Why Markham drivers sell to us instead of listing online
Lots of reasons lead to selling a car that still runs. Maybe you've started taking the Stouffville GO train from Unionville or Mount Joy, or you now work from home a few days a week, and the second car mostly sits. Maybe a new family vehicle just arrived and the old one is in the way. Listing it online means photos, price debates and test drives with strangers.
We make one firm offer and pick the car up wherever it's parked: a driveway in Angus Glen, a Milliken Mills townhouse lot or the parking garage at your office.
-
One offer, no haggling
We give you a firm number based on what you tell us. If the car matches, that's what you're paid. No back-and-forth and no lowball surprises at the curb.
-
Priced as a used car
We look at age, mileage, condition and how popular the model is, not its weight in steel. Newer, well-kept cars can be worth up to $10,000.
-
Safety not required
Your car doesn't need a safety certificate to sell to us. We'll take it as it is and factor any repairs into the price.
-
Paid before we leave
Cash on the spot, once the paperwork is signed. No waiting on bank drafts or on buyers who need to arrange a loan first.
-
We'll beat written offers
Holding a dealer quote or a higher bid in writing? Bring it to the call. Best offer guaranteed: we’ll beat any written offer.
-
Pickup on your schedule
Weekday evenings and Saturdays are open, and a morning call often means an afternoon pickup.
What we look at when pricing your car
A used-car offer depends on more than the year. Here's what moves the number.
- Model year Newer cars hold more value, especially popular models.
- Odometer reading Fewer kilometres usually means a higher offer, but high-mileage cars that run well still sell.
- How it drives Smooth shifting, good brakes and no warning lights all help.
- Rust and body damage Surface rust and dents reduce the price; structural rust reduces it more.
- Previous accidents Major repairs or a branded vehicle history change how a car is valued.
- Drivetrain and trim All-wheel drive, hybrid systems and higher trim levels add value.
- Service history Receipts for recent brakes, tires or a timing belt back up the car's condition.
- Spare keys and extras A second key fob and a set of winter tires on rims can nudge the offer up.
Sell my car in Markham in 3 steps
No listing, no waiting for buyers. Just this:
-
Step 1: Share the details
Call (289) 349-2006 or use the form. We'll ask about the year, make, model, trim, kilometres and any issues. Photos aren't required, but honest answers keep the offer firm. You'll hear back with a number in about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2: Pick a time and place
We'll come to your home, your workplace or any spot in Markham where the car is parked. Morning calls can often be picked up the same day, and we're out Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m..
-
Step 3: Hand over the keys, take the cash
The driver looks the car over, you sign the ownership and bill of sale, and you're paid cash on the spot. Pull your plates and personal items first. The whole visit takes about 30 minutes.
Us vs a private sale or a dealer trade-in
Every option has a catch. Here's the side-by-side for a car that still runs.
| Feature | Top Cash 4 Cars | Private sale (Kijiji / Marketplace) | Dealer trade-in | Driving it to a scrapyard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free towing | Yes, always | No | Rarely | You get it there |
| Buys non-running cars | Yes | Rarely | Almost never | Yes |
| Paid on the spot | Yes, cash | Depends on the buyer | Credit toward a new car | Yes |
| Time to sell | Same day in most areas | Weeks | 1–3 days | Your schedule |
| Paperwork handled | Yes | You do it | Yes | Partly |
| Beat-any-offer guarantee | Yes | No | No | No |
| Risk of no-shows or scams | None | High | Low | None |
Private buyers in Markham may pay a bit more for a spotless, low-kilometre car, but you'll handle the ads, test drives and paperwork yourself. Dealers make it easy, but trade-in offers are usually low and come as credit. For most running cars with some age or wear, our firm cash offer is the simpler option. Our scrap vs sell vs trade-in guide breaks it down.
Selling a company car or work van in Markham
Markham has a lot of businesses in the office and industrial parks along Highway 404 and Highway 7, and their cars, vans and pickups eventually need replacing. If your company is turning over a vehicle, we buy it the same way we buy from individuals: a firm offer, a pickup at your lot and payment on the spot.
We'll need the ownership in the company's name and someone with signing authority at pickup. Selling several vehicles at once is fine, and we can usually quote them together. Our commercial vehicle service has more on fleet and work vehicles, and cash for trucks covers pickups and vans.
Paperwork when you sell a car that still runs
A few documents and steps make the sale official.
Bring the ownership
The ownership (vehicle permit) is how the car changes hands. You'll sign the transfer section with the driver, so make sure your name matches your photo ID. If the ownership lists two names, ask us who needs to sign before pickup day.
The UVIP question
Ontario requires private sellers to give buyers a Used Vehicle Information Package. Selling to us spares you most of the private-sale legwork, and we'll tell you exactly which documents to bring. The Ontario selling checklist explains every step.
Liens and outstanding loans
If there's a lien on the car, it has to be paid off or disclosed before the sale. Call us with your lender's name and the payout amount, and we'll walk you through whether a sale makes sense right now. See our guide to selling with a lien.
Plates, insurance and the receipt
Remove your licence plates before the car leaves. In Ontario they're yours, so keep them for your next car or return them to ServiceOntario. Then cancel or transfer your insurance, and keep the bill of sale for your records.
Questions about selling your car in Markham
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
What's my car worth if I sell it in Markham?
Running used cars can be worth up to $10,000, depending on the year, kilometres, condition and how much demand there is for the model. Call (289) 349-2006 with the details for a firm offer in about 3 minutes. There's no charge and no obligation.
Do you buy cars with high mileage?
Yes. A car with 250,000 km or more can still get a used-car offer if it starts, drives and stops properly. Kilometres lower the price, but a well-maintained high-mileage car is worth more than scrap. Tell us about recent repairs, since they add value.
Can I sell my car without a safety certificate?
Yes. You don't need one to sell to us. We buy cars as they are and price in any repairs they need. That saves you the cost of a safety inspection and the work needed to pass it.
Can you meet me at work in Markham?
Yes. We can pick up from an office park along Highway 7 or Highway 404, a plaza lot or a parking garage, as long as the property allows it. Bring the ownership and photo ID, and plan on about half an hour.
Do you buy cars with a loan still on them?
It depends. The lien has to be paid off or disclosed before the sale can go ahead. Call us with the lender and payout details, and we'll explain your options and whether selling now works for you.
Is a dealer trade-in a better deal?
Not usually for older or high-kilometre cars. Trade-in values on those tend to be low, and the money only counts toward your next purchase. Our offer is paid in cash. Bring us a dealer's written trade-in number and we'll beat it.
Do I have to accept the offer right away?
No. Our offers are free and come with no obligation. Take time to think it over or compare it with other quotes. When you're ready, call back and we'll book the pickup at a time that suits you.
What if my car has been in an accident?
We'll still make an offer. Tell us what happened, what was repaired and whether the vehicle's history was branded after an insurance claim. Past accident damage changes the value, but if the car runs and drives, it still gets a used-car price rather than a scrap price.
Can I sell a car that's registered to my spouse?
Yes, but the person named on the ownership needs to sign. The easiest way is for them to be there at pickup with their photo ID. If that isn't possible, call us first and we'll tell you what we'd need to complete the sale.
