Have questions about selling your car for cash in North Vancouver? We've compiled answers to the most common questions we receive. If you don't see your question here, feel free to contact us or call us at (604) 555-0123.
What types of vehicles do you buy?
We buy all types of vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles. We purchase vehicles in any condition – running, not running, damaged, high-mileage, junk, or scrap. As long as it has four wheels (or two, for motorcycles), we're interested!
Do you buy non-running cars or scrap vehicles?
Absolutely! We specialize in purchasing non-running, junk, and scrap vehicles. Even if your car hasn't started in years or has been in an accident, we'll still make you a fair cash offer. Many of our clients sell us vehicles that are no longer roadworthy.
How quickly can you pick up my car in North Vancouver?
In most cases, we can arrange same-day pickup if you accept our offer early in the day. Our team operates throughout North Vancouver and can typically arrive within a few hours of confirming the appointment. We work around your schedule to make pickup as convenient as possible.
Do I need to be the registered owner to sell my car?
Yes, you must be the registered owner of the vehicle as shown on the BC registration documents. If you're selling on behalf of someone else, you'll need written authorization from the registered owner along with their identification. This is required by law for the transfer of ownership.
How is payment made?
We pay cash on the spot at the time of pickup. Once we inspect the vehicle, complete the paperwork, and confirm everything matches what you described, we hand you cash immediately. No waiting for checks to clear or bank transfers to process – you get paid right away.
Is towing really free?
Yes, towing is completely free for all vehicles we purchase in North Vancouver. There are no hidden fees, no towing charges, and no surprise deductions from your offer. The price we quote is the price you get, and we include free towing as part of our service.
Do you buy leased or financed vehicles?
This situation can be more complicated. If you have an active lease, you typically cannot sell the vehicle without the leasing company's permission. For financed vehicles, you can sell them, but you'll need to pay off the remaining loan balance. We recommend contacting your lender or leasing company first to understand your options and any early termination fees.
Are there any hidden fees?
No, there are absolutely no hidden fees. The cash offer we provide is exactly what you'll receive. We don't charge for quotes, towing, paperwork, or anything else. What we offer is what you get – guaranteed.
What documents do I need to sell my car in BC?
To sell your car in British Columbia, you'll need: (1) Valid government-issued photo ID (BC driver's license or similar), (2) Vehicle registration showing you as the registered owner, and (3) Keys to the vehicle if available. You'll also need to remove your license plates before we tow the vehicle away.
How do you determine the value of my car?
We evaluate your vehicle based on several factors including current market value, make and model, year, mileage, overall condition, demand for parts, and scrap metal prices. For running vehicles, we also consider resale potential. We strive to offer competitive, fair prices based on these factors.
What happens to my vehicle after you buy it?
It depends on the condition. Running vehicles in good shape may be resold. Vehicles with valuable parts are dismantled and the parts are sold. Vehicles beyond repair are sent to licensed recycling facilities where the metal and materials are recycled responsibly. We aim to minimize waste and maximize the value we can recover.
Can I sell a car that has been in an accident?
Yes, we regularly purchase accident-damaged vehicles. Whether your car has minor body damage or was in a serious collision, we'll still make you an offer. Even severely damaged vehicles have value in their parts and scrap metal.
Do I need to cancel my insurance before you pick up the car?
You should contact ICBC to cancel your auto insurance after we've completed the sale and ownership transfer. Don't cancel it before the pickup, as you want coverage until the vehicle is officially sold. ICBC may refund you for any unused portion of your insurance policy.
What if my car has outstanding ICBC claims or traffic tickets?
Outstanding traffic tickets or parking fines are tied to the vehicle owner, not the vehicle itself, so you'll need to resolve those separately. For ICBC claims, it depends on the situation. If there's an active claim on the vehicle, you may need to settle it before selling. We recommend contacting ICBC to clarify your specific situation.
Can you pick up my car if it's not at my home address?
Yes, we can pick up your vehicle from any location in North Vancouver where you have permission to have it towed from – your home, workplace, storage facility, or elsewhere. Just let us know the pickup address when you accept our offer.
