Sold in three steps

No listings, no strangers coming to your house, no haggling in the driveway. Así de fácil.

STEP 01

Tell us about the car

Year, make, condition, and where it's sitting. Two minutes in the form above — or call (954) 256-2451 and tell us directly.

STEP 02

Get your offer by text

We review your vehicle and text you a real cash offer. It's yours to accept or decline — no obligation, no pressure.

STEP 03

We pick up & pay you

Pick a pickup window that suits you. We verify the vehicle and paperwork, pay you on the spot, and tow it away free.

The price we text is the price we pay

Plenty of buyers quote one number on the phone, then cut it in your driveway. We don't work that way. The offer we text you is the amount we pay at pickup, as long as your car matches what you told us about it. When we arrive, we check the vehicle and the paperwork, you sign, we pay you, and the tow is free. Nothing comes off the price for things you already told us about.

Two cars? One trip.

Use the "more than one vehicle" option in the form and we'll review both together — one trip can take both when truck capacity and scheduling allow.

Running or not, we buy it

If it's a car, truck, SUV or van, we're interested — whatever shape it's in, parts missing included.

Free pickup is included when we buy your vehicle — it doesn't need to move under its own power.
  • Won't start or won't runDead battery, bad starter, or sitting for months — we'll winch it up.
  • Engine or transmission troubleRepair bills bigger than the car is worth? Sell it as-is instead.
  • Collision & body damageWrecked, dented, or insurance totaled — we buy damaged vehicles.
  • Flood damageSouth Florida storms leave cars behind. If yours got wet, talk to us.
  • High mileage200,000+ miles and tired — mileage doesn't scare us.
Sell by condition

Whatever's wrong with it, there's a page — and an offer — for it

Every condition below is a vehicle we buy. Pick the one that sounds like yours and the form starts with it already selected.

Won't start

Dead battery, bad starter, or it just gave up one morning and never turned over again.

Get an offer for a non-starter →

Engine failure

Blown head gasket, seized motor, timing failure — when the repair quote costs more than the car.

Get an offer with engine trouble →

Transmission failure

Starts fine but slips, grinds, or won't move. A transmission quote is exactly when selling as-is makes sense.

Get an offer that won't drive →

Collision damage

Wrecked, airbags out, frame bent, or totaled by insurance and bought back. We buy it in the shape it's in — like the Accord above, crumpled hood and all.

Get an offer for a wreck →

Flood damage

South Florida storms and king tides put water in cars every year. If yours got wet, don't keep paying for it.

Get an offer for flood damage →

High mileage

200,000 miles and honest wear. Dealers lowball it or refuse it — mileage doesn't scare us.

Get an offer for high miles →

Missing parts

Converter cut, parts pulled, half a project. Tell us honestly what's gone and we'll price what's there.

Get an offer, parts missing →

Runs & drives fine

Nothing's wrong with it — you just don't need it anymore. Working cars get offers too.

Sell by vehicle

Cars, trucks, SUVs & vans — we buy them all

Junk cars

Sedans, coupes, hatchbacks and wagons — any make, any year, running or not. The everyday driveway car is our everyday purchase.

Get an offer for my car →

Junk trucks

Work trucks that worked hard: pickups with tired engines, blown transmissions, or bodies that have seen every job site in Broward.

Get an offer for my truck →

Junk SUVs

Family SUVs past their family years — electrical gremlins, AC gone in Florida heat, or a repair list longer than the grocery list.

Get an offer for my SUV →

Junk vans

Minivans and work vans, emptied or not. If it's yours to sell, we'll price it and pick it up free.

Get an offer for my van →

Great service was interested in selling my car! Quoted great price and made the process very easy. Highly recommend

This experience was excellent… they took my concerns into consideration with an above market price for a broke down Ford edge.

Sell by city

Your city, your pickup

One Fort Lauderdale team, picking up across Broward and into Palm Beach. Find your city — every page connects back to the same offer form, and to its neighbors.

