Sell Your Car for Cash Without the Hassle
Private sales take time you might not have. You write the ad, answer the same questions again and again, wait for people who never show up, and still worry about how they will pay. Dealers often offer very little for an older or damaged car, if they take it at all.
Our cash for cars service in Richmond skips all of that. You tell us about the car, we give you a number, and if you say yes, our own truck comes to you. No ads, no strangers in your driveway and no waiting for a cheque to clear.
Three Ways to Sell a Car in Richmond
| Sell to Brighouse Commercial | Sell privately | Trade in at a dealer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Same day or next day, on your schedule | Days to weeks | Same day, if you buy from them |
| Effort | One call or form | Photos, ads, calls, viewings | Visit the dealer, negotiate |
| Damaged or not running | Yes, we buy it | Very hard to sell | Often refused or valued very low |
| Getting it there | We pick it up, free towing on most pickups | Buyer comes to you | You drive it in |
| Payment | Cash or e-Transfer before we leave | Risk of fake payments | Credit toward another car |
If your car is close to the end of its life, our scrap car removal Richmond page explains how we handle older cars that are ready to go.
Cars We Buy for Cash
Used and Older Cars
High kilometres, worn interior, faded paint or simply a car you no longer need. If it is in your name and paid off, we want to hear about it.
Cars That Do Not Run
Dead battery, failed engine, bad transmission or a car that has sat for months. We tow it at no cost on most pickups. See our damaged and non running car removal page for more.
Accident Damaged Cars
Body damage, deployed airbags or frame damage. You do not need to fix anything before selling.
ICBC Write Offs
If ICBC has written off your car and you have kept it, or you bought it back, we can make an offer on it.
Salvage Branded Cars
Cars with a salvage brand on their history are harder to sell privately. We buy them and handle the pickup.
Trucks, SUVs and Vans
Pickups, SUVs, minivans and passenger vans are all welcome. For work vans, box trucks and fleets, visit our commercial vehicle removal page.
How Much Cash Will I Get for My Car?
Offers usually start at around $200. The final number depends on the car’s condition and on current metal prices. We set the exact amount only after you share the details, so the number you hear is based on your car and not a guess.
Things that help your offer
- The car still starts and drives
- All the main parts are in place, including the engine, transmission, wheels and catalytic converter
- A newer model year
- A larger, heavier vehicle such as a truck, SUV or van
- Easy access for our truck
Things that lower an offer
- Missing parts
- Heavy damage to the body or frame
- Hard to reach parking spots

Getting Paid: Simple and Safe
Payment is where most private sales go wrong. With us, it is the simplest part.
You Know the Amount First
We agree on the offer before we book the pickup. Nothing is left to bargain over at your door.
The Driver Checks the Car
Our driver confirms the car matches the photos and details you sent. If it does, the offer stands exactly as agreed.
You Are Paid on the Spot
We pay by cash or e-Transfer, before the car is loaded and before we leave.
Our quote promise
Our Quote Promise
The offer we give you is the offer we pay, as long as the car matches what you described. The only things that change an offer are a major part missing that was not mentioned, a different vehicle at pickup, or paperwork that is not available. If anything does not match, our driver explains it before any paperwork is signed, and you are free to say no.
What You Need to Sell Your Car
We buy cars with clear ownership only. That keeps the sale clean for you and for us.
- Registration in your name: the signed vehicle registration (APV250). The car must be registered to the person selling it.
- No loan or lien: the car must be fully paid off.
- Photo ID: matching the name on the registration.
- Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T): we bring it and fill it in with you at pickup, with original signatures on all four pages.
- Your plates: remove them before the car leaves. Return them to an Autoplan broker if you will not use them again, and cancel or move your Autoplan policy.
Selling for someone who has passed away? We can buy the car when the executor shows legal authority to sell it.
Our BC paperwork guide explains every step in plain words.

Cash for Cars FAQ
Do you buy cars that still run?
Yes. We buy running cars as well as cars that do not start. A car that runs and drives usually gets a higher offer, because it is in better overall condition. Send the year, make, model, kilometres and photos, and Brighouse Commercial will give you a clear cash offer before we book a pickup.
Do you buy ICBC write offs and salvage branded cars?
Yes. We buy cars that ICBC has written off, as long as you own the car and the registration is in your name. We also buy cars with a salvage brand, which are often hard to sell privately. Tell us about the damage when you ask for an offer so the number we give you is accurate.
How do you pay?
We pay by cash or e-Transfer. Payment happens at pickup, before the car is loaded and before our truck leaves. You never wait for a cheque in the mail or worry about a payment that does not arrive.
Can I sell a car that still has a loan on it?
No. We only buy cars with clear ownership, which means the car must be fully paid off and registered in your name. Once the loan is paid and the lien is removed, we are happy to make you an offer.
Can I sell a car if I lost the registration?
We need the registration to buy the car, because it proves the car is yours. If you have lost it, get a replacement from an Autoplan broker first, then call us for an offer.
Can I sell a car that belonged to someone who passed away?
Yes, when the executor shows legal authority to sell it. Let us know when you call, and we will confirm what to have ready on pickup day so the sale goes smoothly.
Is there a charge for towing?
Towing is free on most pickups within our service area. If a car is somewhere unusual or outside our normal area, we tell you before booking if anything is different. You always know the terms before you agree to a time.
How quickly can I sell my car?
Pickups are available same day or next day, depending on your schedule. We are open from 8 am to 11 pm every day, so you can sell your car early in the morning or after work.
