What we see in the Richmond market
Virginia requires an annual safety inspection and its localities levy a personal property tax on vehicles, and together those two make an unused car cost real money every year it sits. That is the most common reason we get called here — a second vehicle that stopped being driven and kept generating bills. Mild winters mean corrosion is rarely the limiting factor.
Pickup in Richmond
We collect across Richmond and central Virginia, including vehicles with an expired inspection.
How it works in Richmond
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 Virginia
Your plates
Virginia plates belong to you and come off the vehicle. Transfer or surrender them — Virginia localities levy a personal property tax on vehicles, and the registration record is what the assessment follows.
The title
Sign the title over with the odometer disclosure. Virginia requires a safety inspection for registration, which in a private sale is a cost that has to land on somebody.
This is general orientation, not legal advice, and state requirements change. Confirm the current rules with the
Virginia DMV before you complete a sale.
We prepare the transfer paperwork with you at pickup either way.
Common questions
Do you actually come to Richmond?
Yes. We collect across Richmond and central Virginia, including vehicles with an expired inspection. Pickup is free and it does not come out of your offer.
How fast can I sell my car in Richmond?
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. Virginia plates belong to you and come off the vehicle.
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.
