Peddle

Question 1

What types of cars do you buy in New York?

Accepted Answer

All kinds. Daily drivers, older cars, inherited cars, high-mileage vehicles, cars that need work—if you own it and have the title, we’ll make you an offer. You don’t have to have a perfect car to get a fair one.

Question 2

How does Peddle determine the value of my car in New York?

Accepted Answer

We look at your car’s year, make, model, mileage, and condition. Be upfront about your car’s condition and your offer is yours—no surprises at pickup. It takes a few minutes to get your offer—no sign-up required.

Question 3

How do I get an offer?

Accepted Answer

Enter your car’s year, make, model, and answer a few quick questions about its condition. No account needed. You’ll see your offer immediately and have seven days to decide—no pressure.

Question 4

What documents do I need to sell my car in New York?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need your New York State Certificate of Title, signed over to the buyer. For vehicles under 10 years old, the odometer disclosure section on the title must be completed. If your title is lost, apply for a duplicate through the NY DMV (form MV-902) before we can complete the sale. Visit our help center for more information.

Question 5

Do I need to remove my license plates before selling in New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In New York, license plates belong to the owner—not the car. Remove your plates before or at the time of pickup. You can transfer them to your next vehicle or surrender them at a DMV office. Visit our help center for more information.

Question 6

Do I need to notify the New York DMV after I sell?

Accepted Answer

Yes. File a Notice of Sale (form MV-78B) with the NY DMV after the sale. It officially removes your name from the vehicle’s record and protects you from liability if something happens after pickup.

Question 7

Can the offer amount change? Can I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Your offer is valid for seven days—you’ve got time to think it over. If the car’s condition matches what you described when you got the offer, the price holds. If there are differences discovered at pickup, we’ll talk through it. As for changing your mind—totally fine. No pressure, no fees.

Question 8

When will my car be picked up? Do I need to be there?

Accepted Answer

Once you accept your offer, you’ll schedule a pickup time that works for you. Yes, you or someone you authorize needs to be present at pickup to hand over the title, receive the check, and sign off. Our pickup partner will do a quick condition check and you’ll be done.

Question 9

When do I get paid and how?

Accepted Answer

You get a check handed to you at the time of pickup—on the spot, right when your car is picked up. We don’t mail it later, we don’t do wire transfers. Check in hand, same day as pickup.

Question 10

Do you buy cars all over New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve the entire state—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, and everywhere in between. If you’re in New York, we can get to you.

Question 11

What happens to my car after it's picked up?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the car. Some get resold. Some get recycled for parts. Some get crushed for scrap. We try to give every car the most useful second life possible—which is a fancy way of saying your old ride doesn’t just disappear into a void.
