Terms of use

Last updated November 6, 2026

By using caremptor.com or requesting an offer from Car Emptor, you agree to these terms.

Offers

An offer is based on the information you provide and is valid for 7 days unless we say otherwise. When the vehicle is inspected at pickup, the offer may be adjusted if its condition, equipment, mileage or title status differs from your description. You can decline an adjusted offer, and you won't be charged anything.

No fees

Towing is free wherever we buy, and we don't charge for title processing or paperwork. Nothing is deducted from an accepted offer for these services.

Your responsibilities

  • You must be the legal owner of the vehicle or have legal authority to sell it.
  • The information you give us must be accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • You must disclose any loans or liens. We will pay off disclosed liens as part of the purchase.
  • Remove personal property before pickup. We aren't responsible for items left in the vehicle.

Payment and transfer

Payment is made at pickup, before the vehicle is removed. If there is a lien, we pay the lender directly and pay you any amount above the payoff at pickup. Ownership passes when you receive payment and sign the title over.

No obligation

Requesting an offer is free and doesn't obligate you to sell. We may decline to buy any vehicle.

Site content

Guides and articles on this site are general information, not legal or tax advice. Rules vary by state; check with your motor vehicle agency.

To the extent the law allows, Car Emptor isn't liable for indirect or consequential damages from using this site.
