Minneapolis, St. Paul and the metro

Talk directly with a local vehicle buyer

Merritt’s has served vehicle owners since 1988. Call or text during daily business hours to discuss your car and its pickup location.

We explain the offer, any removal charges, payment arrangements, and documents before you decide. A pickup window is agreed after the vehicle and access have been reviewed.

A cash offer based on your actual vehicle

The year, make, model, condition, and completeness help us evaluate the vehicle. Tell us about collision damage, major mechanical problems, flat tires, removed components, or missing keys. A current photo can make those details easier to explain.

The pickup setting matters too. Include the city and whether the car is in a driveway, garage, ramp, repair-shop lot, or another location. We consider those details before confirming the offer.

What to send by phone or text

Start with the basics. You do not need to pay for repairs or new diagnostics just to ask about selling the car.

  • Year, make, model, and known condition
  • Pickup city and parking setting
  • Whether it starts, rolls, and steers
  • Major damage or missing components
  • Title, lien, and key status

Know what you would actually receive

Compare the full agreement, not just a headline number. Ask whether removal has a charge, what conditions could change the offer, how payment will be handled, and which documents are needed.

Once you accept the terms, we coordinate access and a pickup window. Remove personal belongings and have the agreed documents ready. You choose whether to proceed after the details are clear.

Common questions

Before you sell your vehicle

How much will you pay for my junk car?

The offer depends on the vehicle, its completeness and condition, the pickup location and access, and current demand. Merritt’s explains the offer and any removal charges directly so you can compare the full terms before accepting.

Do you consider cars that do not run?

Yes. Tell us what is wrong, whether all wheels are present, and whether the vehicle rolls and steers. We review non-running and damaged vehicles individually and discuss a suitable pickup plan.

Can I sell a car without a title or keys?

Tell us about missing documents or keys before scheduling. Ownership documents and loading access are separate questions. We explain what is needed for your situation; missing-title acceptance is not automatic. Use Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services for official title guidance.

Is pickup free, and how soon can it happen?

Ask about removal costs when we discuss the offer. We confirm any charges and a pickup window for the actual vehicle, location, access, and schedule before you agree. Same-day availability and free pickup are not guaranteed for every job.
