Sell your car. Get paid today.

Sell your car the easy way

Selling a car shouldn't eat your weekend. No haggling with strangers on Facebook Marketplace, no weeklong dealer back-and-forth, no lowball trade-in offers dressed up as "convenience." At Car-Tender, we built a better way: submit your car's info online, get a real offer from a real buyer in 30 minutes, and have a check in your hand the same day we pick up the keys.

We buy any car, any year, any condition, any price range — from a 2008 Honda Civic with 180,000 miles to a brand-new Lamborghini. If it has a VIN, we want to talk.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

• Step 1 — Tell us about your car. Submit your VIN (or plate), a few photos, and basic info through the form on this page. Takes about 60 seconds.
• Step 2 — Get a real offer. A Car-Tender buyer (a human, not a bot) reviews your car against live wholesale market data and sends you a fair offer within 30 minutes during business hours. The offer is good for 7 days. No obligation.
• Step 3 — We pick up, you get paid. Free pickup at your home, office, or storage unit. Or drop your car off at one of our inspection locations in Illinois, Georgia, or Florida. Either way, you walk away with a check the same day.

Why sell to Car-Tender instead of a dealership?

When a dealer makes you a trade-in offer, they're not asking "what is this car worth?" — they're asking "what can I sell this for after reconditioning, advertising, lot fees, and salesperson commissions?" That math always ends with you getting less than your car is actually worth.

Car-Tender works differently. We're a wholesale buyer with a nationwide network of dealer partners — meaning we don't need to mark up your car for a retail showroom. That lets us pay you closer to what your car is genuinely worth instead of shaving 20% off the top to cover overhead.

We handle the paperwork — including loans and liens

This is the part most people dread, and it's the part we make disappear. If you still owe money on your car, we coordinate the payoff directly with your lender, secure the lien release, and handle the title transfer. All you need to do is share your loan info and sign a couple of documents. Read more about selling a car with a loan →

What kinds of cars do we buy?

Everything. Trucks, SUVs, sedans, coupes, classics, exotics, EVs, hybrids, project cars, daily drivers. Even cars with damage, hail, dents, or high mileage. If you're not sure whether your car qualifies, just submit it — the answer is almost always yes.
