We see the details that add value
Dealers and instant-offer apps price by averages. Our wholesale team looks at your car — and pays more for the things that make it special.
Drive less than 10k miles a year?
Low-mileage vehicles command a premium in the wholesale market. We make sure that shows up in your offer.
Desirable options, colors & trims?
Premium packages, sought-after colors and top trims are worth real money — we price them in instead of ignoring them.
Accident-free, one-owner history?
A clean history is one of the strongest value drivers there is. Well-kept cars deserve well-matched offers.

Questions, answered
How long does it take to get an estimate?
Most sellers receive an emailed estimate within 24 hours of completing our 5-minute application. Need it faster? Call or text 310-750-4648.
Will my offer change after the inspection?
Your estimate is based on the details you give us. At inspection we confirm accident and damage history, ownership history, and tire and brake wear. If everything matches, so does your offer — and if your car is in better shape than expected, we’ll tell you.
Do you really come to me?
Yes. We inspect at your home or office anywhere within our service radius, or at our Palos Verdes facility. If you’re a little outside our range, we’re happy to meet at a mutual location.
How do I get paid?
Once paperwork is signed, we set up payment instantly at pickup — no waiting days for a check to clear.
I still owe money on my car. Can I sell it?
Usually, yes. Bring your lender information and we’ll walk you through the payoff so the title transfers cleanly. Any equity above the payoff goes to you.
What paperwork do I need?
Your title (or lender info if financed), current registration, a valid photo ID for everyone on the title, and all keys and fobs. See our full checklist on the How It Works page.
What kinds of vehicles do you buy?
Cars, trucks, SUVs, EVs and luxury vehicles. We especially value low-mileage, one-owner, accident-free vehicles with desirable options, colors and trims.
