Check the condition boxes

The F-150 generations we buy
The twelfth generation ran from 2009 to 2014, the thirteenth from 2015 to 2020 introduced an aluminum-alloy body, and the fourteenth generation arrived for 2021. Engine choices have included V6, EcoBoost turbo V6, V8, diesel, and, in later years, a hybrid and a full-electric Lightning variant.
San Diego F-150s range from two-wheel-drive work trucks to four-wheel-drive SuperCrew models, with EcoBoost V6 and 5.0-litre V8 engines both common. Cab and bed configurations vary widely, from Regular Cab to SuperCrew.
Common F-150 problems we still buy
Cam phaser rattle
Some 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 trucks develop a cold-start rattle from worn cam phasers. The repair involves the timing system and can be expensive, prompting some sales.
Timing chain stretch
Timing chain stretch and related faults are documented on some EcoBoost V6 trucks, especially at higher mileage. Owners may sell rather than pay for timing work.
Exhaust manifold warping
Exhaust manifold warping and broken studs are common on V8 and EcoBoost trucks, causing ticking and exhaust leaks. The repair is labor-intensive on a truck engine.
Ten-speed transmission harsh shifting
Some trucks with the ten-speed automatic shift harshly, hesitate, or slip as they age. Transmission concerns are a frequent reason owners sell.
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.
What we buy — your F-150 included
Fixable issues welcome
Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
Most 2010-and-newer cars

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
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
F-150 seller questions
My F-150 has cam phaser rattle. Will you still buy it?
In most cases, yes — that is a known F-150 issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
What happens on pickup day?
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your F-150. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in San Diego County.
Can I sell a F-150 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.
Do you buy a F-150 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.