Fort Lauderdale

Home base at 1701 NW 22nd St — from Victoria Park to the 17th Street Causeway, we're already in the neighborhood.

Nearby: Oakland Park · Wilton Manors · Plantation Get my Fort Lauderdale offer →

Hollywood

From Hollywood Beach east to the I-95 corridor — including storm-flooded cars near the Intracoastal after a hard rain.

Nearby: Fort Lauderdale · Davie · Pembroke Pines · Hallandale Beach · Dania Beach Get my Hollywood offer →

Plantation

Quiet streets, long driveways, and plenty of second cars that stopped being driven. We pick up across Plantation Acres too.

Nearby: Sunrise · Davie · Fort Lauderdale Get my Plantation offer →

Oakland Park

Our next-door neighbor — Dixie Highway east to the Federal Highway corridor and the waterfront streets beyond. Short hop, same free pickup.

Nearby: Fort Lauderdale · Wilton Manors · Pompano Beach Get my Oakland Park offer →

Wilton Manors

Five Points to the Drive — tight streets are fine; tell us where the car sits and we'll plan the truck around it.

Nearby: Fort Lauderdale · Oakland Park Get my Wilton Manors offer →

Davie

Western Broward's horse country and college town — roomy lots mean room for that truck or project car to sit for years.

Nearby: Plantation · Weston · Hollywood Get my Davie offer →

Sunrise

From Sawgrass Mills traffic to quiet residential grids — if it's parked in Sunrise, we'll come and get it.

Nearby: Plantation · Tamarac · Weston Get my Sunrise offer →

Tamarac

55+ communities and family neighborhoods alike — inherited cars and long-parked sedans are common here, and we handle them respectfully.

Nearby: Sunrise · Coral Springs · Fort Lauderdale Get my Tamarac offer →

Coral Springs

Northwest Broward families with full driveways — the third car here is usually the one nobody's driven since last year.

Nearby: Tamarac · Pompano Beach · Boca Raton Get my Coral Springs offer →

Pompano Beach

From the beach to the air park — salt air is hard on a parked car — rust and rubber go fast near the beach.

Nearby: Deerfield Beach · Oakland Park · Coral Springs Get my Pompano Beach offer →

Deerfield Beach

Broward's north edge, The Cove to Century Village — damaged cars and non-runners picked up free, paid at pickup.

Nearby: Pompano Beach · Boca Raton Get my Deerfield Beach offer →

Boca Raton

Yes, we cross into Palm Beach County — estate cars, garaged classics that never got restored, and everyday drivers alike.

Nearby: Deerfield Beach · Delray Beach · Coral Springs Get my Boca Raton offer →

Delray Beach

Atlantic Ave energy, quiet neighborhoods west of I-95 — we pick up across Delray, from the beach west to the Agricultural Reserve.

Nearby: Boca Raton · Deerfield Beach Get my Delray Beach offer →

Pembroke Pines

Southwest Broward's big suburbs — multi-car households are the norm here, and so is the one car too many.

Nearby: Miramar · Hollywood · Davie Get my Pembroke Pines offer →

Miramar

From older Miramar east of University to the newer west side — HOA letters about a parked car are a specialty of ours.

Nearby: Pembroke Pines · Hollywood Get my Miramar offer →

Weston

Gated communities are no obstacle — give us the gate details when you schedule and pickup stays simple.

Nearby: Davie · Sunrise · Pembroke Pines Get my Weston offer →

Margate

Canals, golf greens, and 55+ communities off Margate Boulevard and Rock Island Road. The car that stopped being driven when the household went down to one driver is common here — we pick it up free, respectfully, and on your schedule.

Nearby: Coconut Creek · Coral Springs · Pompano Beach Get my Margate offer →

Coconut Creek

The Butterfly Capital, from the Promenade and MainStreet to the quiet streets off Lyons Road. Extra cars and inherited sedans sit in Creek driveways for years — one trip can often take two when capacity allows, and pickup is free when we buy.

