Richmond, British Columbia
Richmond's trusted local car buyers. We serve all of Richmond from Steveston to City Centre. Fair cash offers for any vehicle, any condition, with free same-day pickup.
Richmond sits on the Fraser delta, almost entirely at or near sea level, and that shapes the cars we see here. Vehicles parked long-term near the Steveston dyke or out toward Terra Nova pick up corrosion faster than the same car would in Coquitlam. Damp winters and salt air are hard on brake lines, exhausts and rocker panels.
We buy across the whole city, from City Centre towers to Steveston Village and the Ironwood side. A rusting underside does not disqualify a car from a fair cash offer — it is simply one of the things we look at honestly when we price it.
Cars left near YVR for months while an owner is overseas are a regular Richmond pickup. If you are out of the country, we can arrange the sale with whoever is legally authorised to sign on your behalf.
Underbody rust from years near the water is normal here. We account for it in the offer rather than using it as a reason to renegotiate on the day, which is a tactic you should treat as a red flag from any buyer.
The condo density around Brighouse and Aberdeen means parkade pickups are the norm. Same drill as anywhere: stall number, clearance, and whether the car still rolls.

Three steps
No listing to write, no test drives with strangers, no waiting on a cheque to clear.
STEP 01
Year, make, model, rough mileage, and an honest word on condition. Photos help for anything with damage, rust, or awkward access — a steep driveway or an underground parkade is worth mentioning now rather than on the day.
STEP 02
One figure, no obligation, and it is the figure you get paid. We price rust, high mileage and non-runners at the quoting stage rather than discovering them on your driveway and renegotiating.
STEP 03
We come to Richmond, look the vehicle over, and hand you the cash before it goes on the truck. You sign the ICBC Transfer/Tax Form, keep your plates, and that is the whole process.
What we buy
Condition changes the number, never whether we are interested in a vehicle in Richmond. Do not spend money on repairs to improve an offer — you will rarely get it back.
Low mileage, clean body, full service history. Often garaged second cars that were barely driven.
Drives well, normal wear for its age. The everyday commuter that has simply been replaced.
Runs, but needs work. Failed inspections, tired brakes, a slipping transmission, warning lights on.
Body damage, heavy corrosion, or a repair bill well past what the car is worth to fix.
Seized brakes, dead battery, flat-spotted tires, parked since 2015. We bring the winch and the deck truck.
Lapsed insurance does not stop a sale. It is exactly why we come to you rather than asking you to drive it over.
No obligation
Tell us about the vehicle and we’ll come back with a fair cash offer within 24 hours.

APV9TThe ICBC Transfer/Tax Form. You sign it at collection, alongside your registration and matching photo ID.
PLATESIn BC your plates stay with you, never with the car. Take them off before we load it.
REFUNDBring the plates and your signed copy to any Autoplan broker to cancel insurance and claim what you are owed.
LIENMoney still owed against the vehicle has to be cleared first — ownership cannot transfer cleanly until it is.
NO TESTAirCare ended in 2014. There is no inspection certificate to get before a private sale.
Local questions
Yes. Underbody and rocker corrosion is normal for vehicles that have spent years near the dyke, and it is something we expect to find in Richmond. We factor it into the offer at the quoting stage rather than discovering it on the driveway and dropping the price. If rust is the reason the car failed to sell privately, that is exactly the situation where selling to a buyer who prices the whole vehicle, rather than one component, works out better for you.
It can be done, but the paperwork has to be right. The person signing the BC transfer form must either be the registered owner or hold written authorisation to sell on the owner's behalf. If the registered owner is abroad, sort that authorisation out before we come — a signed letter plus a copy of their ID is usually the practical minimum. We would rather tell you this in advance than turn up and be unable to complete the sale.
Yes, and they are a big share of our Richmond work given the density around City Centre, Brighouse and Aberdeen. The two things that determine how smoothly it goes are ramp clearance and access. Give us the stall number, tell your building manager we are expected, and let us know whether the car rolls and steers. If there is a loading bay with more headroom than the main ramp, that is usually the better exit.
Scrapping pays by weight and nothing else, which is the right answer only when a vehicle genuinely has no value beyond its metal. A car that still runs, or that has desirable parts, a recent set of tires, or a body in reasonable shape, is usually worth more than scrap value. Get a quote from us first. If the honest answer is that your car is a scrap vehicle, we will tell you that, and our offer will reflect it — but you will at least know rather than guessing.

No obligation
A quote is a figure to consider, not a commitment. Take it away, compare it, sleep on it.
