Vehicles We Just Bought From Sellers Like You
Real vehicles, real purchases — wrecked, totaled, and non-running. Every offer is built on actual purchase data, not scrap-weight math.
Four Freeways, One University, a Lot of Wrecked Cars
Tempe packs the I-10, US-60, Loop 101, and Loop 202 into a few square miles around the largest university campus in the country. The result:
- The Broadway Curve. The I-10 through Tempe is one of the heaviest-traveled stretches of freeway in Arizona. Years of construction, lane shifts, and merging traffic have made the Curve a daily collision generator — and a steady source of drivable-but-totaled sedans.
- The US-60 / I-10 / 101 / 202 knot. Every East Valley commute threads through Tempe. Interchange rear-enders at freeway speed routinely total late-model vehicles that still look fine from ten feet away.
- Student and apartment life. Tight apartment garages near ASU, street parking off Mill and Apache, light-rail-corridor traffic — Tempe cars take abuse. If yours got hit while parked and the other party’s insurance totaled it, get our offer before settling.
- Graduating or moving out? Every May and December, students and grads need a damaged or non-running car gone fast. We pick up from apartment complexes and campus-area garages, pay on the spot, and handle the Arizona paperwork with you — including the notarized title.

The Arizona Part — We Handle It With You
Arizona requires your title signature to be notarized (don’t sign until you’re in front of a notary), your license plate stays with you, and you file a free MVD Sold Notice within 10 days to end your liability. We walk every Tempe seller through all three.
Tempe Sellers Ask Us
I’m an ASU student and my parents are on the title. Can I still sell?
The registered owner needs to sign the title in front of a notary — Arizona requires it. If the title’s in a parent’s name, we’ll walk you both through it; out-of-state notarization on their end works too. Don’t sign anything until you’re in front of a notary.
Can you get a dead car out of my apartment complex garage?
Yes — tight garages, assigned spots, and gated complexes near campus are routine for us. Tell us the clearance and access details when you accept the offer and we’ll send the right truck.
Do I need my title notarized in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona requires the seller’s signature on the vehicle title to be notarized — it’s one of the only states that does. Don’t sign the title until you’re in front of a notary. We walk every seller through exactly where and when to sign.
Do you charge for towing or pickup?
Never. Pickup is free everywhere we buy, with no fees and no deductions when the driver arrives. The offer you accept is the amount you’re paid.
What do I do after the sale?
Keep your license plate — in Arizona the plate stays with the seller, not the car — and file a free Sold Notice with the Arizona MVD within 10 days. It takes two minutes online and ends your liability for the vehicle. We remind every seller at pickup.
How is this different from a junkyard?
Junkyards pay scrap weight — often a few hundred dollars regardless of what the car is. We’re the direct buyer: we price your specific vehicle on real market data. On a late-model wrecked vehicle, the difference is usually thousands.
Where We Pick Up in Tempe
Downtown Tempe and Mill Avenue, the ASU campus area, Maple-Ash, University Park, North Tempe and Tempe Town Lake, McClintock corridor, The Lakes, Warner Ranch, South Tempe — plus the Guadalupe and west Mesa borders.
