Here is what other cash for cars customers have said:

• "It hasn't been started in six months. The battery is dead. Last time I went to drive it it started but wasn't running right. Sounded as if it was missing a cylinder or the timing was off. It's one of two older vehicles that I'm ready to just be done with. Time to up grade. If this truck was 4WD I'd rebuild it and keep it. "

• "The car over-heated and as a result the head gasket is now damaged. Water and oil inter-mix. The title is at my parents' house, but they can most likely mail it to me."

• "I just bought this car and within eight hours after buying the vehicle the engine over heated and the car shut off on me while driving, and now it won't start again."

• "A tree branch fell on the roof and dented the top of the van. The van also has a lot of surface rust. The rear seats have been removed. The front windshield glass is cracked due to the tree branch damage. Side window behind driver seat is broken out and missing. A new alternator was installed a month before the tree damage. "

• "The car overheats and I don't know why. I don't really have the money to fix it. I need to get rid of it and buy another car. I have a title loan out on the car from TitleMax."

• "This truck was a project of my friends. He never got the title and doesn't want it anymore. I am tired of it being in my yard. There is no bed, seats, carpet, windows, or hood and the motor was rebuilt but never started. "
