What we see in the Detroit market
Detroit has the deepest domestic-vehicle concentration in the country and a large supply of employee-lease cars, which come off cycle at low mileage in excellent condition. It is also hard salt country, so the same market produces both the best-preserved and the most corroded vehicles we see. Which one you have is not a judgement call from a photo — it is an inspection.
Pickup in Detroit
We collect across metro Detroit and the surrounding counties, including cars that have not run in years.
How it works in Detroit
Tell us about the car. Year, make, model, mileage and condition — or just the VIN, which fills in most of it. About two minutes.
Get a real number. Not a range and not a "starting from" figure. If anything about the car would change it, we would rather ask you now than at your door.
We come to you and you get paid. Free pickup, paperwork done on the spot, payment on collection. If the car does not run, we tow it at no charge.
Paperwork in Michigan
Your plates
Michigan plates belong to you and come off the car. They can move to a replacement vehicle, and Michigan requires you to maintain no-fault insurance while a plate is registered in your name — so take them with you.
The title
Sign the title over with the odometer disclosure. Michigan titles must be signed by every person listed as an owner, which trips up cars titled to two people who are no longer in touch.
This is general orientation, not legal advice, and state requirements change. Confirm the current rules with the
Michigan SOS before you complete a sale.
We prepare the transfer paperwork with you at pickup either way.
Common questions
Do you actually come to Detroit?
Yes. We collect across metro Detroit and the surrounding counties, including cars that have not run in years. Pickup is free and it does not come out of your offer.
How fast can I sell my car in Detroit?
Most sellers go from first quote to payment inside a week, and closer-in pickups are frequently same-day or next-day. The part that takes longest is almost never us — it is a missing title or an outstanding loan payoff, which is why we ask about both up front.
What do I need to bring?
The title, a photo ID matching the name on it, the registration if you have it, and both sets of keys if they exist. If there is a loan on the car, we need the lender and the account number so we can request the payoff figure. Michigan plates belong to you and come off the car.
Will the offer change when you see the car?
Only if the car is materially different from how it was described — undisclosed accident damage, a title brand nobody mentioned, or mileage that does not match. Barring that, the number we quote is the number we pay. Quoting high and cutting at the door is a known tactic in this business and it is not one we use.
