Cash for Cars Anywhere in Minnesota

Get Cash Cars buys cars, trucks, SUVs, vans and motorcycles for cash anywhere in Minnesota, from Minneapolis and Saint Paul to St. Cloud, Rochester and Duluth. Tell us about your vehicle and you’ll usually have a free, no-obligation offer in about 15 minutes. We tow it away free — often the same day in the Twin Cities metro — and you’re paid on the spot before it leaves your driveway.

It doesn’t matter whether the car runs, has a salvage title, failed its transmission last week or has been sitting under snow since last winter. If it has wheels and you want it gone, we want to make you an offer.

Why do Minnesota sellers choose Get Cash Cars?

Selling a car shouldn’t take a month of messages, test drives and no-shows. We built Get Cash Cars around the things sellers tell us they actually care about: a fair offer, a quick pickup and getting paid without any games.

A real offer, fast

Share the year, make, model, mileage and condition, and we’ll usually have an offer back to you in about 15 minutes. There’s no obligation. If the number works for you, we schedule pickup. If it doesn’t, you’ve lost nothing but a few minutes.

Free towing, wherever the car sits

Pickup is always free. We tow from driveways, garages, back alleys, apartment lots, farm fields and the street. In the Twin Cities metro same-day pickup is often available. In Greater Minnesota, pickup is usually same-day or next-day depending on where you are.

Paid on the spot

You get paid at pickup, before the vehicle is hooked up and towed away. No waiting for a check in the mail, no payment apps, no “we’ll settle up later.”

Any condition, any title situation

We buy running cars and dead ones, wrecked and flood-damaged vehicles, high-mileage commuters and project cars that never got finished. Salvage and rebuilt titles are fine. If you’ve lost the title or still owe on a loan, call (763) 226-3586 and we’ll walk through your options.

Help with the paperwork

We help you fill out the title and bill of sale correctly, and when there’s a loan we can often pay off the lender directly. You’ll know exactly what to sign and what to do after the sale.

Open when you are

We answer 7 days a week, 7 AM – 9 PM, so you can get a quote on a Sunday morning or after work on a weekday.

How does selling your car to us work?

Most sales take three short steps. You can start online or by phone, and you don’t have to drive anywhere.

First, tell us about the vehicle — online or by calling (763) 226-3586. Second, accept your offer and pick a pickup time that suits you. Third, sign the title, get paid on the spot and watch the tow truck do the rest. For a full walk-through, see how our car buying process works.

What vehicles do we buy?

We buy just about anything with a Minnesota title (and plenty of situations without one). That includes:

• Cars of every age, from late-model sedans to 30-year-old beaters
• Pickup trucks, work trucks and farm trucks
• SUVs and crossovers
• Minivans, cargo vans and passenger vans
• Motorcycles

Condition isn’t a dealbreaker. We regularly buy vehicles with blown engines, slipping transmissions, hail and flood damage, fire damage, frame rust from years of Minnesota road salt, and cars that simply haven’t moved in years. See the full list of vehicles we buy, and remember that junk and non-running cars are welcome too.

How much is my car worth?

Every offer is based on the specific vehicle in front of us, so we don’t publish price lists or promise a number up front. What we can tell you is exactly what moves an offer up or down.

Year, make and model. Some vehicles hold value well and have strong demand for reusable parts. Others are worth mainly their weight in metal.

Whether it runs and drives. A car that starts and moves under its own power is usually worth more than one that needs to be winched onto a flatbed — but non-running cars still get real offers.

Mileage and mechanical condition. Engine and transmission health matter a lot. A failed engine lowers the offer; it doesn’t end the conversation.

Body damage and rust. Collision damage, hail dents and rust on frames, brake lines and rocker panels all factor in. Minnesota winters are hard on undercarriages, and we account for that honestly.

Complete vs. stripped. A vehicle with its catalytic converter, battery, wheels and major parts intact is worth more than one that’s been picked over.

Weight and current metal prices. For true end-of-life vehicles, scrap value depends mostly on how heavy the vehicle is and what metal is trading for that week.

Title status. A clean title in your name makes things simplest. Salvage, rebuilt or missing titles can still work but may affect the offer.

If you’re not sure how your car stacks up, just describe it honestly when you ask for a quote. Accurate details mean an accurate offer — and no surprises at pickup.

What paperwork do I need to sell a car in Minnesota?

Selling a car in Minnesota is simpler than most people expect. Here’s the short version:

• The title. Every owner listed on the title needs to sign it. If there’s a lien, it must be released before ownership transfers — we can often pay your lender directly.
• Odometer disclosure. For vehicles model year 2011 and newer, the mileage must be recorded on the title transfer.
• Report the sale. You should report the sale to Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) within 10 days, online or at a deputy registrar office.
• License plates. Standard Minnesota plates generally stay with the vehicle when it’s sold. Personalized or special plates can usually be kept — confirm with DVS.
• After the sale. Cancel your insurance, remove any toll transponder and clear out personal items.

Lost your title? You can apply for a duplicate through DVS or a deputy registrar, and in some cases there are other options — see our page on selling a car without a title. For the complete picture, read our guide to selling a car in Minnesota. For anything we haven’t covered here, check with Minnesota DVS.

Where do we buy cars in Minnesota?

We buy vehicles statewide. Wherever you are, the process is the same: free offer, free towing, paid on the spot. What changes is how quickly we can get a truck to you.

Twin Cities metro

Across Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the surrounding suburbs, same-day pickup is often available. We regularly tow from tight city alleys in Minneapolis and detached garages in Saint Paul, commuter driveways in Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove, and family homes in Bloomington, Eagan and Woodbury — along with every suburb in between.

Greater Minnesota

Outside the metro, pickup is usually same-day or next-day depending on your location. We buy cars in St. Cloud, Rochester, Mankato and Duluth, plus the small towns, lake properties and farms around them. If you’re farther out, give us a call and we’ll give you a realistic pickup window.

Don’t see your town? We likely still cover it. Call (763) 226-3586 and we’ll confirm coverage and a pickup window.

Dealer trade-in, private sale or cash car buyer: which is right for you?

There’s more than one way to sell a car in Minnesota. Each option fits a different situation, and an honest comparison will help you pick the right one.

Dealer trade-in

A trade-in is convenient when you’re buying another vehicle from the same dealer. You drop off the old car and drive away in the new one. The downside: dealers generally want vehicles they can resell on their lot, so older, high-mileage or damaged cars may get a low trade value — or be turned away. Trade-in value can also get blended into the larger negotiation, making it hard to tell what you really got.

Private sale

Selling privately can bring the highest price for a clean, running, desirable vehicle. It also takes the most work: photos, listings, answering messages, test drives with strangers, haggling and handling the title transfer yourself. Private buyers rarely want a car that doesn’t run, and you’ll want to watch for common car selling scams, like fake payments and overpayment schemes.

Cash car buyer

A cash buyer like Get Cash Cars is built for speed and certainty. You get an offer in minutes, free towing and payment on the spot, and it works for vehicles dealers and private buyers won’t touch — non-running, wrecked, rusted or titled as salvage. For a healthy late-model car, a private sale may net more if you have the time. For everything else, or when you just want it done this week, a cash buyer usually makes the most sense.
