How to Sell Your Car for Cash in Canada

How does the vehicle sale begin?

The sale begins with your vehicle details and a request for an offer. Provide the year, make, model, condition and collection postal code through the free scrap car value calculator. You receive a call or email to discuss the vehicle.

Describe the car as it stands today. State whether it starts, rolls and steers, and identify missing components. Tell us if the keys or ownership documents are unavailable. These details help resolve assessment and collection questions before an appointment is arranged.

How do you review the offer?

An inspector examining the condition of an older car.

Review the amount, the vehicle description behind it and the collection arrangements before deciding. Ask what still requires confirmation at inspection. You can decline an initial offer. A hypothetical price table does not establish an offer for your car.

Keep the offer in writing where possible. Confirm that towing is included with the purchase and clarify any condition that could change the amount. Compare offers using the same vehicle description so that you are comparing equivalent proposals.

How do you arrange free pickup?

An older silver sedan secured on a flatbed tow truck.

Agree the collection address and an available appointment after discussing the offer. Free towing is included with an accepted purchase. Same-day pickup is often available in the five served provinces, but the exact address, access and collection schedule determine availability.

Explain gates, garage clearance, steep driveways and any restriction on when the property can be entered. If the car is at a repair shop, confirm who can release it. Resolve storage or repair charges separately with the property or business concerned.

What happens when the vehicle is inspected?

A sedan, SUV, pickup truck and minivan parked together.

The inspection checks the vehicle against the details provided and establishes its condition at collection. The purchase amount is confirmed before you agree to complete the sale. Ask for an explanation if the amount differs from the earlier offer, and decide before handing over the vehicle.

Do not sign an incomplete sale document. Check that the vehicle identification and agreed amount are correct. The preparation checklist helps you organise belongings, documents and access ahead of the visit.

When do you receive payment and finish the handover?

Personal belongings gathered in a box on a car seat.

You receive cash on the spot when the inspected vehicle is purchased for the accepted amount. The vehicle is then collected with free towing. Keep your sale record and complete the applicable registration and insurance steps for your province and circumstances.

The sale record identifies what was sold and to whom. It does not replace every provincial requirement. Read how to scrap a car in Canada to find the relevant provincial guidance.

Your vehicle. Your decision.
