Your Old Car Is Worth More Than You Think
Take a look at the car sitting outside your window. Maybe the engine quit on you. Maybe it has more dents than you can count. Maybe it works fine but you just bought a new one and cannot be bothered to list it. Either way it is costing you space and attention every single day.
We would like to take it off your hands and put cash in them. Sell My Car For Cash buys cars and trucks in all 50 states. We send a driver to you and the tow costs you nothing.
Who Are We and What Do We Do?
We are a car buying company with an office in Davenport Florida. Our owner Rob built the business around one simple promise. If you have a car to sell we will make it easy. We buy directly so no auction house or dealer sits between you and your money.
People call us from small towns and big cities. Some sell a car that runs well. Others sell a wreck that has not moved in years. We treat both calls the same way. We listen and ask a few questions and give a fair offer.
From First Call to Cash in Hand
Here is what you can expect when you work with us.
You reach out. Use the form on our site or pick up the phone. Tell us the year and make and model. Tell us if it starts. Mention any damage or missing parts.
We send an offer. It is based on what you told us. There is nothing to sign and nothing to pay. You can compare it with other offers or sleep on it.
You choose the day. If the price feels right we agree on a time and place. Your driveway or your office parking lot or a repair shop all work.
Our driver arrives. He looks over the car to make sure it matches your description. You sign the transfer papers and he hands you the cash. Then he loads the car and leaves.
You never have to leave your house if you do not want to.
What Kinds of Vehicles Are We Looking For?
We buy sedans and coupes and hatchbacks. We buy pickups and SUVs and minivans. We buy cars that are twenty years old and cars that are two years old. We buy vehicles that start on the first try and ones that need a jump and ones that will not turn over at all.
Damage does not scare us either. Fender benders and major collisions and flood water and fire are all things we have seen. If your car has a failed engine or a broken transmission we still want to hear about it.
Have a look at our pages on junk cars and damaged vehicles if you want more detail.
The Title Problem and How to Handle It
Many people stop right here. They cannot find the title so they assume nobody will buy the car. That is not always true.
Titles go missing all the time. They get lost in a move or thrown out by accident or never passed down from a relative. Each state has a different fix. Some let you prove ownership with other documents. Some want you to order a copy first.
Tell us your state when you contact us. We will walk you through what is needed in plain language before the driver ever shows up. Our guide on selling a car without a title has more.
We Cover the Whole Country
When we say all 50 states we mean it. Our team has handled pickups from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific and from the Gulf to the Canadian border. Some places have a driver nearby so the pickup can happen quickly. Others need more planning and we tell you that upfront.

Reasons People Let Their Cars Go
We have heard just about every story. A few come up again and again.
A car that costs more to fix than it is worth is the big one. After that comes the car stuck in a garage that nobody wants to deal with. Then there are people who need money fast for rent or a medical bill or a new car. Some are moving across the country and cannot take the old car along. Others are handling a family member’s estate and have a vehicle nobody will drive.
None of these reasons are strange. If yours is on the list you are in good company.
What Sets Us Apart?
- You do not have to drive the car anywhere. We come to it.
- Towing is on us and so is the cost of the offer.
- The number you see is the number you get paid. We do not slip in fees at the door.
- Cash changes hands when we pick up the vehicle.
- A real person answers the phone and knows what you are talking about.
- You can walk away at any point without a fee.
Tips to Get the Best Offer
Small steps can pay off.
First be straight about the condition. A fair offer depends on honest details. If you leave out a big problem the price may change when we see the car.
Second mention the good parts. New tires or alloy wheels or a fresh battery can help your price. Tell us about them when you ask.
Third empty the car. Look in the glove box and the trunk and under the seats. Once the car is on the truck getting a forgotten item back is hard.
Fourth line up your documents. A photo ID and your title or registration should be in one place before the driver arrives.
Where Does the Car End Up?
Most vehicles we pick up are headed for recycling. Technicians drain the oil and fuel and coolant so none of it spills into the ground. Parts in good shape can be reused. What is left gets shredded and the steel is melted into new metal. Making steel this way uses much less energy than digging up fresh ore.
So selling your old car is good for your wallet and also for the environment.
FAQs
How do I get started?
The easiest way is the online form. You can also call us. Tell us the year and make and model of your car and describe its condition. The more details you share the closer our offer will be to the final price.
How is the price decided?
We look at the make and model and age and condition. We also look at whether the parts are worth keeping and what scrap metal is paying. Because these things change from car to car and week to week there is no flat rate. Asking for an offer is free so it costs nothing to find out.
Is there a charge for pickup?
No. Pickup is free in every state we serve. We also do not charge for the offer. What you see is what you get paid.
Are you only in Florida?
No. Our office is in Davenport but we buy in all 50 states.
Will you take a car that will not start?
Yes. We bring the right equipment to load it. You do not have to push it or tow it yourself.
What should I bring when the driver comes?
Your photo ID is a must. Bring the title or registration if you have them. If you do not please tell us ahead of time so we can explain what your state accepts.
Do I need to be home for pickup?
In most cases yes. You need to sign the papers and receive payment. If that is a problem call us and we will see what we can do.
