Rusted Messes

Even if the car is a total hunk of jagged metal, we’ll give you between $50 and $200 for the pleasure of taking it off your hands. Just be sure the vehicle isn’t missing parts or pieces.

Mediocre Clunkers

Cars that are still operational but heavily used are worth about $200 to $300. The more working parts the car has, the more we’ll pay. You might even earn enough for a ticket to the Hokies game if you’re lucky.

Frequent questions we get in Virginia

Can I sell you my car or truck in Virginia if I don’t have the title?

Sorry, we would love to, but in most cases we can’t. Not many of our VA buyers are currently buying vehicles without a title. As the legal owner you’ll need to obtain a valid title before you can sell the vehicle to us, or to anyone else. Let us know if you need help with that process!

What if my title doesn’t look like the one pictured?

Virginia often changes their title documents from year to year. If you have questions about your specific title, please contact your Virginia DMV.

Do I need to turn in my license plates?

Yes, unless you are transferring the plates to a new vehicle. You can return the plates to your local DMV office.

What should I do about my auto insurance?

You will need to notify your auto insurance company that you have sold the vehicle so they can either cancel your policy if the vehicle was sold, or transfer/renew the policy on your new vehicle.

Is there anything else I need to do?

You may need to notify your local DMV that you have sold the vehicle. You can contact them with any additional questions or concerns about the transfer of your title.
