Selling a car in Des Plaines

Des Plaines sits right against O'Hare, and we see a fair number of cars there that failed emissions and weren't worth the repair to get through. Failing a test doesn't hurt what we'll pay — we're not putting it back on the road in that condition either way.

We cover all of Des Plaines including I-294, Route 14, and Oakton Street — and the streets off them. If you're in 60016 or 60018, you're in our area. We're 9 miles out, near the O'Hare corridor, which means most Des Plaines pickups happen the same day you call.

What we'll ask you

Year, make and model
Title and keys — do you have them?
Does it start? Does it drive?
Roughly what's the mileage?

Then we give you a number. Not a range designed to get a truck into your driveway so we can talk you down — an actual figure you can say yes or no to.

If it's easier to show us than tell us, text photos to (224) 518-4828 and we'll quote from those.

Any condition

What we buy in Des Plaines

Won't start, won't pass emissions, or won't move
Blown engines, failed transmissions, head gaskets
Wrecked, hail-damaged and flood vehicles
Sat in a driveway or garage for years
High-mileage trucks, vans and SUVs
Salvage and rebuilt titles

Do I need the title?

It's easier with one and you'll get more for the car. Without it, it depends on the vehicle's age and your situation.

Call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can work with what you have — and exactly what you'd need if we can't. More on selling without a title →
