Cash for cars in Tulsa

Paid by check, not in bills

The money comes as a check, not a stack of bills. When we buy a car ourselves, we pay you by check. When a car goes through our partner's instant offer instead, that buyer says it “issues payment immediately by check” at pickup.

A check carries the payer's name and a bank behind it. Keep a copy of it with your copy of the sale papers.

We buy it, or we refer it

Every car starts the same way. You send us its details or call the Tulsa line, and a person here asks about it. From there it goes one of two ways.

• We buy it. We make you our own offer. If you accept, we arrange the tow and pay you by check.
• We refer it. Some cars are ones we don't buy. When yours is one of them, we tell you on the call and point you to our partner's instant offer online. That offer is free, with no obligation to take it. The partner arranges the pickup, covers its cost, and pays by check at pickup. When a sale goes through that route, this site is paid a referral fee.

You can ask for both and compare them. You can also turn down either one.

From the first call to the tow truck

1. Have the basics ready. Year, make, model, rough mileage, and the address where the car sits. Know whether it starts, whether it drives, and what the title says.
2. Answer a few questions. What is broken or missing? Is the title in your name? Is a loan still on it? Do you have a key?
3. Hear what we can do. You get either our own offer or the partner route. If you'd like to see a figure online first, try the partner's instant offer.
4. Set the pickup. The truck comes to the car. You don't need to start it, jump it, or push it to the street.
5. Hand it over. Sign the ownership papers, unbolt your plate, and take the check.

What sets the number

There is no figure on this page. A price for a car nobody has seen would be a guess. Three things move the number most:

• Condition. Dents, a cracked windshield, hail or flood damage, missing parts and high mileage all count. Describe the car as it sits today.
• Whether it runs and drives. These are two separate questions. A car can start and still not move under its own power. Say which one yours is.
• The title. A title in your name with no loan on it is the simplest sale. A missing title, an open lien or a salvage brand changes who can buy the car and what they can do with it.

An accurate description protects the number. A car that turns up different from its description gives any buyer a reason to rethink the offer. So mention the flat tire and the missing catalytic converter up front.

Cash for junk cars in Tulsa

Yes, we buy junk cars in Tulsa: dead, wrecked, stripped or rusted through. We don't buy every one, and the call is where you find out. If we pass, the partner route is still open to you.

A dead car left in the yard can also turn into a city matter, especially one up on blocks. The City of Tulsa's Code Enforcement page puts “Vehicles on blocks” in its Priority 1 group. When an inspector finds a violation, the page says “a legal notice is mailed to the property owner and other interested parties giving them 10 days to comply with the notice requirements.” If the order is ignored, the Code Officer sends the job to a contractor. When the City does that work, the owner is billed for it plus a $300 processing fee.

No title, or no keys

We look at cars with no title and cars with no keys. Not every one can be bought, so tell us which you have on the first call.

“No title” sometimes means a title you have never held. Service Oklahoma says “Beginning July 1, 2025, all titles will be issued electronically.” If your car was titled since then, the title may exist only as a state record. You can see it in your OkCARS account. You sell a car like that with Form 718, the Electronic Title Bill of Sale, which you print, fill out and have notarized.

A lost paper title is a different fix: a duplicate on Form 701-7. The title problems guide covers that, a lien, and a title still in a late owner's name.

No keys? A car without them can still go on a truck. Keys can change what a buyer offers, so say so before anyone names a figure.

Free towing anywhere in Tulsa

The car stays put until the truck arrives. Front yard, carport, back alley, apartment lot: give the address where it sits. When we buy it, we arrange the tow and it costs you nothing. When the partner buys it, that buyer arranges the pickup and covers its cost.

Tell us what the driver will face: flat tires, missing wheels, a locked gate, a narrow drive, or another car parked in front of it.

The Oklahoma paperwork, in one paragraph

Whoever buys the car, the state's rules are the same. You hand over a paper title signed in front of a notary, or a notarized Form 718 if the title is electronic. Take the plate off before the truck leaves, because Service Oklahoma tells sellers, “If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you keep your License Plate.” Under the Mason Treat Act, dealers and people in private sales must send pre-registration information within two business days of each sale, so ask the buyer who is sending it. The paperwork guide walks through each step, and the junk car guide covers salvage and junk titles and a car with no title record at all.

Call the Tulsa line, or get the partner offer

Call (539) 271-2021 or send us the car's details, and a person here tells you whether it's one we buy. If you'd rather see a number online first, the partner's instant offer is free and you don't have to take it.
