Selling a car in Las Vegas
Summer heat on the valley floor kills batteries and cracks dashboards, and we buy plenty of cars that won't start after a long hot stretch.
We pick up all over Las Vegas, from Centennial Hills and Downtown to the Arts District and Whitney. Pickup is usually within 24 to 48 hours after you accept an offer.
Sun and heat wear, priced fairly
Long hot summers kill batteries, crack dashboards, fade paint and wear out AC compressors and cooling systems. None of that stops us from buying. If the car won't start because of a dead battery or an overheated engine, we tow it anyway.
Areas we cover around Las Vegas
We buy cars across Clark County and the wider Las Vegas area, including Henderson, North Las Vegas, Paradise, Spring Valley, Summerlin and Boulder City. If your car is somewhere else in Nevada, we buy it there too.

Questions from Las Vegas sellers

How fast can you pick up my car in Las Vegas?

Do you buy junk cars in Las Vegas?
Yes. We buy junk, wrecked and non-running cars in Las Vegas and tow them for free. Most are priced on their parts and metal, plus any value left in the model.
What paperwork do I need to sell a car in Las Vegas, NV?
The title and a photo ID that matches it. In Nevada, the plates belong to the seller, not the car. Remove plates and reuse them on another vehicle or surrender them to DMV. Buyer can keep them only with form SP 67. File the Vehicle Resale Notification with the state after the sale, and you can file it online. It records that the car is no longer yours. For a duplicate title, Las Vegas residents can go to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Can I sell a junk car without a title in Las Vegas?
No. Nevada DMV's wrecker guide (June 2023) says wreckers buying directly from an owner need the owner's title documents, and a bill of sale does not replace a certificate of title. To replace a lost Nevada title, apply to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles with VP 012. The fee is $20.
Can I keep a junk car at my house in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas allows one inoperative vehicle on residential property for up to 60 days, screened from view in a side or rear yard. Wrecked or junk vehicles must be removed. If you'd rather not deal with it, we tow junk cars from Las Vegas for free and pay you for them.
Do you charge for towing in Las Vegas?
No. Towing is free in Las Vegas and everywhere else we buy. The offer you accept is the amount you're paid.
