How To Sell Your Car For Cash
Selling your used car can be fast and easy. Whether replacing a vehicle, downsizing, or clearing driveway space, Peddle provides a simple way to sell your car for cash without the hassle of a private sale.
Peddle buys vehicles in any condition through our fast and straightforward car-selling process. Whether selling a commuter car, family SUV, or high-mileage truck, sellers receive a clear cash offer and a simple vehicle pickup experience.
Turn Your Used Car Into a Cash Offer in Three Simple Steps
- Get an Instant Offer: Enter your vehicle's year, make, model, and mileage to receive an instant cash offer. Peddle's car valuation tool generates a real-time quotation based on current market data and your vehicle's condition.
- Schedule a Free Pickup: Accept the offer to schedule a free vehicle pickup at a time that suits you. A licensed carrier arrives directly at the pickup location, and we tow your car for free.
- Get Paid Right Away: After the required paperwork and vehicle details are verified, payment is issued at pickup, typically by check. The carrier then collects the vehicle with no waiting period for mailed payment.
Why Choose Peddle Over a Private Car Sale?
- Avoid Unreliable Buyers: Skip the hassle of strangers visiting your home, repeated listing inquiries, and unreliable private-sale buyers.
- Guaranteed Payment: Peddle provides a haggle-free cash offer for your car. When vehicle condition details are submitted accurately, and no major vehicle components are missing, your payment by check is 100% guaranteed.
- Better Than a Trade-In: Dealerships often use wholesale vehicle pricing to maximize their margins. Peddle evaluates your car's current market value to provide a fair and competitive cash offer.
- Vehicle Pickup Included: Peddle handles vehicle pickup and towing logistics directly, removing the need to arrange transportation or meet private buyers.
- Nationwide Used Car Buying Service: Peddle buys used cars throughout the United States, and our nationwide buyer network helps sellers receive competitive offers regardless of location.
What Documents Are Required to Sell a Car?
To complete the vehicle sale and payment process efficiently, have the following documents available.
Your Paperwork Must-Haves:
- Vehicle Title—The vehicle title, sometimes called a pink slip, is the primary ownership document required to transfer vehicle ownership. All owners listed on the title must be present to sign the document. If the title is lost, contact Peddle before pickup. Depending on state requirements, alternative title replacement options may be available.
- Valid Identification—A state-issued photo ID is required to verify the seller's identity against the vehicle title before completing the transaction.
- Bill of Sale—A bill of sale documents the vehicle transaction and helps maintain sales records.
As of 2026, the following states require a bill of sale:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Hawaii
- Idaho
- Maine
- Nebraska
- New York
- Ohio
- Rhode Island
- South Dakota
- Vermont
- Washington
- West Virginia
- Wyoming
Sell Your Car Without a Title
Peddle buys cars without titles, including running, junk, damaged, and non-running vehicles.
If you don’t have a car title, Peddle will request alternative proof of ownership during the online, no-obligation valuation.
Cars without titles, or vehicles with titles other than the original, such as rebuilt, salvage, or junk titles, may receive a lower offer amount.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Vehicle Pickup
- Check for Liens: If your vehicle has an active loan or lien, you must pay off the balance to the lender before completing the sale. You may also require a lien release before pickup.
- Remove License Plates: In many states, license plates remain with the seller after the vehicle sale. Remove the plates before vehicle pickup so you can return them to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or transfer them to another vehicle.
