What kind of cars do you buy?
Short answer: all of them. The only thing that changes is whether we can write the number online or need five minutes with the car first.

Two routes, one outcome
Every car here gets two offers. The question is where the number gets written.
Enter a licence plate or VIN, answer the condition questions, and both offers come back in about two minutes.
Applies to: Any vehicle not matched by the conditions below.
No online number. Bring the vehicle to the Ballwin or O'Fallon lot and you still get both offers the same day, usually inside half an hour.
These are vehicles whose value moves on things a photo cannot settle — a specialist market, a body style priced on condition and equipment, or an age and mileage band where two otherwise identical cars are worth thousands apart.
These need an appraiser to look at them
We buy all of these. We just will not put a firm number on one sight unseen, because on these the honest range is too wide to be useful to you.

Anything not on this list gets a firm number online in about two minutes. Mechanical trouble, hail or body damage does not put a car on this list either — we price the fault at our repair cost and still quote it.
Straight talk
A list like this usually means "no". Here it does not.
A Porsche, a Wrangler, a work truck and a 170,000-mile commuter are all cars we buy and resell routinely. What they have in common is that their value turns on specifics an online form cannot see — a service history, a drivetrain option, how the bed was actually used. Quoting one blind means quoting it low to be safe, and you would rightly ignore that number. Five minutes at the lot gets you a real one instead.
