How it works

How Yank and Bank works, start to finish

Four steps to sell my car for cash: no hauling and no waiting for a check in the mail. Here’s exactly what to expect.

  1. Request a quote

    Fill out the instant quote form with your car’s year, make, model, mileage and condition, plus your ZIP code and phone number. It takes about a minute, and you’ll see an estimated cash range immediately.

  2. Get your offer

    We follow up to confirm a few details, such as whether the car has all its major parts and where it’s parked, and give you our offer. There’s no obligation, and you can take time to think it over.

  3. We pick it up for free

    Once you accept, we schedule a pickup at a time that works for you, at your home, workplace, a repair shop or wherever the car is sitting. Towing is free, and the car doesn’t need to run.

  4. You get paid on the spot

    When we arrive, we take a quick look to confirm the car matches what you described, sign the paperwork with you and pay you right there before we tow it away.

What you’ll need

What to have ready at pickup

Every situation is a little different. These are the usual items, and we’ll confirm exactly what’s needed for your car before we arrive.

  • The vehicle title, if you have it, signed over at pickup. We’ll show you where to sign.
  • A valid photo ID for the person whose name is on the title.
  • Keys, if you still have them. Missing keys usually aren’t a problem, but let us know.
  • Your personal items removed from the car, including the glove box and trunk.

Lost title or not sure what you have? Tell us when you request your quote. We’ll walk you through the paperwork options for your situation before pickup. We can’t give legal advice, but we’ll point you to the right next step.

Conditions we accept

Yes, we’ll take that one too

We buy cars, trucks, SUVs and vans in just about any shape.

  • Bad transmission

Be upfront about missing parts, such as the engine, catalytic converter or wheels. It affects the price, and an accurate description means the offer you get online is closer to the cash you get at pickup.
