Request a cash offer for your car.
Enter your VIN or plate to start. We inspect in person and make a real written offer.
Written offer after inspection. Beating another offer is not guaranteed.
How it works
Four honest steps. No surprises.
We are a small, veteran-owned business. You deal directly with the owner from the first call to the handshake.
Request an offer
Enter your VIN or plate, or type in the year, make, model and mileage. Tell us about the condition. This is a request, not a purchase offer.
We review and inspect
We look over your details, call or text you with questions, and arrange an in-person inspection of the vehicle.
You get a written offer
After the inspection we give you an actual offer in writing. Take your time. You are never obligated to accept.
Paperwork and payment
If you accept, we complete the title transfer together and pay you the same day, using the payment method agreed in writing.
Got a quote from the big guys? Let us beat it.
We buy cars to resell them ourselves, not to flip them at auction. That is why we can often pay more than the national online buyers — on everyday cars, trucks and SUVs of every age and mileage.
- All makes, models, ages and mileages
- Clean, lien, salvage and rebuilt titles reviewed
- Same-day payment when you accept
Already have a CarMax, Carvana, or other written offer?
Upload it and give us a chance to beat it. We’ll review your vehicle and let you know whether we can offer more — no obligation.
Beating another offer is not guaranteed. Our purchase offer is subject to vehicle inspection and verification. See how we compare to CarMax, Carvana and trade-in →
Why Carfornia Buyers
A small business that does what it says.
We are a veteran-owned car buyer based in Hayward, not a lead-generation marketplace. Your information stays with us, and the person who inspects your car is the person who makes the offer.
About the businessA real offer, in writing
We never quote a number online and change it at pickup. The offer comes after we see the car, and it comes in writing.
Straight talk on paperwork
We walk you through the title transfer and the DMV release of liability so nothing is left hanging.
Local and accountable
We are in Hayward and serve the Bay Area and surrounding areas. You can call the owner directly.
Loans and tricky titles
Tell us about a loan, salvage or lost title up front and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
