Frequently asked questions

Do you take competing offers into consideration?

Yes, at SellMyCarSTL, we strive to provide the most competitive offers for your car! If you have received an offer in writing from another buyer, we encourage you to let our team know as soon as possible.

How long is the offer good for?

The 'cash now' offer is valid for 7 days or up to 250 miles from the time of submission, whichever comes first.

Will you buy any car?

We are open to purchasing a wide range of vehicles, as long as they can be driven, have a clean title, and are in overall good enough condition to have a means to sell them. Whether it’s a sedan, SUV, or truck we’re here to help. To determine if we can purchase your car, please reach out to us directly and provide details about your vehicle’s condition. Our team will be more than happy to assist!

Do all cars qualify for the "more cash later" option?

No, not every vehicle qualifies. The eligibility for our "More Cash Later" option is subject to the discretion of our retail partners. They assess each vehicle based on their specific criteria for resale, which may include considerations beyond strict year or mileage limits. For more details, please speak with a SellMyCarSTL agent who can provide further information and guidance.

Will you buy a salvage, rebuilt, or branded title vehicle?

Unfortunately, we do not purchase vehicles with salvage, rebuilt, or branded titles.

Is it an actual offer or just an estimate?

It’s a real cash offer based on the described condition!

How do I get paid?

Just bring your vehicle to us and in most cases we’ll cut you a check on the spot after completing a rapid inspection to confirm the condition and vehicle details.

What do I do after I receive my cash now offer?

One of our friendly associates will reach out to schedule an intake appointment. Or you can call us at 314-455-8652 for immediate assistance.

What documents or items will I need to bring?

Vehicle Title: Ensure you have the original document. Photocopies are not accepted. All non-TOD parties must be present.

Photo ID: We accept current government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license.

Vehicle Registration: If your car is registered outside of Missouri, please provide the registration document.

Key(s): If applicable, bring all sets of keys / key fobs for your car.

Notarized Lien Release: If your loan has been paid off but the lien is still indicated on the front of the title, provide a notarized lien release.

How do I know I’m getting a good deal?

We use well-known appraisal tools like Kelley Blue Book, as well as the live retail market, to determine your vehicle’s worth.

What if I still owe money on my vehicle?

Even with an existing loan, we can still purchase your vehicle! Our professional administrative staff handles all loan payoffs. At the time of sale, your SellMyCarSTL agent will call your lender to retrieve the “10-day payoff.” Depending on whether or not the loan balance is above or below the sale price will determine how we settle up on payment. If there is negative equity, it will be collected at the time of sale via debit/credit card.

Can SellMyCarSTL purchase my car even if there is a recall?

Absolutely! We’re committed to considering the purchase of your car, even if it has an open recall. There are a few cases where we cannot make a purchase, as our main concern is safety—ensuring that the recall doesn’t jeopardize the well-being of our property or personnel. Examples include cases where there’s a critical safety issue, like an un-repaired airbag recall with no available remedy.

Can SellMyCarSTL purchase my car even if my title is lost?

Yes, you may still be able to sell your car to SellMyCarSTL even if you have lost the title. However, this is subject to certain conditions. Please call to verify (314) 455-8652
