We buy cars. We pay more. We keep our word.

Carfornia Buyers is a veteran-owned car-buying business based in Hayward, California. With more than 25 years in the business and over 3,000 cars bought, we buy cars directly from Bay Area owners and pay the same day.

How we work.

When you submit your car on this site, it comes straight to us — not to a call center or a list of dealers. We review your details, call you back, and arrange a time to see the car in person.

We buy cars to resell them ourselves, not to send them to auction, which is why we can often pay more than the national online buyers. Older, high-mileage, lien, salvage and rebuilt-title cars are all welcome.

After the inspection you get an actual offer in writing. If you accept, we handle the title paperwork with you and pay you the same day. If you don’t, no hard feelings.

What you can hold us to.

Top dollar, in writing

Same-day payment

Once you accept and the paperwork is done, you are paid the same day using the method we agreed on.

Satisfaction guaranteed

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you’re not happy with how we handled your sale, tell us and we’ll make it right.
