Sell Us Your Car Tempe
It is vital to have a reliable vehicle in Tempe. With daily congestion from the 101 and 202 freeways, getting to and from ASU, and the stop-and-go traffic on Mill Avenue, you are probably tired of paying more than your car is worth.
Whether your vehicle runs but has a lot of miles, is badly broken down and needs costly repairs, fails inspection, gets damaged in an accident, or just will not start, we help you through the process of moving on. Selling Your Car makes it much easier for people selling vehicles in Tempe by avoiding the hassle of trying to sell through the private market.
There is no need to worry about unreliable buyers, low offers from a dealership, endless messages, no-shows, or haggling until you finally sell your junk or used car because we buy any car you have. Our company purchases damaged, nonrunning, and older vehicles that are simply too expensive to maintain.
Our method involves contacting us and filling out the form to provide details about your vehicle. We review the information you provide and make you an offer. After you accept our offer, we arrange pickup at a time that works for you. When we arrive at the pickup location, we perform a brief physical inspection and then pay you at the time of pickup.

9 Automotive Facts Related to Tempe
Want to learn a few interesting things about Tempe and vehicle ownership?
- In 2023, there were 7,299 auto collisions in Tempe, including 2,230 injury crashes and 29 fatal crashes, based on cited collision totals. This level of overall exposure to motor vehicle collisions for an area this size may inform your decisions to repair or sell following prior collisions, as well as any prior cosmetic damage sustained on vehicles that could have resulted from collisions. (Source)
- According to the 2020 to 2024 ACS, the average commute time to work in Tempe is 20.9 minutes. While this is less than what many large metropolitan areas typically report for commuters, it still shows how daily driving puts wear and tear on vehicles used by people who do not bike, walk to work, or take public transportation. (Source)
- The Loop 101 corridor from US 60 to Loop 202 sees an average daily traffic volume of more than 307,000 vehicles, according to MAG’s 2025 study announcement, which means that if your usual commute is along that stretch of freeway, you experience a real local impact from frequent stop-and-go congestion on the roadway. (Source)
- If you keep a car in Tempe, which is in Arizona emissions testing Area A, your vehicle generally requires an emissions test once it is more than five years old, unless an exemption applies. An older car with a check engine light can cost more to maintain than to simply sell. (Source) (Source)
- In Arizona, the Vehicle License Tax is added to your vehicle when you register it and is assessed on the value of your vehicle. According to ADOT, the Vehicle License Tax for new vehicles is $2.80 for every $100 of assessed value. For used vehicles, the rate is $2.89 for every $100 of assessed value. Because a vehicle’s assessed value decreases as it gets older, owners of older vehicles typically pay a lower Vehicle License Tax amount than they would for a newer replacement vehicle. (Source)
- Tempe defines its Special Flood Hazard Areas as predominantly located around the Salt River, as well as near elevated canals and railroads. If you keep a vehicle at your home or business in one of these areas, include the risk of monsoon flooding when you decide whether to keep or sell the vehicle. (Source)
- The City of Tempe has a Community Rating System rating of Class five. This provides flood insurance discounts of 25 percentage in Special Flood Hazard Areas and 10 percentage for properties outside of Special Flood Hazard Areas. However, this discount applies to flood insurance premiums, not directly to vehicle insurance. (Source)
- When your car is towed under the Arizona 20-Day Tow Law, the City of Tempe charges an additional $150 administrative fee to recover your car. Additionally, if the vehicle remains unclaimed for more than 10 days after the 20-day impound period expires, the towing company may file for an abandoned title, so a low-cost vehicle may cost much more to retrieve because of those added fees. (Source)
- There is a viable alternative to a second vehicle for many people living in Tempe. Valley Metro light rail serves Tempe with nine stops, and the Tempe Streetcar operates every 15 to 20 minutes. Selling an extra car is somewhat easier if you are near downtown Tempe, ASU, or the rail corridor. (Source)

How is Sell Us Your Car Able to Pay More?
We Buy Directly From Private Sellers

We Sell Good-Working Used Parts
Our team removes usable parts from vehicles and either sells them in the used car parts market or makes them available to customers at our pick-a-part yard.
We’re Automotive Recyclers
There are only a few auto wreckers in town, and we’re one of the largest. We pay more for cars because we process and send recyclable materials straight to smelters for use in new cars and other products.

As a direct purchaser and recycler, we recycle in-house and send scrap metal directly to smelters. It enables us to cut out the middleman and give improved prices for end-of-life cars. Compare prices, shop around, but be sure to come back if we are providing you with the best offer.
We buy all used cars, including good-running vehicles. If you’d rather avoid the hassle of a private party sale or are tired of being offered too little by a dealer, we provide a hassle-free alternative to receive cash fast.
We provide phone and email estimates that take just a few minutes, arrange free towing at your convenience, and process all of the paperwork. Including any required title transfer forms from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
We purchase all types of vehicles, in any condition. This includes coupes, sedans, vans, SUVs, trucks, and luxury or specialty vehicles.
