How It Works

Selling your car with Cash For Cars takes four simple steps. The whole process is free, and you can have an offer within one business day.

Step 1

Fill Out the Form

Enter your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, and condition. Add your contact info so the dealer can reach you. The form takes about two minutes.

You can also start by entering your VIN for automatic vehicle identification.

Step 2

Get Matched with a Dealer

Cash For Cars reviews your submission and matches you with a local dealer from our network. The dealer is selected based on your vehicle type and location.

You are matched with one dealer — you won't be spammed by multiple buyers.

Step 3

Receive a Cash Offer

The dealer contacts you, typically within one business day, with a cash offer for your vehicle. You can ask questions and negotiate.

There is no obligation. If the offer doesn't work for you, decline and walk away.

Step 4

Get Paid

If you accept the offer, the dealer arranges pickup or you drop off the vehicle. You receive cash or a check on the spot.

The dealer handles most of the paperwork. You'll need your title and a valid ID.

What Do I Need to Sell My Car?

  • Vehicle title

    This proves ownership. If you've lost your title, the dealer can often help you get a replacement.

  • Valid photo ID

    A driver's license or state-issued ID is required to verify your identity.

  • Vehicle keys

    If your car runs, you'll hand over the keys at pickup. If it doesn't run, the dealer can still buy it.

What Vehicles Can I Sell?

Cash For Cars accepts all types of vehicles in any condition:

Cars (sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, wagons)
Trucks (pickups, work trucks)
SUVs and crossovers
Vans and minivans
High-mileage vehicles
Vehicles that don't run
Vehicles with body damage
Vehicles with salvage titles

What Happens After I Accept an Offer?

Once you accept the dealer's offer, they will schedule a time to pick up the vehicle or arrange for you to drop it off. You sign over the title, hand over the keys, and receive your payment — usually cash or a certified check.

The dealer handles the title transfer and registration paperwork. The entire process from form submission to getting paid can be as fast as a few days.
