Tell us about the car
Year, make, model, mileage, and where it sits. A VIN speeds things up but is not required to start, and the pickup address tells us which local run the car joins.
We buy Kia vehicles
Sell My Kia in San Diego County
Kia owners in San Diego sell Forte, K5, and Sorento models that have done years of daily-driver duty. We price Kias with their known issues on the table — Theta II engine history and dual-clutch behavior included — and miles carry real weight here, with examples around 100,000 miles or less getting the strongest look. Clean, well-kept cars are always the ones we want most, and any Kia that runs well can go through the form. One intake, one hand-reviewed offer guaranteed for 7 days, and free pickup anywhere in San Diego County.

What we buy — every Kia included
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
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
Kia seller questions
Do you buy a Kia that failed smog?
Yes. Failed smog is priced in from the condition answers on the form. You do not need to repair or retest your Kia before we buy it.
Can I sell a Kia with title problems?
Usually, yes. Lost titles, out-of-state titles, liens, and lien sale paperwork are all situations on our intake. Disclose yours in the form and we will explain the correct next step before scheduling.
Which Kia models do you buy?
All of them — the models listed on this page are the ones we see most in San Diego County, but any Kia that starts, drives, and has a working key can go through the form, from daily drivers to fixable project cars.
What happens on pickup day?
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same 12 condition items you submitted. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys. The tow is free anywhere in San Diego County.
