Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s everything you need to know about selling your car to Mobile Car Buyer.

What types of cars do you buy?

We buy virtually any vehicle—cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and more. This includes all makes, models, and years. We purchase vehicles in any condition: running, non-running, damaged, salvage title, high mileage, or pristine. If it has wheels, we’re interested!

Yes, we can purchase financed vehicles. We’ll work with your lender to pay off the remaining balance. If you have positive equity (your car is worth more than you owe), you’ll receive the difference. For leased vehicles, the process depends on your lease terms—contact us and we’ll help figure out your options.
Absolutely. There’s no cost to get a quote from us, and there’s never any obligation to sell. We provide honest assessments with no hidden fees, pressure tactics, or strings attached.
Very fast! Getting a quote typically takes just a few minutes over the phone or through our online form. If you decide to sell, we can often complete the entire transaction—including coming to you, inspecting the vehicle, handling paperwork, and paying you—in under an hour. Same-day service is frequently available.
The main document you’ll need is your vehicle title. If you’ve lost it, don’t worry—we can help you navigate getting a replacement or work with you on other solutions depending on your state. You’ll also want a valid ID. For financed vehicles, we’ll coordinate with your lender for any additional requirements.
No problem! We buy cars with all kinds of mechanical issues—engine problems, transmission issues, electrical problems, you name it. Be upfront about any issues when you contact us so we can provide an accurate quote. We’ve seen it all and there’s no judgment.
Yes! That’s our specialty. We travel to your location anywhere in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut (with some exceptions near the PA border). Whether you’re at home, at work, or anywhere else convenient, we’ll meet you there.
None whatsoever. Our quotes are completely no-obligation. If you decide the offer isn’t right for you, simply decline—no hard feelings. Many people get quotes from us while exploring their options, and that’s perfectly fine.
Our offers are based on current market conditions, your vehicle’s make, model, year, mileage, and condition. We use real market data to ensure our offers are competitive and fair. What we quote over the phone is typically what you’ll receive, assuming the vehicle matches the description provided.
We offer several payment options including cash, certified check, or direct bank transfer. Payment is made on the spot once we complete the inspection and paperwork. You’ll never have to wait to receive your money.
We serve all of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The only exceptions are some areas of Pennsylvania, except for border regions close to NY/NJ. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, just ask—we’re happy to let you know.
The vehicle typically needs to be in your name to sell it. If it’s in a family member’s name, they can either transfer it to you first, or be present at the sale to sign the title. For estate situations or other special circumstances, contact us and we’ll work through the details with you.