Nearby: Margate · Pompano Beach · Coral Springs Get my Coconut Creek offer →

Hallandale Beach

South Broward on the county line — Gulfstream Park, the Big Easy Casino, and condo rows along the beach. Low streets flood at king tide, and a car that got wet doesn't have to keep costing you: we buy flood cars as-is.

Nearby: Hollywood · Pembroke Pines · Miramar Get my Hallandale Beach offer →

Dania Beach

Broward's first city, tucked between the airport and the beach — the Dania Cut, the antique district, and streets west of Federal Highway. Non-runners and long-parked cars are our everyday pickup here, free when we buy.

Nearby: Fort Lauderdale · Hollywood · Davie Get my Dania Beach offer →

Read enough? Your car could be gone this week.

Two minutes in the form, a real offer by text, free pickup — and no obligation if the number doesn't work for you.

Questions sellers actually ask us

The honest answers — and every one of them ends the same way: get the offer first, decide after.

I don't have the title — can I still sell my car?

Tell us your situation. We review your ownership and the documents you have, and tell you exactly what's required, before confirming a purchase or pickup — Florida's options for a lost or never-transferred title depend on the vehicle and your circumstances. Start in the form or call (954) 256-2451 — no obligation.

Start your offer →
The car was my family member's. Can I sell it after they've passed?

Tell us your situation. We review ownership and the required documents before confirming a purchase or pickup — estates have their own paperwork path in Florida, and we'll tell you exactly what we need to see for yours. Bring what you have; there's no charge to ask.

Start your offer →
It has flat tires and won't roll. Can you still take it?

Yes. Our trucks winch non-running vehicles onto the bed, flat tires or not — it doesn't need to start, roll, or even have air in the tires. Pickup is free when we buy the vehicle.

Start your offer →
Do I need to clean it out or take the plates off first?

Just take out anything personal you want to keep. In Florida the plate stays with you, not the car, so pull it at pickup — we'll remind you. Everything else, we handle.

Start your offer →
Can you take two cars in one visit?

Yes — that's exactly what the "more than one vehicle" option in the offer form is for. Add the second car and we'll review both together and take them in a single trip when truck capacity and scheduling allow.

Start your offer →
How and when do I get paid?

At pickup. Once we've verified the vehicle matches its description and the paperwork is in order, we pay you on the spot and tow the vehicle away free. You never pay us anything.

Start your offer →
My car is at an apartment, condo, or gated community. Is that a problem?

Usually not. Tell us the gate or parking details when you schedule — a gate code or a heads-up to your front desk is normally all we need.

Start your offer →

More than one vehicle to sell? Sell us the extra car too.

Have an extra vehicle taking up space? It doesn't have to run, shine, or even be missed — if it's a vehicle nobody drives anymore, it can be cash instead. ¿Tienes otro carro parado? También lo compramos.

The extra car, exactly as it sits. Parked at the curb and not being driven — that's the car this section is about. One offer form handles both vehicles.

The spare car

The backup vehicle that hasn't turned a wheel since the new one arrived. Insurance and registration keep billing you for a car you don't use.

Add it to my offer →

The teen's old car

They moved out, moved up, or moved away — and their first car stayed behind in your driveway, slowly becoming yard art.

Add it to my offer →

The inherited car

A parent's or relative's car you're holding onto out of respect, not need. When you're ready, we handle the paperwork conversation gently and clearly.

Add it to my offer →

The project that stalled

Half-restored, half-disassembled, all stalled. If finishing it isn't happening, sell it as it sits — parts missing and all.

What that dead car is costing you

A car that doesn't move still sends you bills. The figures start at zero — slide the numbers to match your situation; this is your money, your math.

Run your numbers

Estimates only, from the figures you enter — nothing here is a quote or an offer.

Keeping it has cost you about
$680

That's $85 a month — $1,020 a year — for a car that isn't moving.

