Understanding the Simple Process to Sell My Car
Selling your car to Pick Your Part involves a few easy steps designed for your convenience:
Step 1: Get an Instant Online Quote
To start, simply tell us about your vehicle. For the most accurate quote, providing your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is highly recommended.
-
Why is the VIN Important? The VIN is a unique 17-character identifier for your vehicle. It allows us to accurately determine the exact year, make, and model of your car, along with its specific features. This precision helps us provide you with the most accurate initial quote.
-
No VIN? No Problem. If you can’t locate your VIN, don’t worry. You can still get a preliminary quote by providing us with the year, make, and model of your vehicle. However, for quote accuracy and to avoid potential adjustments later, we strongly encourage using the VIN when possible.
Step 2: Tell Us About Your Vehicle’s Condition
To give you the best possible offer, we need to understand your vehicle’s current condition. This includes a few key details:
-
Does Your Vehicle Start and Drive? Let us know if your car starts and drives, starts but doesn’t drive, or doesn’t start at all. We buy vehicles in all conditions, and this information helps us prepare for the most suitable and efficient vehicle pickup if needed.
- Starts and Drives: The vehicle starts, idles normally, can be put into gear, and move forward under its own power.
- Starts But Does Not Drive: The vehicle starts and runs at idle but cannot be driven safely.
- Does Not Start: The vehicle is unable to start and run in its current condition.
-
Any Fire or Flood Damage? Please inform us if your vehicle has sustained any fire or flood damage.
-
Missing Parts? It’s common for used cars to have minor wear and tear. Small blemishes typically won’t affect your offer. However, please let us know if any major components are missing or damaged, such as:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Catalytic Converters
- Hood
- Doors
- Fenders
- Headlights
- Taillights
-
Catalytic Converters: Are any catalytic converters missing? Knowing this is crucial as the number of catalytic converters expected on your vehicle affects its value. Check your vehicle’s manual if you’re unsure of their location, which could be under the vehicle or in the engine compartment.
-
Clean Title? Does your vehicle have a clean title? A clean title typically means the vehicle hasn’t been declared a total loss or severely damaged. Check your title for terms like “salvage” or “rebuilt.” If you don’t see these terms, your title is likely clean.
- Clean Title: Indicates the vehicle is not considered a total loss, despite any existing damage.
- Salvage or Rebuilt Title: “Salvage” means the vehicle was declared a total loss. “Rebuilt” signifies it has been refurbished after a salvage title was issued.
- Not Sure? If your title doesn’t say “salvage” or “rebuilt,” it’s likely clean. If you don’t have the title readily available, simply indicate you’re unsure, and we can assist you.
Step 3: Provide Your Location and Contact Information
Tell us where your vehicle is located and your preferred contact method. Let us know if you prefer to drive the vehicle to one of our locations or need us to pick it up. Also, confirm if you own the vehicle outright (have a clean title and no outstanding loans or leases).
Step 4: Receive and Accept Your Offer
Once you’ve provided all the necessary details, we’ll calculate your personalized quote. Our offers are based on factors like market value, vehicle condition, and title status. We aim to provide you with a top-dollar offer that reflects your vehicle’s worth.
Step 5: Get Paid!
- Schedule a Pickup or Drive-In: We can arrange for free vehicle pickup at a time that’s convenient for you, often as quickly as the same day. Alternatively, you can bring your vehicle to one of our conveniently located Pick Your Part stores. Find a Location Near You
- Get Paid on the Spot: Upon vehicle inspection at pickup or drop-off, we’ll finalize the paperwork and provide you with immediate payment.

FAQs About Selling Your Car to Pick Your Part
What exactly is a VIN and where can I find it?
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is your car’s unique fingerprint. This 17-character code provides detailed information about your vehicle’s manufacturer, specifications, and history. You can typically find your VIN in a few locations:
- Dashboard: The most common place is on the driver’s side dashboard, where it meets the windshield. Look through the windshield from outside the car.
- Doorjamb: Open the driver’s side door and check the doorjamb (the area where the door latches shut). The VIN is often printed on a sticker there.
- Vehicle Title and Registration: Your VIN is also printed on your vehicle’s title, registration documents, and insurance cards.
What does it mean to have a clean title?
A clean title means that your vehicle has not been declared a total loss by an insurance company due to damage from accidents, floods, or other incidents. It signifies that the vehicle has not been significantly damaged and is legally clear for sale and transfer of ownership. If your title does not state “salvage” or “rebuilt,” it is most likely a clean title.
Can I sell my car if it doesn’t start or drive?
Yes! Pick Your Part buys vehicles in all conditions, including those that don’t start or drive. We will adjust our offer to reflect the vehicle’s condition, and we have the equipment to handle the pickup of non-running vehicles. Just be sure to accurately describe your vehicle’s condition when you request your quote.
What if my car is missing parts?
You can still sell your car to Pick Your Part even if it’s missing parts. The value of your quote will be adjusted based on the missing components. Please provide accurate information about any missing parts when describing your vehicle to receive the most precise offer.
Can I sell my car if I still have a loan or lease?
Currently, Pick Your Part can only purchase vehicles that are owned outright with a clean title and no outstanding loans or leases. If you are still paying off your vehicle, you will need to settle your loan or lease before selling to us. However, once your loan is satisfied, we would be happy to provide you with a top-dollar offer for your vehicle.
