Gather the documents
Locate the title or other requested proof of ownership. Disclose any lien, missing title, estate, or name issue before pickup is scheduled.
When an unused car becomes a daily problem
You are not the only person wondering what to do with it.
Maybe the car has not started in months. Perhaps the repair estimate is more than the vehicle feels worth, the registration has expired, or you simply need the driveway or garage space back.
You do not need to repair the car, create a public listing, negotiate with strangers, or arrange a tow before learning whether LetGoRide can make an offer.
Old, damaged, and non-running vehicles can be reviewed
A private vehicle sale, not a rebate application.
On this page, cash for clunkers means selling an unwanted vehicle directly to LetGoRide. It is not an application for a government rebate program. You provide the vehicle details, LetGoRide determines whether it can make an offer, and you decide whether to sell.
Older vehiclesAge, mileage, wear, and repeated repair needs may make the car impractical to keep.
Cars that no longer runA vehicle may need pickup because it will not start, drive, steer, or move safely.
Expensive mechanical problemsEngine, transmission, electrical, cooling, and other repairs may cost more than you want to invest.
Damaged vehiclesCollision damage, missing parts, broken glass, weather damage, or serious cosmetic problems can be reviewed.
Pickup is part of completing the sale.
Pickup after offer acceptance
Once you accept the offer and the required ownership information is confirmed, LetGoRide coordinates vehicle pickup. Pickup is included as part of the transaction, with no separate towing or processing fee for that scheduled pickup.
Not a separate towing service
Pickup is used to complete a vehicle purchase. It is not roadside assistance, impound recovery, mechanical transport, or a standalone towing request.
Tell us if the vehicle is blocked in, missing wheels, unable to roll, stored in a garage, or located somewhere with limited truck access. Pickup needs can be reviewed before scheduling.
Old does not automatically mean worthless.
A vehicle can have remaining value because of its parts, configuration, condition, title status, or current market demand. These details help a real evaluator understand the car you actually own.
Year, make, and modelThe exact vehicle and configuration establish the starting market.
Mileage and useOdometer mileage and how the vehicle was used help describe its remaining condition.
What still worksStarting, running, driving, steering, rolling, and major working parts can affect the review.
Damage and missing partsCollision damage, rust, broken glass, removed components, and weather exposure matter.
Title and ownershipTitle type, liens, and the available proof of ownership are part of the transaction.
Location and accessThe vehicle's location and whether a pickup truck can safely reach it may affect planning.
A little preparation can prevent delays.
Remove personal belongings
Check the glove box, trunk, console, seat pockets, and storage areas. Gather every available key and remote.
Make the car reachable
Tell the team about locked gates, low garages, soft ground, missing wheels, blocked driveways, or anything else that may affect pickup.
License plate and registration requirements vary by state. Ask what applies to your location before the vehicle leaves.
Clear paperwork matters as much as the price.
Do not rush the ownership transfer.
Take time to understand what you are signing, how payment will be provided, and what happens to the vehicle after pickup.
- Do not sign a blank title or blank ownership document.
- Confirm the offer, payment method, and pickup arrangement before releasing the vehicle.
- Remove personal information, insurance cards, toll devices, and belongings from the car.
- Keep copies or photographs of the completed sale and ownership documents.
Unsure whether your vehicle qualifies?
Ask about the vehicle's condition, ownership documents, pickup access, or the information needed to begin.
Before requesting clunker removal
Does the vehicle need to run?
No. LetGoRide reviews old, damaged, and non-running vehicles. Describe the current condition accurately when requesting an offer.
Is pickup included?
Yes. Pickup is included after you accept the offer. It is part of completing the vehicle purchase, not a separate towing service.
When is payment provided?
Payment is provided at pickup after the vehicle and ownership information are confirmed.
What documents are needed?
Documentation depends on the vehicle and transaction. The title or other proof of ownership is commonly required. Disclose any lien or ownership issue during the review.
Should I repair or clean the vehicle first?
You can request an offer for the vehicle in its current condition. Compare the repair cost with what the repair may realistically add before spending more money.
Can a vehicle be picked up from any location?
Pickup availability and equipment depend on the location, access, and condition of the vehicle. Share access problems or special circumstances during the review.
