Selling a car in Orlando
Central Florida storms flood low roads every summer, and we buy water-damaged cars when you disclose the damage.
We pick up all over Orlando, from College Park and Pine Hills to Lake Nona and Baldwin Park. Pickup is usually within 24 to 48 hours after you accept an offer.
Water-damaged cars are welcome
Once water gets into the cabin or engine, the problems can keep coming: corroded wiring, failing sensors, mold in the carpets. Many buyers walk away. We'll make an offer as long as you tell us how deep the water was and whether the car has been dried out.

Questions from Orlando sellers
Do you buy cars in College Park and Conway?
Yes. We buy cars in College Park, Conway and every other neighborhood in Orlando, plus nearby areas like Kissimmee and Winter Park. Pickup is free wherever the car is parked.
How fast can you pick up my car in Orlando?
Once you accept, we schedule the tow for a time that suits you, usually within 24 to 48 hours. That goes for Orlando itself and the surrounding suburbs.
Do you buy junk cars in Orlando?
We do, and they don't need to run. A junk car in Orlando is priced on its weight, its working parts and the model, and the tow truck brings a winch if the wheels won't roll.
What paperwork do I need to sell a car in Orlando, FL?
The title and a photo ID that matches it. Florida doesn't require the seller's signature on the title to be notarized. In Florida, the plates belong to the seller, not the car. You may transfer the plate to another vehicle; surrender it if moving out of state or canceling insurance. File the Notice of Sale, form HSMV 82050, with the state within 30 days of the sale. It records that the car is no longer yours. For a duplicate title, Orlando residents can go to the Orange County Tax Collector.
Can I sell a junk car without a title in Orlando?
Sometimes. Vehicles 10+ model years old worth under $1,000 may be sold to a licensed salvage dealer or secondary metals recycler without a title using form HSMV 82137 and the seller's ID (Fla. Stat. 319.30). Otherwise you'll need the title or a duplicate. To replace a lost Florida title, apply to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) with HSMV 82101. The fee is $75.25 (add $2.50 for a printed paper title).
Can I keep a junk car at my house in Orlando?
Orlando Code Enforcement handles property code complaints, including cars parked in the yard; report online or at 407-246-2686. Reporters must give a name and address. If you'd rather not deal with it, we tow junk cars from Orlando for free and pay you for them.
Do you charge for towing in Orlando?
Never. There's no hook-up fee, mileage charge or deduction for the tow, whether the car is in Orlando or out in Winter Garden.
