Let’s clear a few things up

Good questions.

Short answers. If yours isn’t here, call and a person picks up.

Still have a question?
(855) 331-3300

A real person picks up. No menus, no bots — and if we can’t buy your car, we’ll tell you straight.

What types of cars do you buy?

Pretty much most of them. Older cars, high-mileage cars, cars that aren’t running great (or at all) — if it didn’t pass emissions, has expired registration or needs repairs that just aren’t worth it, that’s our bread and butter. We also buy damaged and crashed cars, even total losses, as long as they can be legally sold. Not sure where yours falls? No worries — you can still get an offer in minutes.

What types of cars don’t you buy?

There are a few exceptions: leased vehicles, cars with outstanding loans or liens, abandoned vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, boats and individual car parts. Basically, we buy cars — not everything with wheels. If yours isn’t on that list, there’s a good chance we can make you an offer.

How does AutoVanish determine my offer?

We look at the details you share and price your car based on what’s actually happening in the market: make, model, year, condition and location, compared with local demand, what it’s worth for parts or recycling, and current scrap and salvage prices. It doesn’t need to be running or in perfect shape. A working battery or inflated tires help a bit; newer accessories usually don’t change the price much. No account or email required — just enter your car details and get a free estimate in minutes.

When will my car be picked up?

Usually pretty fast. Once you accept the offer, pickup can be scheduled as fast as today — or, in the worst case, the next business day. You choose the day and time, you can reschedule if something comes up, and our team coordinates everything directly with you. And yes — towing is always free.

When do I get paid?

Right at pickup. Once the car is inspected, we pay you in cash, on the spot — no delays, no follow-up payments, no “we’ll send it later.” No hidden fees or last-minute changes either: the offer you accept is exactly the cash you walk away with, as long as the car matches what you shared.

What documents do I need to sell my car?

In most cases, just proof that you own the car — usually the title. Missing the title or dealing with a special situation? No stress: depending on your state, other documents may work, and we’ll walk you through it. Some states require the title to be signed or notarized before pickup; if you’re not prepared, our pickup partner will guide you when they arrive. Just a heads up: abandoned vehicles aren’t eligible.

Do you charge any fees to sell my car?

Nope. Selling your car with AutoVanish is completely free — no listing fees, no towing fees, no hidden costs. The offer you see is exactly what you get, nothing taken out later. No surprises. No fine print.

Is AutoVanish available in my area?

Right now, AutoVanish operates across California. The good news? We’re growing fast and expanding to more states very soon. If you’re in California, you’re good to go; if you’re outside of it, hang tight — we’ll be coming your way.

What happens to my car?

Once we pick up your car, you’re pretty much all set. It may go to car dealers, salvage yards, junk yards, wholesalers or car recyclers.

That car’s had a good run
