Selling a car in Waukegan

Waukegan and the north Lake County towns are a regular run for us on the way up toward the Wisconsin line. Cars near the lake take a beating from the damp and the salt, and we buy plenty that other places pass on for rust.

We cover all of Waukegan including I-94, Route 41, and Route 120 — and the streets off them. If you're in 60085 or 60087, you're in our area. We're 22 miles out, near the lakefront, and we run up that way regularly.

One minute on the phone

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 Waukegan

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 →
