Will you buy a car I don't want anymore even if it runs?

Yes. We'll quote it like any other car. If it runs well, we'll also tell you if a private sale would likely get you more.

Can I sell my late parent's car?

Yes, if you're the executor. Bring the registration and papers showing you can act for the estate, such as the will naming you or a grant of probate.

The car isn't in my name. Can I still sell it?

Only the registered owner can sell it, so they need to sign. Call us first if the names don't match and we'll go over the options.

Does the car need insurance to be sold?

No. Insurance is needed to drive it, not to sell it. We tow it away, so lapsed insurance doesn't stop the sale.

What if I lost the keys?

That's fine. Keys aren't part of the transfer. The signed registration and matching photo ID are what we need.

How do I know what my unwanted car is worth to you?

Send the year, make, model, condition and location. We'll call back with a number before anyone books a truck.

Is it worth selling privately?

If the car runs well and has no big problems, a private sale often pays more than we can. We'll tell you if we think so.

We're the better fit when the car needs work nobody wants to pay for, or when you just want it gone without showing it to strangers.

A family member's car

A parent's car, a car left by someone who moved away, or one that belonged to someone who passed away. The registered owner signs it over, or the executor does for an estate.

Executors bring the paperwork that shows their authority, such as the will naming them or a grant of probate.

Cars registered to someone else

We can only buy a car from the person on the registration. If a friend or ex left it with you, they still need to sign.

Call before pickup if the names don't match, so we can work out what's needed.

Lapsed insurance

A car with no insurance can't be driven or parked on most streets, but it can still be sold. We tow it, so the insurance doesn't need to be active.

Keep it off the street until pickup if you can.

Liens and loans

A lender's lien stays with the car until the loan is paid. A VIN search at BC's Personal Property Registry shows it.

We can buy the car once the loan is paid out or the lender agrees in writing.

What to leave in the car

Nothing. Empty the glovebox, the trunk and the door pockets, and take out anything with your name on it.

Leave the keys if you have them. No keys is fine too.
