I Want to Sell My Car in Iowa

A little over 2% of the drivers in Iowa get into accidents every year. Whether your vehicle was involved in one of these accidents or it has some other issues, it's time you sell that old car and turn it into cash for your wallet.

The question you’re asking is where to take that old car. You could spend your days trying to sell it locally. That won’t get you anywhere, except attracting strangers who just want to waste your time haggling down your fair asking price.

Dealers, no matter of the size, are only in the business to make a profit. Whatever larger number they're giving you for the trade-in car deal is just being stacked on elsewhere as a dealer fee or isn’t a fair price at all.

Scrap and junk yards are in the salvage business. Unless your car is literally a piece of shredded metal they won't be the option for you. Their famous ‘cash for cars’ offer will be unacceptably low.

You need to a buyer like CarBrain. We have created the smart way to sell your car. With our interactive pricing engine, we can make an online offer on most makes and models sold in the US in just 90 seconds! If you like our offer and we agree on it, we're prepared to deliver your payment and pick up the car in just 24 to 48 at hours!

What Type of Cars Do You Purchase in Iowa?

Cars come in many shapes and forms. There are big tough trucks, sleek aerodynamic sports cars, and even compact fuel-efficient sedans. These cars are all great but when the time comes to sell it can get tough, especially if it's a less-than-perfect car. Every buyer has their specialty. Some only want to buy clean cars while others only want to buy wrecked cars.

Most of these buyers won't travel to you either. That means if your car isn't running, it's going to cost you hundreds of dollars in towing to get that car around. When you get there, all they do is try to haggle down your price so you lose even more money.

With CarBrain you don't have to worry anymore because we have you covered! We’ll buy your car even it’s been totaled or wrecked from an accident. If your car isn't running or it has mechanical issues, we can still buy it! Our system is ready to give an offer on most makes and models in just 90 seconds! If you agree to our offer, we’ll deliver the payment and tow your car at no cost to you!

Should I Repair My Car?

Repairing your car may seem like a good option but it can be risky.

Most repair shops will not give an estimate unless the vehicle is present. If your car isn't roadworthy or doesn’t start, that alone could cost you hundreds of dollars in towing. Repair estimates are not 100% accurate either. You will never truly know the final cost of repairing a car until you’ve already started the repairs and taken the car apart to see everything that's wrong. By then it’s too late and your estimated $500 dollar repair turns into a $1,500 repair.

Cut your losses and sell that unwanted or less-than-perfect car today!
