Why sellers choose us
More money in your pocket than trade-in or online buyers
When a dealer takes your old car on trade, they usually ship it straight to auction and pocket the difference. Online buyers only want newer, low-km cars. We buy your car directly — so the middleman's margin becomes your money.
| Mainland Cash for Cars | Dealer trade-in | Major online buyers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buys older & high-km cars | Our specialty | Lowball or refuse | Most don't qualify |
| Buys rough-but-running cars | If it runs, we buy it | Rarely | No |
| Typical payout on an old car | Top dollar — no auction middleman | Wholesale minus their margin | Algorithm price, if eligible |
| Have to buy another car from them | Never | Trade-in requires a purchase | No |
| Speed of payment | Cash or e-Transfer on the spot | Credit toward purchase only | Days, after inspection |
| Pickup at your home | Free, same or next day | You drive to them | Sometimes, if eligible |

The cars dealers don't want
If it runs, we'll make you an offer
Dealerships and online buyers cherry-pick newer inventory. We buy 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s cars and trucks that still start and drive — the everyday vehicles with real cash value left in them.
Older model years
1990, 2000, and 2010-era cars and trucks — the model years dealers won't put on their lot. Age doesn't scare us; we know what they're worth.
Sell an older car →High-kilometre cars
200,000 km? 300,000 km? The big buyers won't quote it — we will. High-km Hondas, Toyotas, and trucks are worth real money.
Sell a high-km car →Mechanical issues
Check-engine light, tired transmission, noisy engine — if it still starts and drives, we buy it exactly as-is.
Sell a car with issues →Body damage & write-offs
Dents, rust, hail, accident history, rebuilt status. Cosmetic condition doesn't change our honesty on price.
Sell a damaged car →Trucks, vans & SUVs
Work trucks with a hard life, family vans past their prime, old SUVs — often our best-paying buys.
Get a truck offer →Old but still running
About to call the junk hauler? If it still starts and drives, it's worth real money to us — not scrap value.
Don't scrap it yet →Fast & painless
