Cash for Old Cars

Is your aging car causing more problems than it solves? We buy vehicles with issues like engine failures, transmission troubles, expired tabs, or emissions test failures. Seattle's strict environmental standards can be tough on older vehicles—if yours is struggling to keep up, we'll take it off your hands.

Cash for Scrap Cars

Has your car reached the end of its useful life? Your vehicle still retains value through its metal content and catalytic converter, even when it's no longer roadworthy. We focus on offering fair cash for junk cars based on their scrap and salvage potential.

Cash for Used Cars

We extend beyond just purchasing junk cars—we also buy used vehicles that remain drivable or have resale potential in the Seattle market.


Even if your vehicle is missing its title or has documentation issues, there's still a strong possibility our Seattle cash for cars service can purchase it under Washington State DOL regulations. Contact us at 1-855-437-9728 to discuss your specific situation.
