Physical condition does not change whether a vehicle is accepted. Free towing is included on every vehicle we buy.

The two things we do not buy

Plain paperwork and keys handed over at vehicle collection.

Both are documentary rather than physical, and neither can be worked around.

A vehicle with an active lien. The finance has to be cleared first; until it is, the vehicle is not free to be sold.

A vehicle with no ownership documentation. Proof of ownership is required on every purchase, and without it the sale cannot go ahead.

Competitors publish what they accept and stop there. These two are the questions that actually end a sale at the kerbside, so they are published here instead.

If an insurer has assessed the vehicle

That is a status question rather than an eligibility question, and it has its own page. Read insurance write-offs.

What any accepted vehicle is worth

Every accepted vehicle is valued on the same four factors: its weight, the scrap-metal market price, the salvageable parts still on it, and its year, make and condition.

The firm number comes from seeing the vehicle rather than from a phone description. For the method in full, see what your car is worth.

Collection and payment

You are paid cash on the spot, at the moment we collect the vehicle.

Collection is free on every vehicle we buy, to any city or town inside our 80 km radius of Edmonton, and it is not deducted from the offer. Return to cash for cars in Edmonton.
