How selling works in Phoenix

The process is the same nationwide: describe the car, get Peddle’s offer on screen, and if you accept, a local towing partner schedules pickup, usually within a day or two. The driver checks the car, you sign the title, and they hand you a check.

Arizona paperwork after the sale

Notify the state
File a Sold Notice with Arizona MVD (online through AZ MVD Now) so the state knows the car is no longer yours.
Plates
In Arizona, plates stay with the seller, so take them off before pickup.
Also
Summer heat is hard on batteries and tires of cars that sit. If your car has been parked for months, say so on the offer form.

Any condition

Non-running, wrecked, flood-damaged, totaled or just unwanted. Describe it accurately and the offer holds at pickup.
