The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days, when the car matches its description. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, any adjustment is shown with photo evidence before you decide.

What a cash offer means here

One clear number: your offer comes from your car's reported condition — the same 12 items our buyer verifies at pickup. No price games after the fact. Payment happens at pickup, after the title, identity, and vehicle are verified. You sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys.

San Diego Sell My Car — recommended

One simple form, usable-car value, fixable issues welcome, free county-wide pickup, and paperwork complications handled with you. Offer guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description.

Dealership trade-in

Fast, but priced at trade-in value and built for retail-ready cars. A failed smog check, expired tags, or a title problem usually ends the conversation.

Private sale

You set the asking price — and you get days to weeks of messages, no-shows, and lowballs, with the smog certificate and all the paperwork on you.

What we buy in San Diego County

Most 2010-and-newer cars

Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.

Fixable issues welcome

Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.

Trucks of any age

Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.

Japanese vehicles of any age

Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.

Where the line is

We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:

  • No working key
  • Blown engine
  • Will not start or drive
  • Major structural damage
  • Heavily stripped
  • Trash-filled or severely neglected

Cash-for-cars questions

What cars do you buy?

We prioritize trucks of any age, Japanese vehicles of any age, and most 2010-and-newer cars. We also consider smog failures, expired registration, complicated paperwork, high mileage, and fixable issues. Vehicles without a working key, that will not start and drive, or that have major structural damage are not a fit.

What happens on pickup day?

Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, remove your belongings, and hand over the keys. We then arrange the tow at no charge within San Diego County.

What vehicles are a good fit?

We prioritize trucks of any age, Japanese vehicles of any age, most 2010-and-newer cars, and vehicles with fixable issues, smog failures, expired registration, or complicated paperwork. Vehicles must have a working key and be able to start and drive.
