Do you buy cars that don’t run?

Yes. We buy vehicles in any condition — running or not. Whether your car has a blown engine, transmission failure, flood damage, fire damage, or has simply been sitting in your yard for years, we will make you an offer. The condition of the vehicle does not disqualify it from our program.

What types of vehicles do you buy?

We buy cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans of virtually any make, model, or year. This includes domestic and foreign vehicles, high-mileage cars, salvage title vehicles, vehicles with major mechanical issues, and cars that have been in accidents. If it has a VIN, we’re interested.

How do you pay — is it actually cash?

Yes. We pay in cash at the time of pickup. You don’t have to wait for a check to clear, deal with third-party payment apps, or follow up for payment. When our driver arrives and the transaction is complete, you walk away with cash in hand the same day.

How fast is the process from quote to payment?

Most sellers go from first call to cash in hand within the same day. We can typically schedule pickup within a few hours of your accepted offer. Our goal is to make this the fastest and easiest transaction you’ve ever had for a vehicle.

Is there any fee for towing?

No. Towing is completely free throughout our entire service area. We cover Cedar Hill, Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Glen Heights, Lancaster, Midlothian, Ovilla, Red Oak, and surrounding communities at no cost to you.

Will you come to my home to pick up the car?

Yes. We come to your location — whether that’s your home, your workplace, a storage facility, or anywhere else the vehicle is located within our service area. You don’t need to arrange transportation or tow the car to us.

What happens after you pick up my car?

Vehicles we purchase are processed responsibly. Usable parts may be resold, and the remaining materials are recycled through licensed auto recyclers. We’re committed to environmentally responsible vehicle disposal, which keeps hazardous fluids and materials out of landfills and waterways.

Do I need the title to sell my car?

In most cases, yes — a valid title is required to legally transfer ownership of a vehicle in Texas. If you’ve lost your title, you can apply for a duplicate through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) before the sale. If you’re unsure about your title situation, call us and we can advise you on the best path forward.

What paperwork do I need to bring?

You’ll need your vehicle title and a valid government-issued photo ID. That’s it for most straightforward transactions. If there’s a lien on the vehicle, there may be additional steps — contact us and we’ll walk you through it.

Can I sell a car with a lien on it?

Yes, but the lien must be resolved as part of the sale. In some cases we can work with you to pay off the lien holder directly as part of the transaction. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we’ll tell you exactly what’s needed.

Can I sell a car that’s not in my name?

Generally, no — the seller must be the legal owner listed on the title. However, there are exceptions such as inherited vehicles or vehicles with a deceased owner. Contact us to discuss your situation and we can advise whether a sale is possible and what documentation would be required.

What areas do you serve?

We serve DeSoto and the surrounding South Dallas area including Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Lancaster, Dallas, Glen Heights, Midlothian, Ovilla, and Red Oak. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, call us — we’re often able to accommodate areas beyond our listed coverage.

Do you offer cash for cars in Dallas?

Yes. We regularly buy cars throughout the Dallas area, not just DeSoto. If you’re in Dallas or any of the surrounding communities in the South Dallas region, we can come to you for a same-day pickup and cash payment.

I’m just outside your listed service area — can you still help?

Call us and let us know your location. Depending on the vehicle and the distance, we may still be able to accommodate you. We’d rather you call and find out than assume we can’t help.

Is it better to sell my car to a junk yard or a cash for cars service?

Cash for cars services like ours typically offer more money than a traditional junkyard because we assess the full value of your vehicle — not just scrap weight. We also come to you, pay on the spot, and handle towing at no charge. Junkyards often require you to arrange your own transportation and may offer lower flat-rate payouts based solely on scrap metal value.

Should I sell my car privately or to Cash for Cars DeSoto?

Private sales can sometimes yield more money for vehicles in good condition, but they involve significant time investment — listing the vehicle, fielding calls, scheduling test drives, negotiating, and waiting for payment. If your car is older, high-mileage, damaged, or simply not worth the effort of a private sale, selling to us is faster, simpler, and completely hassle-free. Many sellers find the tradeoff well worth it.

How is Cash for Cars DeSoto different from other car buyers?

We’re locally owned and operated in DeSoto, TX — not a national chain or a faceless online buyer. That means you’re dealing with your neighbors, not a call center. We offer same-day service, free towing throughout the South Dallas area, cash payment on pickup, and a straightforward process with no hidden fees or last-minute lowball surprises.
