Get a real offer for your car, running or not. We tow it for free from anywhere in Connecticut, you pick the pickup time, and you are paid at pickup. Below: the problems sellers run into, and the CT DMV paperwork to have ready.
These come up again and again in seller complaints about junk car buyers. Here is what usually happens, and what you can expect from us instead.
ElsewhereThe quote was one number on the phone. The driver hooks up the car, finds "extra rust" or a "replaced converter", and offers less.
With usYour offer is based on what you tell us. If the car matches your description, the offer stands and the driver does not renegotiate. If something does not match, you can decline and we leave the car where it is, at no charge.
ElsewhereA towing or "processing" fee shows up at pickup and gets taken out of the money.
With usTowing is free and nothing is deducted. The offer you accept is the amount you are paid.
ElsewhereAn ad promises a big number, then the real quote is a fraction of it.
With usNo advertised price. You get an offer for your actual car and see it before you agree to anything.
Elsewhere"We'll mail you a check," and then it takes weeks.
With usPayment at pickup, when the car is loaded.
ElsewhereThe buyer misses the window, stops answering, or keeps rescheduling.
With usYou choose the pickup time yourself in the offer form, whenever suits you, and it is confirmed when you book.
ElsewhereThe car is gone, but a property tax bill or insurance charge keeps arriving.
With usWe tell you what to do before pickup: take the plates, cancel the registration, then the insurance. The steps are below.
As long as the car is the way you described it. No haggling in your driveway, and no fees taken out.
These are cars CashSellCar bought from Connecticut sellers, with the amount each seller was paid. Every car is different, so your offer depends on your car.

Pulling the battery or tires to sell separately usually costs you more on the car's offer than the parts bring in.
If the car runs well and passes emissions, a private sale may get you more. We are the better fit when it does not run, will not pass, or is not worth fixing.
If the car was ever financed, have the lien release ready. It is the most common reason a pickup gets delayed.
Check the glove box, trunk and under the seats, and remove toll transponders and parking stickers before the tow.
Complete and sign the reverse side and hand it over at pickup.
Use the DMV form or write your own with the buyer, seller, vehicle, VIN, price, date and your signature.
Cars more than 20 model years old are title-exempt in Connecticut. Ownership transfers with the last registration and the Supplemental Assignment of Ownership (Q-1).
Take them off before the truck leaves.
Do it with the DMV and keep the receipt. Until you do, your town can keep billing property tax on the car.
The DMV expects coverage for as long as the registration is active.

Answer a few questions about the car. You see the number before you commit.
Pick the day and time that suits you right in the offer form, and tell us about access: a driveway, a street spot, a shop or a locked lot.
The driver checks the car against your description, you sign the paperwork, and you are paid when the car is loaded.

It depends on the car: year, make and model, whether all the major parts are still on it, whether it runs, and whether you have the title. You see your exact offer before you agree to anything, and if the car matches your description, that is the amount you are paid.
If the car is more than 20 model years old, yes. It is title-exempt in Connecticut, and ownership moves with the last registration and Form Q-1. Newer cars need a title. If yours is lost, request a replacement from the DMV before pickup.
We do, when Connecticut law allows it. Cars more than 20 model years old are title-exempt in Connecticut and transfer with the last registration and Form Q-1. For newer cars, request a replacement title from the DMV first, and tell us about it when you ask for an offer.
Yes, but the lender has to release the lien before ownership can transfer. Tell us about the loan when you ask for an offer, and have the payoff or lien release ready before pickup.
Not if the car is the way you described it. The driver only checks that the car matches. If it does not, you can decline and we leave it, at no charge.
At pickup, when the car is loaded onto the truck.
Yes. Nothing is taken out of your offer for the tow, whether the car runs or not.
Yes. You schedule the pickup yourself in the offer form, on the day and time that suits you.
Take them off before the tow, then cancel the registration with the DMV. Keep the receipt in case your town sends a property tax bill.
