Plenty of people assume an old clunker is worth next to nothing — dead engine, dented panels, or parked so long the tires have gone flat. Here's the truth: we'll take it in whatever shape it's in, and what we offer tends to surprise people in the best way. Call 800-219-4551 and we'll tell you what your car is really worth.
Anyone can post an ad promising to buy your car. Plenty will dangle a tempting offer, then vanish once they've seen it — or quietly shave the price the moment they're standing in your driveway. That's not how we work.
We service every part of Lafayette, including:
From your first phone call to cash in your pocket, it's just three steps — no detours, no surprise charges.

Say yes and pick a time that works for you — often same-day, or within 24 to 48 hours. We come out to wherever the car sits in Lafayette: your place, your job, anywhere. You stay put.
Our driver shows up with the paperwork, puts payment in your hands, and then tows the car away. Start to finish in well under half an hour.
The price we quote is the price you get. As long as your car matches what you described, nothing changes at pickup.

Selling a car in California takes a few forms, and our driver brings what's needed and walks you through it. The car does need a clear title in your name — no active loans or liens.
Every car we buy could be potentially resold at auction, or used for parts, or recycled at a licensed California yard. Nothing gets dumped or left behind.
Every car we look at in Lafayette falls into one of a few buckets below — and every one of them gets a real cash offer.
Starts, drives, and still has life left in it. These usually get our strongest offers since less work is needed before resale.
Rusted through, stripped, or simply too far gone to drive again. We still buy these and pay based on weight and scrap value.
Carries a salvage title or was written off by insurance after an accident. We buy these with or without paperwork in hand.
Blown engine, seized motor, slipping gears, or stuck in park — mechanical failures like these don't change whether we'll buy it, just the number.
Lost it or never had it? Missing paperwork slows things down a little, but it rarely stops a sale. Note: we're not able to buy cars with an active loan still on them.
No surprise deductions when our driver shows up. The number we give you over the phone or online is the number you get paid.
There's no towing fee folded into the offer and no fee taken out after. Pickup and tow are always free in Lafayette.
Running, wrecked, missing parts, or sitting on a salvage title — we evaluate every car in Lafayette on its own, not by a blanket rule.
You get paid on the spot at pickup, before the car ever leaves your driveway.
Selling a car in Lafayette means signing the title over the right way. Title rules are set at the state level, so here's exactly what California asks of you — and remember, when you sell to us, our driver brings the paperwork and walks you through every step at pickup.
In California, sign the front of the title on line 1A as the registered owner; a second registered owner signs on line 1B. Then complete the odometer and sale-price lines.
No — notarization is not required.
Keep your plates — they stay with you and can transfer to your next car.
No problem — file an Application for Duplicate Title (REG 227) with the CA DMV.
No title in hand? We regularly buy cars without titles in California — have your ID and registration handy.
Good to know: California requires a smog certification on most sales, though many older and non-running cars are exempt.

Lafayette, a city in Contra Costa County, California, is home to 25,391 residents as of 2020. The city bears the name of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French military officer who played a key role in the American Revolutionary War.
Before European settlement, Lafayette and its surroundings were inhabited by the Saclan tribe of the indigenous Bay Miwok, with Ohlone peoples also living along Lafayette Creek. In the late eighteenth century, contact with Spanish missionaries arrived, leading eventually to conflict and the subjugation of native populations, including a battle on present-day Lafayette soil in 1797.
The area's recorded American settlement began in 1846 when Elam Brown arrived from Missouri and purchased Rancho Acalanes in 1848. Brown's initial group of eighteen settlers grew steadily, expanding to seventy-six residents by 1852. He founded a mill in 1853, spurring further development. Early residents like Milo J. Hough built a hotel in 1853 and served as postmaster of the short-lived Acelanus post office.
Education took root early, with a one-room schoolhouse opening in 1852 under teacher Benjamin Shreve. The community's formal identity crystallized on March 2, 1857, when the LaFayette post office was established, with Shreve as its first permanent postmaster. Before the post office, the area had been informally called Dog Town, Brown's Corner, and Brown's Mill. In the early 1860s, Lafayette briefly hosted a Pony Express station. The city transformed from an agricultural village into a commuter town by the mid-twentieth century and was officially incorporated in 1968.
