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.

100% LEGIT…

Genuinely surprised to find out Peddle is 100% legit! Answered a few questions, an immediate quote came back to me (675.00 more than carbrain), they arrived on scheduled date, handed me check for full amount, and took my car away! Zero haggling, fast and easy transaction! I would use them again and confidently recommend them to anyone!

Hassle-free is exactly the goal, especially when other options eat up so much time. Glad the old car finally found its way out.

It was simple and fast

It was simple and fast. I had tried Carbrain first but they wanted photos. I sent the photos to an email and a text and they closed my request because they said the pictures never reached them. Peddle didn't even require pictures. It was just so easy!

good offer good people good experience just good all around

The representative (Kim) was highly responsive, and her great New Hampshire attitude made the experience fantastic. Peddle offered the best price compared to CarBrain and Wheelzy with zero haggling, and even honored the original quote after I missed the 7-day window due to misplacing the pink slip.

Very streamline

Very streamline, no hassle or bombarding of calls. Getting a quote was easy and it was easy to cancel and update for a better or more accurate quote ( I originally thought my vehicle had more miles on it when I first quoted ). Offered are competitive and reasonable than the other main companies I tried ( wheelzy , carbrain , etc) especially for older and broken cars ( mine had a bad engine and was not drivable ) They keep you informed on every step of the process and provide a receipt at completion.
Next day it same day pick up no extra fees.
Tow company they partnered with was professional, efficient, and very understanding. I did have my original pick up rescheduled due to no fault of peddle themselves ( my battery died and needed to recharge it ) and they were able to pick it up same day and maintained same offer once issue was fixed.
While no pictures or anything is required for the quote it is important that you are honest of the state of your vehicle and that it is in the condition reported at time of pick up otherwise the offer is subject to change and drops significantly ( my battery died right before pickup and they dropped the offer more than half the original). But if it is something fixable ( like in my case it just needed to charge the battery again so it started without a jump) they will honor the original offer and allow a reschedule. They do not do cash, but pay with check .
Didn't have any issue with the payment, no bounced check etc.
Very easy to get in contact with customer service and are very helpful and understanding.

Quick

Quick, easy pickup and payment. The driver was on time and I hadn't experienced any of the scheduling problems as I had experienced with CarBrain. I actually cancelled the sale to CarBrain and contacted Peddle instead. I was very pleased when working with Peddle.

SIMPLE and HONEST

Took about a minute to enter my info and get an offer. Was triple the offer from Carbrain. Picked up the car the next day and handed me a check in the spot.
I was very skeptical at first. But the process was simple and honest. And the tow truck company was Honest.
I would recommend this process to anyone.

Best pricing -simple and easy

Simple, easy, best price from several I had contacted. Sold damaged Toyota Corolla with 197K miles but still running, they were 60% higher price than Carbrain and Carvana .

Scam unless its under 1k

I received a quote and agreed to the amount. Had a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee fully loaded with no dings or scratches. Engine gave out on me. On pick up day, they changed my quote significantly because of "The carrier notified us of a difference". They said they couldn't validate the mileage even though I took a picture with the tow truck drivers phone for them. They immediately dropped the offer by half, and then I stood strong on the agreed number. They came up to meet close to the number but the principal in me wouldnt let me proceed. An agreed deal is a deal is basically what their website states. Thats not true, they are hustlers.

Edit - CarBrain provided a higher value offer and confirmed they do not change the deal at pick up. Per Peddles response below, the questionnaire asks you if your car can start on its own and I said no. Also stated car does not have a working battery so nothing should have been new to them upon arriving onsite.

Final Edit - Went with CarBrain, they showed up and handed me the check before even taking pictures of the vehicle. Pro-tip, go with CarBrain, dont accept initial offer and put it for bidding with a price slightly above the automated offer. A representative will reach out to you asking for pictures and offer a fair value deal (more than the AI will offer from the initial site submission).

I can certainly understand your concerns regarding the odometer reading, Tyler. Our Terms & Conditions advsie that the vehicle conditions are based upon the vehicles condition alone, under its own power, and can not be achieved by a jumpstart, charge, etc. I wish we had been a better fit for you and hope you are able to secure an offer that meets your needs. We appreciate you giving Peddle a try and wish you the very best.

Found Peddle and CarBrain online

Found Peddle and CarBrain online . False to make a deal with CarBrain. They are hard to negotiate and don't leave much room. Suffocates, has to quit.
Peddle : simple, easy and fast. I thought:: possible scam ! Postpone the deal. Further investigation Peddle and back to a dealt Everything went smoothly. So surprised… To sell your car. This is a company you can trust. Thanks Peddle.

Easy, efficient, and fair price

Easy and efficient, with great communication. Received a significantly higher offer (almost $1k more) from Peddle versus a couple of comparable services (including Carbrain).

Everything went well!

The entire process of selling my car to Peddle was very easy. I got an instant offer that was higher than the other places I got a quote from (Carvana, CarBrain, etc.) despite having transmission issues and after answering a couple more questions and sending some pictures, they were ready to pick up my car. I was given a time frame of 5 hours and they arrived less than 2 hours in, even after I was told there was a little delay because the first tow truck broke down. I appreciated the updates and the ability to text Peddle with questions. As someone who hates being on the phone with someone, this is an incredibly useful feature. The only time I had to take a phone call was when the driver called me. I’m glad Peddle warned me to take phone calls on pick-up day, which goes to show that they understand that people don’t typically take phone calls from unknown numbers. When the tow truck driver arrives, he was friendly and professional, and he handed me a printed check with the same offer amount. I had no issues depositing the check in my bank. He helped me remove my license plates as well. I immediately got a receipt in my email regarding the sale. Overall, the process took around 3 days. It would’ve been 2, but I was unavailable for the first time slot given, so I was given the time slot for the next day. I’m extremely satisfied with how smoothly everything went and I would definitely recommend this place to people trying to sell their car.

Easiest way to get a nice deal.

I had a broken down 2002 Ford Focus. I didn't want to bring it anywhere as that would cost money for a tow, but I needed to see how much it might be worth.The experience with Peddle was very easy. The website is very clean and made it simple to answer the questions. I entered info a few times to see how it might affect the offer. At the end they offered me the most ($450) for my junk 2002 Ford Focus vs Carbrain, KBB or any other site I put it into. They came and towed it away a few days later and gave me the check at the same time. Very nice and easy if you want to get a good deal for a broken down or old car without any hassle. Thanks!

Thumbs up for Peddle!

Peddle offered me almost twice what Carbrain offered and I didn’t have to deal with repeated ( and stupid) emails from Carbrain’s agent.
The man who towed our truck away was friendly, efficient and delightful.

A pleasant end to the sad death of our truck
