened to it, and the ZIP code it is sitting in.
Then the details that sharpen it. Does it run? Does it have keys? Is anything missing from it? Where does your title stand, and is there still a loan? Photographs help more than any description, especially of damage and of the odometer.
A real figure, usually the same day, issued before any truck is dispatched.
Sit on it. Compare it. Call three other buyers with it and ask each of them whether their price will change when the driver arrives. Nothing is dispatched and nothing is committed until you say yes.
Usually within 24 to 48 hours of acceptance, anywhere in Florida.
Driveways, apartment and condo garages, body shops, storage lots and tow yards are all routine, and the car does not need to run or have keys. You are paid in full before it is loaded and gone.
Florida titles are usually electronic, so there may be nothing physical to hand over. Tell us when you call and we will tell you which route is quickest. The title guide walks through it.
In Florida the plate is yours, not the car's. Remove it before we arrive, then transfer or surrender it before you cancel the insurance, in that order.
Glovebox, center console, trunk, under the seats, the garage door remote, the toll transponder and the charging cable if it is an EV. Once it is on the truck it is gone.
Behind a gate, in a stacked condo garage, on a soft verge, blocked in by two other cars, at a tow yard with a lien. All of it is manageable when we know in advance, and all of it is a problem when we do not.
Two commitments, and one question we want you to ask every buyer you call, including us.
Show us a written quote from a junkyard or scrap yard on the same vehicle and we will beat it. Not match it. Beat it.
That is arithmetic rather than a stunt. A yard prices your car by what it weighs and which parts it can pull. We price it by what it is: year, make, model, trim, mileage and where the damage sits. On anything late-model those two numbers are not close.
Your offer is issued in writing before a truck is dispatched. It does not change when the driver arrives, it is not revised once the car is on the deck, and nothing is discovered on pickup day that costs you a few hundred.
The only thing that can move the number is finding the vehicle is materially different from how you described it. Describe it honestly and the number you accepted is the number you are handed.
Ask every buyer this before you accept
“Will this price change when the driver gets here?”
Ask us. Then ask everyone else you call, and listen closely to the answer. A buyer who will not commit to the number on the phone has told you what happens next. The most common complaint we hear from sellers is not that an offer was low. It is that the offer was lowered in the driveway, after the car was already loaded and saying no had become difficult.
The one exception, said up front. On a very old, high-mileage shell, scrap weight may genuinely be close to what the vehicle is worth, and there may be little room to beat. If that is your car, we will tell you on the phone rather than waste your afternoon. We would rather lose the sale than talk you into a bad one.
Most sellers are done within 24 to 48 hours of accepting the offer. The offer itself usually comes back the same day. If the car is at a tow yard running up storage fees, say so, because that changes how fast we should move.
Someone has to be there to hand over the keys, if there are keys, and the paperwork, and to be paid. It does not have to be you as long as the person there is authorized and the title situation is sorted out in advance.
No. Pickup is free everywhere in Florida and nothing is deducted for towing, paperwork or administration. The figure you accepted is the figure you are handed.
Don't Drive It? Sell It!
Year, make and model, rough mileage, what happened to it, and the ZIP code. That is enough for a real number.
