HOW IT
WORKS

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CAR

Start with your license plate, VIN, or year/make/model. Our system will pre-fill what it can. Add your mileage, color, and any notes about condition or history. Upload photos — more is better, but even a handful gets the process moving.

Have a pre-1981 car with no standard VIN? No problem. Pre-1981 vehicles use shorter chassis or serial numbers. Enter what you have — our specialists have decades of experience with vintage vehicles and know how to find value regardless of the paperwork situation.

RECEIVE A REAL CASH OFFER

Our specialist team reviews your submission — photos, condition notes, market comps, and comparable sales. You receive a preliminary cash offer valid for 7 days.

This isn't a computer algorithm or a range of numbers. It's a real offer from real people who know the collector car market. We've acquired over 100,000 vehicles direct from consumers and understand what fair actually looks like.

SIGN THE CONTRACT

Once you accept your offer, all documentation is handled digitally — no printing, no notary required in most cases, no trips anywhere. We prepare the purchase agreement, bill of sale, title transfer documents, and any state-specific forms required for your vehicle.

Title situations can be complicated — estates, trusts, lost titles, out-of-state registrations, vintage vehicles without standard documentation. We've navigated all of it. Our team handles the paperwork complexity so you don't have to, and we'll tell you upfront if there's anything we need from you.

INSPECTION & PAYMENT

With the contract signed, we schedule a certified independent inspector to evaluate your vehicle at your location — at our cost. You don't need to ship the car anywhere or drive it to a shop. This protects both parties: your offer is based on a real, unbiased evaluation, and we know exactly what we're buying before payment is sent.

Once the inspection confirms what you described, we send payment the same day — you'll typically see the funds before the transporter arrives. We then coordinate free transport from your location anywhere in the continental United States. Just make sure the car is accessible; we handle the rest.

WE'LL PICK IT UP

Once documents are signed and processed, we send payment the same day. You'll see the funds in your account before the transporter arrives in most cases — or on the same day as pickup at the latest.

We coordinate free transport from your location anywhere in the continental United States. You don't need to do anything — just make sure the car is accessible for the transporter. We handle the rest.

Modifications affect offer values differently depending on the car. Factory-correct cars typically command a premium, but tasteful period-correct modifications on the right vehicle can add value. Describe what you have honestly and we'll reflect it in the offer.

We typically focus on vehicles where we can offer $10,000 or more. Below that threshold, the transaction economics don't work as well and we can't deliver the level of service we're known for. If you're not sure whether your car qualifies, submit it — the only cost is a few minutes of your time.

A clean title makes things faster, but not having one doesn't automatically disqualify you. We've handled bonded titles, lost titles, estate transfers, and vintage vehicles with non-standard documentation. Tell us your situation and we'll tell you if we can work with it.

Yes, with proper documentation. Estates, trusts, and power of attorney situations are handled regularly. Contact us and we'll walk you through what's needed for your specific situation.
