Rules change, so confirm details with your state agency. Here is what most sellers ask about.
In California the seller is generally responsible for a valid smog certification when selling a gas vehicle, with exceptions such as newer vehicles and some electric models. Selling a non-running or junk car to a buyer like us usually avoids that hurdle.
Sign the Certificate of Title and hand it over at pickup. If it is lost, the DMV can issue a duplicate, and in many cases we can still help you complete the sale.
After the sale, file a Notice of Release of Liability with the DMV within 5 days so you are not responsible for tickets or tolls after pickup. We can walk you through it.
Yes. We buy cars in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and surrounding cities. Pick your city above or call for a same-day offer.

Often yes. Tell us what you have and we will explain the DMV options. Many sellers with lost titles still get paid the same day.
Most sellers are paid on the spot at pickup. We offer same-day towing and same-day payment in most California cities.
Any condition: running, not running, wrecked, flood or fire damaged, high mileage or failed smog. We quote from $200 up to $35,000.
