Cash offers for junk cars in Florida typically range from $100 to $15,000+. Most sellers receive between $200 and $1,500 depending on the vehicle. Factors that impact your offer include:

• Year, make, and model
• Mileage and overall condition
• Whether the car starts and runs
• Extent of rust, flood, hurricane, or accident damage
• Current Florida scrap metal and used parts market prices
• Your city or county within Florida

Your offer is 100% guaranteed as long as the vehicle details you provided are accurate. The price we quote is the price you get paid at pickup — we never lowball you at the last minute the way some scrap yards do.

An offer is only adjusted if the actual condition of the vehicle is significantly different from what was described (for example, if a car is described as "minor damage" but turns out to have a missing engine).

Florida's climate — salt air, extreme humidity, UV exposure, and hurricane flooding — does affect a vehicle's condition over time, which can reduce the offer compared to a well-maintained car. However, we buy cars in all these conditions and always make a fair market offer.

More importantly: every month you wait, your car loses more value. Florida's climate continues to deteriorate parked or unused vehicles. Selling sooner maximizes your payout.

Most Florida sellers are paid by cash or check on the day of pickup. Checks are from a reputable issuer and can be cashed the same day at most Florida banks or check-cashing locations across the state.

Payment is made at the moment the vehicle is loaded — never after. You will not leave the transaction without being paid.

In most cases, yes. Here's why Florida sellers prefer CashSellCar over local junkyards:

• Better offers — junkyards typically offer scrap-only prices; we factor in parts and resale value
• Free towing — most junkyards require you to bring the car to them
• Statewide service — we come to you anywhere in Florida, not just local areas
• Instant online offers — no need to visit a yard, haggle in person, or wait days for a quote
• Zero fees — no tow fees, title fees, or hidden charges

In most cases yes — a Florida certificate of title is required to legally transfer ownership. The title must be in your name, match your government-issued ID, and be free of active liens (or the lienholder must sign off).

If you've lost your title, you can apply for a duplicate title through FLHSMV (Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles). The process typically takes a few days and costs around $75. We can guide you through this process — just call us.

Florida law requires sellers to file a Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) within 30 days of selling a vehicle. This legally removes you from liability for any future incidents — tolls, parking tickets, accidents, or violations — that occur after you've sold the car.

You can file online at the FLHSMV website or in person at any Florida tax collector's office. CashSellCar will walk you through this step so you're fully protected.

Yes, but the lienholder (bank or finance company) must sign off before the title can transfer. If you still owe money, the loan payoff must be settled at or before the sale. If the car's cash value exceeds what you owe, you'll receive the difference. Contact us and we'll help you work through the math.

Yes. CashSellCar buys vehicles with salvage, rebuilt, or branded titles throughout Florida. A salvage title does affect the offer value, but we will always make you a fair cash offer. Just disclose the title type when requesting your offer so we can quote it accurately.

Yes — once the title is transferred, contact your insurer to cancel or reassign the policy. Florida requires continuous insurance on registered vehicles, so once ownership transfers, coverage responsibility shifts to the new owner.

You should also remove your license plates before the car is picked up and return them to your local Florida tax collector's office to avoid any future registration fees on a car you no longer own.

100% free towing — anywhere in Florida. No distance fees, no fuel surcharges, no rural penalties. Whether you're in downtown Miami, a beachside community on the Gulf Coast, or a small town in the Panhandle — we tow for free. This is not a limited-time offer; it's always free for every Florida seller.

No. Our tow trucks are fully equipped to retrieve non-running, non-driveable vehicles. Flat tires, dead battery, missing wheels, seized engine — none of that is a problem. We pick up from driveways, garages, backyards, storage lots, and roadside locations all across Florida.

The registered owner (or authorized representative with a signed power of attorney) must be present at pickup with:

• Signed Florida vehicle title
• Government-issued photo ID (Florida driver's license or state ID)
• Vehicle keys — if available (not required if the car is non-running)

Also: remove all personal belongings from the car before pickup, and remove your license plates — you'll need to return them to the Florida tax collector's office.

The entire pickup process takes 15–30 minutes from arrival to payment.

We always try to put Florida cars back to use. Depending on condition:

• Repairable vehicles are fixed and resold, putting more reliable cars on Florida roads
• Partially damaged vehicles are parted out — usable components sold as affordable used parts
• Severely damaged vehicles are recycled responsibly — scrap metal processed in an eco-friendly way

Florida's environment benefits from proper vehicle disposal. Nothing is wasted.

Yes. Hurricane and flood damage is one of the most common reasons Florida residents sell their cars to us. We buy flood-totaled vehicles, storm-damaged cars, and insurance total losses throughout Florida — even if the car has been declared a complete write-off.

Be honest about the flood damage extent when requesting your offer to ensure the quote is accurate and there are no surprises at pickup.

Yes. Salt air corrosion is extremely common in Florida's coastal communities — from Miami Beach to Pensacola. We buy heavily rusted vehicles including those with frame rust, undercarriage rot, and corroded brake lines. Rust affects the offer value, but we always make a fair price based on the vehicle's actual current condition.

Absolutely. Non-running cars are among the most common vehicles we buy in Florida. Dead battery, blown engine, seized transmission, locked up brakes — we take them all. No repairs needed. No diagnostic needed. Just describe the car's condition when you request your offer and we'll make it work.

Yes. We buy accident-damaged vehicles statewide — cars with deployed airbags, bent or broken frames, major body damage, or those totaled by an insurance company. Even a vehicle with severe accident damage still contains valuable scrap metal and usable parts that we can put to use.

Very common in Florida — and not a problem. Long-sitting vehicles are our specialty. Our tow trucks handle cars in overgrown yards, unpaved driveways, tight garages, and outdoor storage lots. Florida's heat and humidity break down tires, seals, and fluids over time, but none of that stops us from picking up your vehicle and paying you cash.

Yes — high mileage and old age are never a disqualifier. We buy vehicles with 200,000, 300,000+ miles and cars that are 20+ years old throughout Florida. Even a 1990s vehicle with unknown mileage has scrap and parts value. Get a free offer to see exactly what your old Florida car is worth today.
