Selling a car in Vancouver
We buy cars across Vancouver, from Kitsilano and Kerrisdale to East Van and downtown, and nearby on the North Shore and in Richmond.
Selling privately here usually means street parking, test drives with strangers and a lot of messages. Selling to us skips all of that: one form, an offer, and we come to you.
How it works in Vancouver
- We come to you. We have people outside Alberta, and we confirm the day and time with you when your offer goes out.
- You don't pay the PST. In BC the buyer pays it at registration, and here the buyer is us.
- Paid on the spot by bank draft, e-transfer or cash. If there's a loan on the car, we pay the lender first and you get the rest.
Selling a car in British Columbia: what's different here
- Registration and insurance run through ICBC, so the transfer is done at an Autoplan broker rather than a registry office.
- BC charges PST on private used vehicle sales: 12% for most cars, higher on genuinely expensive ones. The buyer pays it when they register, and it's calculated on the purchase price or the vehicle's wholesale value, whichever is greater. That last part surprises people, so confirm the current rules with ICBC.
- The transfer is done on ICBC's Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T). It's the bill of sale and the tax declaration in one document, and both of you sign it.
- Your plates and your insurance stay with you, and they don't go with the car. A vehicle coming in from another province also needs a provincial inspection before it can be registered here.

FAQ
Do you come to me in Vancouver?
Yes, we come to you in Vancouver. We have people outside Alberta as well, and we confirm the timing and the pickup with you when your offer goes out.
How much is my car worth in Vancouver?
It depends on the year, mileage, trim and condition, and on what that exact vehicle is selling for in British Columbia right now. Send us the details and you'll have a real range, usually the same day. It's free and there's nothing to sign.
Can I sell a car in Vancouver that still has a loan on it?
Yes, and it's common. We get the payout figure from your lender and settle it directly. Anything above it is yours; if you owe more than the car is worth, you cover the difference.
Who handles the paperwork in Vancouver?
We do. We prepare the bill of sale and handle our side of it, so there is nothing for you to file at an ICBC Autoplan broker. Your plates stay with you, not the car.
Do I need to get the car inspected or repaired before selling it in Vancouver?
No. High mileage, hail damage, accident history, failed inspections and mechanical faults are all ordinary for us, and whatever is wrong gets priced in. Don't pay for repairs first, because that money rarely comes back to you in the price.
