Sell your Toyota RAV4. Running or not.
Clean daily driver, a RAV4 with a dead transmission, or one that met a guardrail on I-95 — here’s what it’s actually worth to a buyer that tows it, fixes it, and ships it.
Cash appraisal
Live SoFlo pricingWhat a buyer actually looks at.
A compact crossover suv at roughly 3,485 lb — about 1.74 tons of steel and aluminum — sets the floor. On top of that sits the catalyst (High-Grade OEM Toyota SUV Catalyst) and, most importantly, demand: Extreme (#1 Small SUV for Caribbean & Latin American export containers).
That’s why a broken RAV4 with a clean body is worth far more to us than to a scrap yard. Our shop and parts network can fix it or part it out; the container ships out of Port Everglades or the Port of Miami either way.

Three kinds of car. One phone call.
The old site made it sound like we only took junk. We don’t. Here is exactly what we buy, and how each one gets priced.
Clean running cars
Daily drivers, paid-off SUVs, financed trucks with equity. We price against what dealers will actually give you on trade and aim to beat it — typically by up to 7% — without the two-hour wait or the “reconditioning” deductions. If there’s a loan, we pay the lender directly and you get the difference.
Inspection in your driveway
Mechanic specials, collision & flood
Blown head gasket, slipping CVT, deployed airbags, a car that sat in king-tide water on Las Olas. Our own body shop and parts network means a broken car is still worth real money to us — far more than its scrap weight.
Collision · flood · salvage title
Junk, non-running & lost paper title
Dead in the driveway with a code-enforcement sticker on it? Title lost years ago? Most Florida titles now live electronically (FL Electronic Title / ELT), and we can check the record in minutes. For cars 10+ model years old, FL Statute 319.30 lets the registered owner sign a Derelict Motor Vehicle Certificate (HSMV 82101) with valid ID — we bring the form.
Free tow · plate stays with you
Every tier is paid at pickup: cash, instant Zelle or wire, or certified check — your choice.
Instead of a 1-800 broker who’s never seen your car.
Most “we buy any car” numbers you find online aren’t buyers. They’re call centers that take your details, sell the lead to whoever bids highest, and let a stranger show up to knock $400 off at the curb.
We’re a South Florida operation working out of Hollywood, FL, and we own the steps in between. The person quoting your car works next to the people who will tow it, fix it, or part it out. That’s why the number we give you on the phone is the number we pay in your driveway.
The quote you get on the phone is the quote you get paid.
Our own South Florida fleet
Tow Truck Cheap
Our own South Florida flatbed and wheel-lift towing fleet. These are the trucks that show up at your driveway, so there is no third-party tow company taking a cut.
PowerStart Mobile Batteries
Mobile battery and jump-start crews. A car that simply will not crank gets a real diagnosis before anyone prices it as junk.
East Coast Collision & Restoration
Our body and restoration shop. It is the reason we can pay real money for collision and mechanic-special cars instead of scrap weight.
Keys in one hand, money in the other.
No “check in the mail,” no waiting for a wholesaler to clear funds. When the driver arrives in South Florida he looks the car over against your description, you sign the title (or the HSMV 82101 if there’s no paper), and you choose how to get paid.
Straight answers.
What's a non-running Toyota RAV4 worth in South Florida?
At 3,485 lb with a High-Grade OEM Toyota SUV Catalyst, a complete non-running Toyota RAV4 typically brings $430 – $760. If it's repairable, we price it as a mechanic special at $1,300 – $3,900.
Will you buy a Toyota RAV4 with a bad engine or transmission?
Yes — that's most of the 2006–2024 Toyota RAV4s we buy. Problems like 2006–2008 2AZ-FE 2.4L excessive oil consumption and piston ring wear or 2013–2015 U760E torque converter shudder between 35–45 mph don't make it junk to us. Export and parts demand (Extreme (#1 Small SUV for Caribbean & Latin American export containers)) keeps rolling shells valuable.
I have a clean, running Toyota RAV4. Why not just trade it in?
You can. We usually come in up to 7% over a dealer trade-in on a clean Toyota RAV4 — currently $4,100 – $16,800 depending on year and miles — and we come to you, pay off any loan, and pay by cash, Zelle/wire or certified check.
