FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kinds of cars does Peddle buy?

We buy almost any car or truck, no matter the condition. Through our nationwide network, we purchase everything from well-loved vehicles over 10 years old to cars that barely run, or don’t run at all.

Whether your car is missing insurance, has expired registration, failed emissions or safety tests, or is one step from the scrapyard, we’ll likely make you an offer. Even totaled cars and vehicles labeled a "total loss" by insurance companies are fair game.

From clunkers to clean titles, if you’re ready to sell, we’re ready to buy.

How does Peddle calculate my offer?

We generate a competitive offer based on the details you provide. Our system factors in:

  • The current demand for your vehicle type
  • Regional pricing trends for used cars
  • The value of your car’s parts or scrap metal

We’ll buy cars in any condition, running or not, but a few things may increase your offer:

  • A working battery (so the car can start)
  • Properly inflated tires (if it’s drivable)

You don’t need an account or even an email to get started, and your car doesn’t need wheels or a transmission to qualify. Just enter your info and get a free, no-obligation offer instantly.

When will my car be picked up?

Free pickup is included with every offer. Once you accept, you’ll typically be scheduled within a few days, sometimes even the same day, depending on availability in your area.

You can pick a convenient time slot online, or if online scheduling isn’t supported in your region, our team will reach out to coordinate with you directly.

When do I get paid, and how?

Payment is made at the time of pickup, right on the spot. Most of the time, you’ll receive a business check from the tow driver. It’s safer than cash and ensures secure tracking of every transaction.

No hidden fees, no surprises, just simple, straightforward payment for your vehicle.

Can the offer change? What if I change my mind?

We stand by our offers, as long as the details you provide match the condition of the car at pickup. If there’s a major discrepancy (like a missing catalytic converter, significantly higher mileage, or a non-starting engine), we may revise the offer to reflect its true value.

Our drivers verify details like VIN, mileage, condition, and missing parts. Honesty is the best policy, we buy cars in all kinds of shape, and we don’t judge.

You’re free to cancel the sale or decline the updated offer at any time before pickup.

What happens to my car after it’s picked up?

Cars sold through Peddle go on to a variety of destinations, including licensed dealers, salvage buyers, junkyards, recyclers, and wholesalers.

After pickup, we’ll send you a receipt with all the transaction details. You’ll also receive helpful instructions based on your state, including whether you need to:

  • File a Notice of Sale or Release of Liability
  • Surrender license plates
  • Complete a title transfer

We make it easy to wrap things up so you can move on without a hassle.

I had to update my mileage from 150k to…

I had to update my mileage from 150k to 129k and your representative would not update it and was very rude and lied to me. Also the tow truck driver was a day late and when I called the tow company they lied and gave the excuse that they didn’t get the paperwork saying it was Peppels fault, as I heard in the background, is it about the 2011 kia? Misleading and lies is no way to run a business. Everyone I know is learning about this experience. If I could give zero stars I would!

Hi David,

We apologize that you encountered a delay during the pickup of your 2011 Kia Optima LX and for any communication issues during your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

The agent did not update the mileage during your phone call on 02/21, as your vehicle was set for pickup that day, and we did not want to cancel the pickup. A different agent assisted with updating the mileage when the driver got to your location, and updating the mileage did not affect the offer amount.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We wish it had been better. Please keep us in mind for any future sale you may have. Thank you for choosing Peddle. - Lauren

Sold Broken Down SUV

My 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe blew the engine after 150K miles. Reached out to Peddle to sell the vehicle, which had been towed to a repair shop by roadside assistance. Customer service people at Peddle were easy to work with, offered a fair price for my vehicle, and within a few days picked it up from the repair shop. I was not able to be there when the vehicle was picked up, so they mailed me the check for the vehicle and I received that check about a week later. Everything went very smoothly.

I love the idea of peddle...the concept…

I love the idea of peddle...the concept itself is great but it definitely needs work ...to give you an idea...I will put in a vehicle with 150k miles & it will give me a price...I put in same vehicle with 50k miles & the offer is less??? This doesn't happen often but it does happen...I have also had it offer me more for a non moving vehicle than the same vehicle that runs & drives perfect??? But generally its great!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Michael! We appreciate you being a loyal Peddle customer and feel your feedback is invaluable! Our offers are generated by the salvage value of the vehicle within recent sales markets. Our systems pull the data and compile an offer based on the yes or no questions answered and the decoding of the VIN (vehicle options and factory options, etc.) We do have an option to list your vehicle for sale for your own asking price when the instant offer is not quite what you are looking for. We can work to find a buyer for you to try and get more for your vehicle. It is a free service and easy to use! Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help list for your next vehicle! Thanks again for choosing Peddle!
