Catalytic converter theft
LA County has seen a wave of converter thefts, especially from hybrids and trucks. A missing converter means a failed smog check. We buy cars without one.

Los Angeles County
Eighty-eight cities, one way to sell.
Los Angeles County is home to roughly ten million people and 88 incorporated cities, plus big unincorporated areas like East LA and Altadena. It is also one of the most car-dependent places in the country. That means a huge used car market, and a lot of people trying to sell at the same time on the same apps.
Selling privately here means competing with thousands of listings, meeting strangers in parking lots and fielding lowball offers. Trading in at a dealership on one of the county’s many auto rows is faster, but the number is usually tied to buying something else. Carquired gives you a third option: one cash offer, no obligation, and we come to you.
Whether your car is parked on a permit street in Silver Lake, in an apartment garage in Koreatown or on a driveway in Lancaster, the process is the same. Fill in the form, pick a time, and get paid at pickup.
Local know-how
What LA County sellers should know.
Street parking and tickets
If your car lives on the street, sell it before the next street-sweeping ticket. Once you file the release of liability, later tickets are not on you.
Lease capital of the country
Southern California leases more cars than most of the US. If yours is a lease, check whether it has equity. See leased cars.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Not seeing yours? Start the form anyway. A real person reviews every offer and will answer anything when they reach out.
Do you buy cars in every part of LA County?
We buy across the county, from Long Beach to Lancaster. Put your ZIP code in the form to confirm.
Is pickup free in the Antelope Valley too?
Yes. Pickup is free across our service area.
Can you pick up from an apartment garage?
Yes. Just let us know about gate codes or parking levels when we book.
Can I sell a car that has parking tickets?
Yes. Tickets are tied to the registered owner, so it is best to resolve them. File the release of liability with the DMV on the day you sell, so any new tickets are not sent to you.
