Sell Your Car FAQs — Mossy Automotive Group, San Diego County

How do I sell my car to Mossy Automotive Group?
Enter your vehicle details using the tool on this page to get an instant offer, then bring your car to any of our 17 San Diego County stores for a quick inspection. Once we confirm the condition, you'll leave with payment the same day.
Will Mossy buy my car if I don't buy one from you?
Yes. Mossy Automotive Group buys vehicles outright with no purchase required, so San Diego, Chula Vista, and Oceanside drivers can sell their car for cash and walk away. There's no pressure and no obligation to shop our new or used inventory.
How does Mossy determine my car's offer?
Your offer reflects current San Diego market demand, your vehicle's year, make, model, mileage, options, and overall condition. We use live regional data plus a quick in-person inspection to ensure a fair, competitive price for your car, truck, van, or SUV.
What paperwork do I need to sell my car in California?
Bring your California title or lender payoff information, current registration, a valid driver's license, and all keys and remotes. If the title lists two owners, both signatures are usually required. Our team at any Mossy location handles the DMV transfer paperwork for you.
How and when does Mossy pay me for my car?
Once your vehicle passes inspection and the paperwork is complete, Mossy pays you the same day, typically by check. If you still owe on a loan, we pay your lender directly and issue you any remaining equity above the payoff amount.
Can I sell a leased or financed car to Mossy?
Yes. Bring your payoff or lease-buyout details and we'll contact your lender or leasing company to settle the balance. If your car is worth more than you owe, Mossy pays you the difference. This is common across our San Diego County locations.
