How selling your car with RetireCar works

RetireCar helps you sell vehicles you are ready to move on from—especially junk, damaged, non-running, high-mileage, or unwanted cars—with clearer steps than a typical “sell my car” runaround.

Who buys your vehicle

RetireCar matches you with real buyers in your market—such as used car dealers, scrap yards, and junkyards—who want vehicles like yours. Those buyers are the ones who pay you for the vehicle and tow it away when the deal is done.

Strong offers, more money in your pocket

Our team works your lead with interested buyers so you are not calling around yourself. A core part of what we do is match you toward the best offer and the most money we can from committed buyers for your vehicle, location, and condition—not a lowball from the first caller.

What you can expect

• No pressure, no obligation: review your offer and decide on your timeline.
• Free pickup on most accepted offers: the buyer typically tows the vehicle; RetireCar helps coordinate the match, not the tow truck itself.
• You are paid by the buyer at pickup when the vehicle matches what you described.
• Fewer loops: you submit once, we work the buyer side, and you see updates on your offer status page.

Four simple steps

• Tell us what you are driving using your plate, VIN, or basic vehicle details.
• Share condition and mileage—only what is needed to price accurately.
• We review your submission and work with interested local buyers toward an offer.
• When an offer is ready, you review it on your status page. If you accept, the buyer reaches out to schedule pickup and pay you when they pick up the vehicle.
