Why Florida sellers choose us
Built for the Florida market
Florida is a unique state for junk cars — flood damage from hurricanes, salt-air corrosion along the coasts, and a steady supply of older vehicles brought down from the Northeast. We understand this market and quote accordingly.
Flood & Storm Damage
After every named storm, we buy flood-damaged vehicles up and down the coast. Storm-damaged cars are not a problem — they are most of our Florida volume.
Salt-Air Rust
Coastal Florida cars often have undercarriage rust that totals them earlier than they would total in dry states. We quote based on what is salvageable, not on book value.
Florida Title Rules
Florida titles must be signed over with the seller's signature notarized only in some counties. We will tell you exactly what your county requires before pickup.
Same-Day Pickup
In our active Florida counties (Orange, Palm Beach), we offer same-day pickup on most quotes accepted before noon. Other counties typically next-day.
Wherever your car sits, there is a local Florida team ready for it: Hillsborough County (Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City), Orange County (Orlando), Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton) and Osceola County (Kissimmee, St. Cloud). More Florida counties are coming online through 2026.
How It Works
From quote to cash in 24 hours
The Florida process is the same as anywhere else: get a free quote, schedule the pickup, get paid in cash. The only Florida-specific step is title verification — some counties require notarization on the title transfer, and we will let you know if yours does.
- Pick your county above and tell us about your car — year, make, model, condition, location.
- Get your free cash offer based on current Florida scrap prices, demand for your parts, and your specific vehicle's condition.
- Accept the offer and schedule pickup. Most accepted quotes are picked up same-day or next-day.
- Sign the title, get the cash, watch it go. Free towing always. The price quoted is the price paid.
Florida Title Law
Selling a junk car under Florida Statute 319.30
Every junk car sale in Florida runs through Chapter 319 of the Florida Statutes, administered by the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department (FLHSMV). In the normal case you sign the certificate of title over to the buyer in the transfer section, the buyer pays you, and ownership changes hands. That is the cleanest path and the one most of our sellers use.
Where it gets Florida-specific is the derelict vehicle process. Under Florida Statute 319.30, a vehicle that is at least ten model years old and worth under $1,000 can be sold to a licensed salvage or scrap buyer using Form HSMV 82137 (Certificate of Destruction / Derelict Motor Vehicle Certificate) instead of a clean title. That is how genuinely dead cars — no engine, flood-totaled, sitting on blocks — move legally even when the paperwork is long gone.
If you simply lost the title to a car that still has value, you do not need the derelict path — you file Form HSMV 82101 for a duplicate Florida title, usually same-day at a county tax collector office. And once you sell or junk any vehicle, Florida law expects you to file a Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) within 30 days to release yourself from liability. Tell us up front what paperwork you have and what is missing; we will tell you exactly which of these three paths fits your car before we ever schedule a pickup.
What We Buy
The vehicles we see most in Florida
Florida's junk-car mix looks nothing like a snow-belt state. We see far more flood and storm damage, salt-air corrosion along both coasts, and out-of-state cars that snowbirds drove down and never drove home. Here is what comes through most often.
Hurricane & flood totals
After every named storm we buy waterlogged sedans, SUVs and trucks by the hundreds. A flooded car with a sound engine block and a clean title still carries real value — we price on what is salvageable, not on the high-water line.
Salt-air corrosion cars
Coastal Florida vehicles rust from the outside in. Cars in Tampa Bay, the Treasure Coast and the Keys often total earlier on body and undercarriage corrosion than they would inland. We buy them rusted and running or rusted and dead.
Snowbird trade-ins & abandoned cars
Older sedans driven south for the winter and left behind, estate cars, and second vehicles nobody wants to haul back north. These are some of the easiest pickups we do.
High-mileage daily drivers
Camrys, Accords, Altimas and Corollas with 180,000-plus miles and a transmission or AC failure that costs more to fix than the car is worth. Florida heat is hard on compressors — we see a lot of these.
Trucks & work vehicles
F-150s, Silverados, Ram 1500s, landscaping box trucks and contractor vans. Even with high miles and body damage these bring strong offers because of steady Florida demand for used parts.
Collision & mechanical totals
Cars with blown engines, failed transmissions, accident damage or a title branded salvage. Running or not, with a title or on the derelict path, we tow it free and pay cash at the curb.
Florida-Specific Questions
What Florida sellers ask most
How fast can you pick up my car in Florida?
In Orange County and Palm Beach County, same-day pickup is standard for quotes accepted before noon. Statewide, we typically pick up next-day. Remote or hurricane-impacted areas may take 2–3 days.
Do you buy flood-damaged cars in Florida?
Yes — flood damage is one of the most common conditions we buy in Florida. We pay based on what is salvageable. A flooded car with a good engine block and clean catalytic converter still brings real money.
What does Florida require on a title transfer?
The seller must sign and print their name on the Florida title in the transfer section. Some counties require the seller's signature to be notarized; others do not. We will tell you which applies before pickup so there are no day-of surprises.
I lost my Florida title. Can I still sell?
Yes. You can apply for a duplicate Florida title at your county tax collector's office (the FLHSMV agent) for around $75 same-day or by mail. We can wait while you get it, or in some cases work from registration with photo ID — depends on the buyer's preference in your county.
Do I have to remove my Florida plates?
Yes. Florida law requires plates to be removed before the vehicle leaves your possession. You then return them to the FLHSMV (or transfer to a new vehicle). Our driver will remind you and can hand them back if you forget to pull them in advance.
Can I sell a junk car in Florida without a title?
Often yes. Under Florida Statute 319.30, a vehicle at least ten model years old and worth under $1,000 can be sold to a licensed salvage buyer using Form HSMV 82137, the derelict motor vehicle certificate, instead of a clean title. If your car has value but you just lost the title, you file Form HSMV 82101 for a duplicate. Tell us what you have and we will route you to the right path.
Do I need to notify the Florida DMV after I junk my car?
Yes. Florida expects a Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) filed within 30 days of selling or junking the vehicle. It releases you from liability for anything that happens to the car after it leaves your driveway. You can file at a county tax collector office or online through FLHSMV.
How much is my junk car worth in Florida?
Most junk cars in Florida bring $200 to $1,500. The offer depends on year, make, model, condition, your location, the catalytic converter, and current scrap demand. Trucks, SUVs and complete vehicles bring the higher end; flood and storm cars are priced on what is salvageable. The quote you accept is the cash you are handed at pickup.
