We buy cars (any year, make, or model)

At Carl Burger Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram World, we buy vehicles outright-whether you're selling your daily driver, a second car, or a truck you no longer need. Because we sell a high volume of pre-owned vehicles, we're often able to provide a competitive offer compared with many private-party listings or smaller dealers.
  • Save time by skipping reconditioning, smog coordination, and advertising
  • Avoid the uncertainty of meeting multiple buyers and negotiating
  • We help handle lien payoff and title transfer paperwork when applicable
We'll complete the paperwork and provide payment when the sale is finalized.

Get an offer online in minutes

Use the tool below to tell us about your vehicle (VIN is helpful, but not required). Once you submit your details, our team will review the information and follow up with an offer.
If you prefer a standard trade-in request form instead, you can also use our Trade-In Appraisal page.

What to bring when you sell your car

1) Current California Title

  • Please bring your California Title at the time of sale.
  • If the title still shows a lienholder after payoff, bring the Title and a Lien Release from the bank.
  • If there is a lien on the car, we'll contact your lienholder during business hours to obtain a 15-day payoff.
To request a payoff, we may need:
  • Your lienholder's name and phone number
  • The name(s) on the account
  • The account holder's account number (and other information your lender may require)
If multiple registered owners are listed, ownership rules may vary depending on whether the title shows "or," "and," or "/".

2) Valid and current California Registration

A valid, current registration helps verify ownership and vehicle information.

3) Photo ID

All registered owners should bring a valid, state-issued photo ID.

4) Owner's Manual

If available, leave the owner's manual in the glove box for the next owner.

5) Keys and remotes

Keys can be expensive to replace. If original keys/remotes are missing, the offer may be adjusted.

Transaction details (quick recap)

  • To complete the sale, you must have the documents required by law to transfer ownership. If documents are missing or additional history research is needed, the offer may be revised or the purchase may be postponed.

  • We issue a company check when purchasing a vehicle. Your bank may place a hold (often up to 10 banking days); please confirm your bank's policy.

  • If your vehicle has negative equity, the difference may need to be paid at the time of sale (cashier's check/certified funds/cash). In some cases, negative equity can be included in financing on another vehicle.
