How it works in Palo Alto
Three steps. No driving to a dealership.
Request an offer online
Enter your VIN or plate, mileage and condition. Takes two minutes. It is a request, not a purchase offer — nothing is binding.
We come to you in Palo Alto
We call or text to confirm details, then drive out for a 15–30 minute inspection at your home or office. Hayward to Palo Alto is about 30 minutes via the Dumbarton Bridge (CA-84). There is no charge for us to come out.
Written offer, same-day payment
You get a real offer in writing on the spot. Accept, and we complete the California title paperwork together and pay you the same day.
Why Palo Alto sellers choose us
A real buyer, not a lead form that gets sold to five dealers.
- Late-model EVs and luxury cars as well as everyday commuters — all makes and models, any age or mileage.
- We resell cars ourselves instead of sending them to auction, so we can often pay more than national online buyers.
- Already have a CarMax or Carvana number? Upload it and we will tell you honestly whether we can beat it.
- Real written offer after a 15–30 minute inspection at your home or office. You are never obligated to accept.
