Cash for cars on Bowen, no private sale needed.
Selling a car on the island means waiting for buyers who have to ride the ferry just to look at it. Skip all that. Tell us what you have, get a cash price on the phone, and we collect it from your place.
A small island is a small market
Post a car for sale on Bowen and the local buyer pool is a few thousand people, most of whom already have a car. Mainland buyers have to book a sailing, come over, and maybe go home without it. Trading in means driving it to a dealer in North Van or further. A lot of island cars end up sitting for months.
- We price it on the phone, so you know the number before anyone crosses.
- We come to your property. You do not take a day off for a ferry trip.
- You are paid before the car leaves your driveway.
Four things decide your offer
No mystery formula. These are the questions we ask on the call.
Size and weight
Trucks, vans and SUVs carry more metal and usually pay more than small cars.
Does it drive?
A car that starts and drives onto the deck is easier to handle and worth more to us.
Is it all there?
Engine, transmission, wheels and the original catalytic converter all add value. Missing parts take some off.
Paperwork in order
Registration in your name and matching ID keep things simple. Missing papers can usually be sorted with a call.
From phone call to paid
Call or text photos
Year, make, model, kilometres and a few photos. You get a cash number on the call.
Pick a day
We plan the pickup around the sailings and give you a time window that suits you.
Paid at home
The driver checks the car, pays you in cash, loads it and heads for the cove.
When a sale to us makes the most sense
We are the easy option for older, high kilometre, damaged or unwanted cars where a private sale would take weeks. If you have a newer car in great shape and time to sell it yourself, you might get more that way, and we will say so on the call. Not sure if yours runs well enough to sell? Our guide to getting a dead car off Bowen covers the other side.

Selling a car on Bowen, answered
Do you buy cars on Bowen that still run?
Yes. Running cars, trucks and SUVs usually pay more than dead ones because they are complete and load easily. Call with the year, make, model and kilometres and we will give you a number on the phone.
Do I need to bring the car to Snug Cove?
No. We pick it up from your driveway, carport or acreage. The price is the same whether you live by the cove or out at Cape Roger Curtis.
How do I get paid?
In cash, at your place, before the truck leaves for the terminal. The amount is the one we agreed on the phone, as long as the car matches what you told us.
Can I sell a car that still has a loan on it?
Not until the loan is paid out, because the lender still has a claim on it. If you are close to paying it off, call us and we can plan the timing around that.
Sell it from your driveway
