Sell Any Junk, Used, or Damaged Car, Truck, or SUV in Hawaii

Selling a car, truck, van, or SUV? We’re interested. Junk cars, old trucks, and other unwanted vehicles are all purchased. Any condition is fine, whether damaged, wrecked, or with mechanical issues, we’ll take it. Non-running vehicles and those that have been in accidents are accepted too. No need to be concerned about the vehicle age or type. We buy nearly everything, including salvage vehicles and cars that failed emission tests, high mileage cars, and clunkers.

We buy vehicles in Hawaii in any condition:

Flood Damage
Vehicles often suffer from flood damage due to heavy rains and occasional flash floods. Water intrusion causes electrical and engine problems.
Rust or Corrosion
Salt air near the coast accelerates rust and corrosion on vehicle bodies and undercarriages. This is a common issue for cars used near the ocean.
Mechanical Issues
Heat and humidity in Hawaii can cause engines and other components to wear faster. Many vehicles need repairs to stay reliable in this climate.
Cosmetic Wear
Sun exposure causes fading paint and cracked dashboards over time. Scratches and dents are common from tight parking and busy streets.
Non Running
Vehicles may stop running due to battery failure, engine trouble, or lack of use. We buy cars that won’t start or need major repairs.

Common Questions About Selling Your Car in Hawaii

Q: Do you buy cars that don’t run in Hawaii?
A: Yes, we buy vehicles that don’t run, regardless of condition. Since many cars here sit for long periods due to island weather and other factors, we specialize in handling non-running vehicles with free towing across all Hawaii counties.

Q: Can I sell a car to you if it has a salvage title from a Hawaii accident?
A: Yes, we purchase cars with salvage titles. Vehicles with Hawaii salvage titles can still have value, and we factor their condition and repairability into our instant offers.

Q: How quickly can you pick up my vehicle anywhere in Hawaii?
A: Typically, we arrange pickup within a few days, sometimes even the same day, depending on your island and county. We coordinate free towing throughout all Hawaii counties to make it as convenient as possible.

Q: Do I need to return my license plates to the DMV after selling my car in Hawaii?
A: Yes, Hawaii requires sellers to return license plates to the DMV when transferring ownership. We can guide you through the process to ensure you comply with local regulations and avoid future liability.

Q: Can I sell a car without having current registration in Hawaii?
A: Yes, you can sell cars regardless of whether they are currently registered. We work with vehicles in every registration status across Hawaii’s counties and handle all paperwork smoothly.

Q: Will you pick up a junk vehicle blocked behind a fence or in a backyard?
A: Absolutely, we provide towing even if your car is stuck in a garage, behind gates, or on private property anywhere in Hawaii. We understand access can be tricky on some islands and plan accordingly.

Q: Do modifications made for Hawaii’s island terrain affect the offer?
A: Modifications can impact your offer positively or negatively. Custom changes like lifted suspensions for off-road use or enhanced cooling systems for Hawaii’s climate may increase value, but improper modifications can lower it.

Q: Does the high humidity and salt air in Hawaii affect vehicle condition and pricing?
A: Yes, Hawaii’s salty ocean air accelerates rust and interior wear, which we carefully assess. This environmental effect may lower your vehicle’s value, but we still buy cars with rust or mold problems for cash.

Q: Do mileage and vehicle age affect offers differently in Hawaii compared to the mainland?
A: Mileage and age are factors, but due to Hawaii’s smaller driving distances and island-specific wear, we often weigh condition and local factors more heavily than just miles driven.

Q: Can you tow vehicles from apartment complexes or other restricted parking areas in Hawaii counties?
A: Yes, we routinely tow from apartment complexes, condos, and other restricted or private parking locations across all Hawaii counties with proper permissions.

Q: What types of vehicles do you not buy in Hawaii?
A: We buy most cars including junk vehicles and classics, but we do not purchase motorcycles or recreational vehicles like RVs due to complex local registration and disposal laws.

Q: Is my offer valid if vehicle market prices fluctuate in Hawaii?
A: We typically honor offers for seven days to accommodate market changes unique to Hawaii’s vehicle demand and supply before needing to reassess.

How To Sign Your Hawaii Vehicle Title

Signing a Hawaii vehicle title correctly is a key step when selling a car. The process involves several specific actions to ensure the title legally transfers ownership. We guide you through the exact steps so the sale completes smoothly and follows Hawaii state requirements.

Locate the ownership section on the title, which is usually labeled “Assignment of Title.”
Print the buyer’s full name clearly in the space provided for the buyer’s information.
Sign your name exactly as it appears on the title in the seller’s signature area.
Write the date of sale next to your signature on the title.
Fill in the odometer reading in the designated box if required by the title form.
If there is more than one owner, ensure all owners sign the title as sellers.
Do not make any other marks on the title to avoid rejection during transfer.
Give the signed title to the buyer so they can complete their part of the transfer.

How To Turn in Your Hawaii License Plates

In Hawaii, when you sell a car, you must remove the license plates from the vehicle before the sale. The plates do not stay with the vehicle or transfer automatically to the new owner. Instead, you keep the plates or return them to the DMV. If you want to use the plates on another vehicle, you must transfer them through the DMV.

Remove the license plates from the vehicle before handing it over to the buyer.
If you decide not to transfer the plates to another vehicle, take the plates to your local DMV office.
Complete the License Plate Return form available at the DMV or online.
Submit the form and the license plates to the DMV in person or by mail.
If transferring the plates to a different vehicle, visit the DMV with both vehicles’ information.
Complete the license plate transfer application at the DMV.
Pay any required fees for the transfer process.
Keep the plates on your new vehicle according to the DMV instructions.
