Pricing & offers

How is my offer calculated?

Your vehicle's year, make, model, trim, mileage, condition, and title status are priced against current demand from a national buying network — parts value, scrap value, and resale demand all feed the number. That's why an honest description matters: the offer is built from your answers.

Will I get more if my car still runs and drives?

Usually, yes — a running, drivable car typically earns meaningfully more than the same car dead on the driveway, because it has resale paths a non-runner doesn't. Answer the "does it start / does it drive" questions accurately and the offer reflects the best category your car qualifies for.

Is the offer based on weight, parts, or condition?

All three, depending on the car. A newer or repairable vehicle prices on resale and parts demand; an end-of-life vehicle prices closer to its material and component value. You don't have to know which bucket yours falls in — the offer engine works that out.

Are there hidden fees? Is towing really free?

No fees, and yes — towing is free everywhere in our service area and is never subtracted from your offer. A quote that shrinks by a "towing fee" or "processing fee" at pickup is the industry habit we built this business to avoid.

Should I get multiple quotes before selling?

Honestly? Sure — quotes are free and it's your money. We're confident because our offers come from big-network pricing rather than one local yard's appetite. Just compare final numbers: ask every buyer whether towing and fees come out of theirs.

How long is my offer good for?

Offers stay valid for several days, so you don't have to decide on the phone. Vehicle markets move, so an offer from months ago may reprice — but you'll always see the current number before you commit.

Does the catalytic converter matter?

Yes — it's one of the most valuable components on many cars, so a missing converter lowers the offer. Tell us either way; an accurate answer keeps the number firm at pickup.

Title & paperwork (Nevada)

Can I sell my car without a title in Nevada?

Not directly — Nevada requires a title to transfer ownership — but a missing title is usually fixable. The Nevada DMV issues duplicate titles (form VP 012), and some older vehicles have alternate paths. Pick "I don't have the title" in our form and we'll tell you exactly what your situation needs.

How do I get a duplicate title in Nevada?

You apply to the Nevada DMV with form VP 012 (Application for Duplicate Title) plus a small fee — check current details at dmvnv.com. If the title was lost, stolen, or damaged, this is the standard fix, and it's usually simpler than sellers expect.

What paperwork do I need to sell my car?

The essentials: the vehicle title (signed at pickup), a government-issued ID that matches it, and a lien release if the title ever had a loan on it. Our driver walks you through where to sign — signing in the wrong spot is a real (and annoying) thing.

Both names are on the title — do we both need to sign?

In Nevada it depends on the word between the names: "AND" means both owners must sign, "OR" means either one can sign alone. Check which word your title uses before pickup day so the right people are there.

Can I sell a car that still has a loan on it?

A lien has to be satisfied before ownership can transfer, so it takes an extra step — typically the payoff comes out of the sale, or you clear it with the lender first. Select "loan/lien" in the form and we'll walk through your case.

Can I sell a car that belonged to a deceased family member?

Often yes, with the right documents — depending on the estate, that can involve the death certificate and DMV affidavit forms. It's a common situation and usually solvable; tell us upfront and we'll point you at the exact requirements.

What do I do with my license plates?

In Nevada, plates belong to you, not the car. Take them off before the truck leaves, then surrender them to the DMV or transfer them to another vehicle — that's also how you cleanly end your registration.

Do I need to cancel my registration and insurance?

Yes — after the sale, cancel your registration with the Nevada DMV (MyDMV online makes this quick) and then your insurance. Doing it in that order gives you proof the vehicle is out of your name first.

Pickup & payment

How fast can you pick up my car?

Often within a day or two of accepting, depending on where the car is and scheduling. You pick the window — we don't do "sometime between 8 and 6."

Do I need to be there at pickup?

Someone authorized to sign the title and hand over the keys needs to be there — usually that's you, but it can be another titled owner. The visit itself typically takes only a few minutes.

How do I get paid — cash, check, or transfer?

Payment is handed over at pickup, at the same moment as the keys and signed title. What you never have to do: release the car and wait for a check in the mail, or accept a "we'll pay you after inspection at our yard."

Can you pick up from an apartment, storage lot, or work?

Yes — anywhere the truck can legally and physically access the car. Gate codes, storage-office hours, or tricky parking? Mention it when scheduling and the driver comes prepared.

The car is in someone else's name — can I still schedule?

The titled owner has to sign the title over, so the sale needs them (or the proper legal paperwork if you're acting on their behalf). We can't buy a car from someone who doesn't own it — that protects you as much as us.

Vehicle condition

Do you buy cars that don't start or drive?

Yes — non-runners are a core part of what we buy. Flat tires, dead battery, blown engine, transmission gone: describe it accurately and the offer prices it correctly the first time.

Do you buy wrecked or damaged cars?

Yes, including accident damage and cars an insurer called a total loss (with the appropriate salvage title disclosed). Damage lowers the number; it rarely makes a car unsellable.

What about flood or fire damage?

Tell us upfront — flood and fire history changes what a vehicle can legally and practically become, so it changes the offer path. Hiding it doesn't work; it just breaks the deal at pickup.

Do you buy old or high-mileage cars?

All the time. Age and mileage lower the price — they almost never zero it. A 20-year-old commuter with 200k miles still has real value in parts and materials.

Missing parts — wheels, converter, battery?

Usually still sellable. Missing wheels change how we load it, and a missing catalytic converter changes the price, so the form asks about both. Answer accurately and pickup goes smoothly.

Trust & safety

How do I know this isn't a scam?

Judge the mechanics, not the marketing: you never pay anything, payment happens before the car leaves your possession, and the offer is in writing. Walk away instantly from any buyer who asks for a "processing fee," wants the title mailed ahead, or pays by odd methods.

Why is your offer different from other quotes I got?

Different buyers monetize cars differently — a yard prices on scrap, a dealer on resale, a network on all its channels. Bigger networks usually support stronger offers, but the honest answer is: compare the final, all-in numbers and pick the best one.

What happens to my personal information?

It goes to us for this sale — it isn't sold to a list of dealers, and you won't get carpet-bombed with calls. The contact details exist so we can deliver your offer and coordinate pickup, full stop.

Should I clean out the car before pickup?

Yes — check the glovebox, trunk, under seats, and door pockets, and pull anything with your personal information. Once the truck leaves, retrieving forgotten items is hard. And take the plates: in Nevada they're yours.