  • Registration renewals, tickets, and HOA or city code letters aren't even counted here.
  • A sitting car doesn't hold its value — tires rot, seals dry out, batteries die, and buyers know it.
  • Selling flips it: one pickup, payment in hand, and the monthly drip stops.
Stop the drip — get my offer

This tool multiplies the numbers you enter — it's an illustration of carrying costs, not a valuation of your vehicle. Your actual offer is worked out by our team from your vehicle's details and texted to you for review, with no obligation.

What goes into your offer

No mystery formula. These are the six things our team weighs when we price a vehicle — tap each one to see how it counts.

Newer vehicles and models with strong demand for their parts and metal generally weigh more in an offer than older, less common ones. It's the starting point for everything else.
A car that runs and drives counts differently from one that starts but won't move, and both count differently from one that won't start at all. Be straight with us — we buy all three, and accuracy keeps your offer firm at pickup.
Mileage, collision or flood damage, and rust all factor in. High mileage alone doesn't kill an offer — plenty of 200,000-mile vehicles still have real value in their components and weight.
A vehicle with its catalytic converter, engine, and transmission still in place is worth more to us than one that's been picked over. If parts are missing, say so — we still buy, we just price what's actually there.
Scrap metal prices and local demand for a model's parts change week to week. We price from the market as it stands when you ask — which is one more reason a sitting car rarely gets more valuable by waiting.
A title in hand and a vehicle our truck can reach make everything faster. No title or tight access doesn't end the conversation — it just changes what we need from you before pickup.

You've looked at 0 of 6 factors — that's the whole checklist, nothing hidden behind it.

Seller guides

Know before you sell

The questions every Broward seller asks, answered straight. Read one, or skip the homework and start your offer — both end in the same place.

What actually sets a junk car's value

Weight, completeness, running condition, and today's market — the same six factors our team uses, explained without the sales talk.

See the six factors ↑

Selling a car without a title in Florida

Lost it, never transferred it, or it's in someone else's name — what Florida allows, and what we'll need to see before pickup.

Ask us about your car →

Repair it or sell it? Run the real math

When the quote is bigger than the car, the answer is usually clear — a framework for deciding, including the costs nobody puts on the estimate.

Run the cost check ↑

Selling a car from an estate

Executors and heirs: the paperwork Florida expects, how pickup works at a family home, and how to keep it simple for everyone involved.

What happens to your car after pickup

Reusable parts go back on the road, fluids are drained and handled properly, and the remaining metal is recycled. The eco-friendly end of the story.

Mistakes that cost sellers money

Letting it sit another year, stripping parts before calling, accepting the first lowball without a second look — and how to avoid each one.

How pickup & paperwork work in Florida

Straight answers about the part people worry about — and what happens to the car after it leaves your driveway.

AT PICKUP

You sign, we verify

We check the vehicle against its description, you sign the title over (or the paperwork your situation calls for), and you keep a copy of the sale record. Payment happens right there, once everything checks out.

YOUR PLATE

The plate stays with you

In Florida, a license plate belongs to the person, not the car. Pull yours at pickup — we'll remind you — and transfer or surrender it as Florida requires.

AFTER WE BUY IT

Reused, drained, recycled

Usable parts go back into service on other vehicles, fluids are drained and disposed of properly, and what's left is recycled as metal. Very little of a car we buy ends up wasted.

Sell it to us vs. repair it

Sell it as-is

  • One visit: offer, pickup, payment
  • Zero spent on repairs or towing
  • Sell it, cancel the coverage, end the bills

Repair it

  • Engine or transmission work can run into the thousands
  • One fix often reveals the next one
  • You're still insuring a car you may not trust

Sell it to us vs. private sale

Sell it to us

  • No listings, photos, or strangers at your house
  • Non-runners welcome — we bring the truck
  • One price, agreed before we arrive

Private sale

  • Weeks of messages, no-shows, and lowball offers
  • Most private buyers won't touch a car that won't start
  • The car sits — and keeps costing you — the whole time

That car isn't getting any younger.
