My registration expired three years ago. Can I still sell my car?

Yes. Long-expired registrations are common in the cars we buy. You do not need to renew anything before selling to us.

Do I have to pay the back fees before selling?

No. Selling your car to us does not require bringing the registration current or settling back fees first. Bring your photo ID and the title if you have it, and our driver handles the transfer paperwork at pickup.

I lost the title too. Is that a problem?

In most cases, no. We buy cars without titles regularly. An old registration, even an expired one, helps establish your connection to the vehicle.

The car has not moved in years and probably does not run. Will you still take it?

Yes. Non-running, long-parked cars are most of what we buy. Our trucks have winches and flatbeds for exactly this, and towing is always free. Tell us where it sits so our driver brings the right equipment.

How quickly can you pick it up?

Usually within about an hour of your call. Our 15 trucks serve Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties every day.

Why Sell Instead of Renewing?

Skip the back fees entirely: Years of lapsed registration can mean significant fees to bring it current, and the total only grows the longer you wait. Selling to us means you never pay them. We buy the car as it sits.
No trip to the tag office: No appointments, no lines, no paperwork marathons. We handle the transfer documents with you at pickup and the car is gone the same day.
Stop insuring a parked car: A car sitting with expired tags still costs you insurance every month. Selling it ends that expense immediately, with cash in your hand.

Expired Tags Mean the Car Has Been Sitting

Nobody lets registration lapse on a car they drive daily. Expired tags almost always mean the car has been parked for months or years, and parked cars deteriorate. Batteries die, tires flat-spot, seals dry out, and Florida humidity invites mold and corrosion. The longer it sits, the less it is worth.

We have bought more than 10,000 cars across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, and expired registrations are routine. Our 15 trucks run daily routes, so pickup is usually within about an hour of your call, anywhere in the tri-county area.

Back fees grow while the car shrinks in value: Every year the registration lapses, the fees stack up while the car itself loses value sitting still. Selling now stops both trends at once.
You do not need current tags to sell to us: Private buyers may hesitate, but we buy cars with long-expired registrations every day. Bring a photo ID and the title if you have it.
One call ends the whole situation: No DMV visits, no fee calculations, no waiting. Tell us about the car, accept our cash offer, and our driver handles the rest at pickup.

Registration vs. Title: What Actually Matters

Registration is permission to drive on public roads. The title is proof of ownership. To sell a car, what matters is ownership, not whether the tags are current. That is why an expired registration does not block a sale to us.

Bring a photo ID and the title if you have it. If the title is lost, we buy cars without titles in most cases. An old expired registration card actually helps, since it ties you to the vehicle.

If the car was last registered in another state, that is fine too. Ownership is what matters, not where the plates came from or how long ago they expired.

Do You Have to Pay the Back Fees?

Not to sell to us. You are not required to bring the registration current before selling your car to a buyer like us. The back fees are between you and the state, and many sellers are relieved to learn the sale itself does not require settling them first.

We should be clear that we are car buyers, not tax advisors. If you have questions about what you may owe the state, those are for the tax collector's office. Our part is simple. We pay you cash and tow the car away free.

How the Pickup Works

Call 954-787-5717 with the year, make, model, and how long the car has been sitting. We give you a cash offer on the phone. Our driver comes to you, usually within about an hour, verifies the car and your paperwork, loads it with free towing, and hands you cash on the spot.

What if the plates are gone?

Missing plates are common on long-parked cars and they do not affect the sale. Just tell us when you call so our driver knows what to expect.

Can someone else handle the sale for me?

The registered owner generally needs to be present with a photo ID. If the owner cannot be there, call us first and we will explain what documentation we need.
