Selling Your Vehicle Can Be Simple

Selling a vehicle does not have to mean creating listings, answering messages, scheduling test drives, or spending your weekend meeting potential buyers.

Sell My Car SoCal gives you a more direct option.

Tell us about your vehicle. We review it. You get an offer. If you decide to sell, we pay cash and take care of the vehicle.

Here is how the process works.

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Vehicle

Start by giving us some basic information about what you want to sell.

We will want to know things such as:

  • Year
  • Make
  • Model
  • Mileage
  • Overall condition
  • Body damage, if any
  • Mechanical problems, if any
  • VIN, if available

You do not need to have every detail before contacting us.

Just be as accurate as you can about the vehicle and its condition.

Step 2: We Come to You

You do not have to spend your day driving from place to place looking for someone to buy your vehicle.

We come to customers throughout our service area.

Our team will look over the vehicle and confirm its condition.

If you prefer to come to our location instead, you can do that too.

Step 3: Review Your Offer

After we evaluate the vehicle, we provide an offer.

Then the decision is yours.

There is no requirement to purchase another vehicle from us. This is not a dealership trade in where you have to buy something else to complete the transaction.

If the offer works for you, we can move forward with the sale.

If it does not, you are not required to sell.

Step 4: Get Paid and Complete the Sale

Once you accept the offer and the vehicle sale is completed, you get paid cash.

We then take care of getting the vehicle.

If the vehicle can be driven, the process is straightforward.

If it cannot be driven and requires towing, we provide free towing for vehicles we purchase.

That means you do not have to pay a towing company just to complete the sale.

What If My Vehicle Has Problems?

Tell us.

You do not need to hide dents, warning lights, mechanical problems, accident damage, or the fact that a vehicle does not run.

We buy vehicles in many different conditions.

That includes regular used vehicles as well as:

  • High mileage vehicles
  • Older vehicles
  • Damaged vehicles
  • Vehicles with mechanical problems
  • Non running vehicles
  • Junk vehicles

Knowing the condition upfront helps us understand what you are selling.

Cars, Trucks and SUVs Are Welcome

The process is not limited to passenger cars.

We also purchase pickup trucks, work trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and other vehicles.

The information we need may vary slightly depending on the vehicle, but the basic process remains simple.

Tell us what you have and its condition so we can evaluate it.

Before We Meet

There are a few things you can do to make the process easier.

Remove your personal belongings from the vehicle.

Check the glove compartment, center console, trunk, cargo area, and underneath the seats.

Have your vehicle information and available ownership documents ready.

If there is something unusual about the vehicle or its ownership situation, tell us before we meet so we can let you know what may be needed.

You do not need to professionally detail the vehicle before asking us for an offer.

What Happens If My Car Does Not Run?

A vehicle that does not run does not have to become a complicated project.

Tell us that the vehicle is non running and explain what you know about the problem.

Also let us know where the vehicle is located and whether it can be easily accessed.

If we purchase the vehicle and towing is required, towing is free.

You Are Always in Control of the Decision

Getting an offer is exactly that.

An offer.

You decide whether you want to sell your vehicle.

Our goal is to give you a straightforward option so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.

Ready to See What We Can Offer?

Maybe you upgraded and have an extra vehicle sitting at home.

Perhaps repairs are becoming too expensive.

Or your car has been damaged or stopped running.

Or maybe you are simply ready to sell without dealing with private buyers.

Whatever brought you here, start by telling us about your vehicle.

We will take it from there.
