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 we buy — your Trax included

Japanese vehicles of any age — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.

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

Most 2010-and-newer cars — Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.

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

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

The Trax generations we buy

The first-generation Trax reached the United States for 2015 with a 1.4-liter turbo engine, received a facelift for 2017, and was discontinued after 2022. An all-new, larger second-generation Trax arrived for 2024 with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive only.

First-generation Trax models offer front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, while the 2024 redesign is front-wheel drive only. Its compact size made it a popular first car and delivery vehicle around San Diego, so mileage and service history vary widely.

How selling your Trax works here

Start with the basics

Two minutes of details: what the car is, how many miles it shows, and where in San Diego County it is parked. Title situation included — complicated paperwork is okay.

Check the condition boxes

The 12-point condition list is the whole pricing basis. Report a failed smog, a missing catalytic converter, or a dead battery up front and it is priced in, not discovered later.

Decide on your schedule

Your offer holds for 7 days. Pick a pickup window that suits you, sign the transfer paperwork when we arrive, and get paid at pickup.

Common Trax problems we still buy

Turbocharger failure and underboost codes

The first-generation 1.4-liter turbo engine is documented for turbocharger wear and failure, often showing up as power loss and an underboost code. Because the turbo and related plumbing are replaced together, owners often sell rather than pay for the work.

Coolant leaks from thermostat and water outlet

Plastic thermostat housings, water outlets, and coolant fittings on the 1.4-liter engine commonly crack and leak with heat cycles. Repeated coolant loss risks overheating, and sellers frequently move on instead of chasing another leak.

Valve cover and PCV diaphragm failure

The integrated PCV diaphragm in the valve cover can rupture, causing rough idle, whistling, oil leaks, and check-engine lights, and the fix is a complete valve cover. On an inexpensive crossover, that bill often prompts a sale rather than a repair.

Air conditioning compressor failure

Trax A/C compressors are a recurring failure point, leaving weak or no cooling as the system ages. San Diego owners who rely on air conditioning daily often sell rather than fund a compressor and system service.

Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.

Trax seller questions

Can I sell a Trax with a lien or a lost title?

Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.

What Trax years do you buy?

We buy Chevrolet Trax vehicles across the 2015–2024 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Trax that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.

How much is my Trax worth?

It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.

Do you buy a Trax that failed smog?

Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
