We Buy Non-Running Cars in South Florida

Ready to Sell? Start Here

A car that will not start is still worth cash. Dead engines, failed transmissions, electrical gremlins, cars that have sat so long nothing turns over, we buy them all. Call (954) 787-5717 or fill out the form above. Tell us what it does (or does not) do, get a firm offer, and we send a tow truck free, usually the same day. Cash in hand within 24 hours.

How It Works

Selling your vehicle to Instant Money Junk Cars takes minutes, not days. Here is exactly what happens from first contact to cash in hand.

Step 1: Tell us about your vehicle

Call (954) 787-5717 or fill out the form on this page with your vehicle's year, make, model, condition, and ZIP code. The more detail you share, the more accurate your offer. Photos help, but they are not required.

Step 2: Get your offer

We review your vehicle's details against current market values for its parts and recyclable materials, then give you a firm cash offer. The number we quote is the number you get. There are no fees taken out later and no last minute renegotiation in your driveway.

Step 3: Schedule a free pickup

Accept the offer and pick a pickup time that works for you, often as soon as the same day. Our tow trucks run daily routes across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, so we are usually nearby already. Towing is always free.

Step 4: Get paid on the spot

When our driver arrives, we do a quick walkaround to confirm the vehicle matches your description, handle the title paperwork with you, load the vehicle, and hand you cash before we leave. The whole visit typically takes under 30 minutes.

What Affects Your Offer

Every offer is based on real, explainable factors. Here is what we look at when we price your vehicle.

Year, make, and model

Popular makes and models with strong parts demand, like Honda, Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet trucks, typically command higher offers because their components are in constant demand from repair shops and rebuilders.

Condition and completeness

A running vehicle with a straight body is worth more than a stripped shell, but condition is never a dealbreaker. We buy cars that are wrecked, flooded, burned, or missing major components. Complete vehicles with intact engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters earn more because those parts carry the most resale and recycling value.

Title status

A clean Florida title in your name makes the sale fast and usually means a stronger offer. If your title is lost, you can request a duplicate from the FLHSMV before we arrive, which we cover in the title section below.

Current scrap and parts market

Steel, aluminum, and catalytic converter values move with commodity markets. When metal prices are strong, offers go up across the board. Calling when you are ready to sell locks in the current market, not last year's.

Vehicles We Accept

Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans that do not run: blown engines, seized motors, bad transmissions, dead electrical systems, and cars that have sat undriven for months or years. No keys is fine too. Running condition is never required.

Florida Title Basics

Florida law requires a valid Certificate of Title to transfer vehicle ownership, including when you sell a junk car. Here is what to know before pickup day.

Lost your title?

You can apply for a duplicate title using FLHSMV Form HSMV 82101 at your county tax collector's office or an FLHSMV service center. Bring a valid photo ID. The duplicate is mailed to you, so start this process as soon as you decide to sell.

After the sale

File a Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) with the FLHSMV to release your liability for the vehicle, and remove your license plate before our truck leaves. If the vehicle will be destroyed, the VIN plate is removed and surrendered with the title paperwork. We walk you through every signature at pickup so nothing is missed.
