Non-Running cars we buy in Cayce
Cars that don't start are our specialty. Free towing is always included — you never need to get the car running to sell it to us.
Cayce has about 14,086 residents in Lexington County.
Our free form refers Cayce sellers to an online offer for non-running vehicles. If accepted, the buyer arranges towing from an accessible location in Lexington County.
What counts as a non-running car?
Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.
Most cars we purchase don't run. Our offers already assume the worst, so non-running condition usually won't drop your price further.
Free towing — always
Every non-running pickup includes a free flatbed tow. You don't need to push, jump-start, or move the car at all. The driver will winch it from your driveway, yard, or street.
How much is a non-running car worth?
Even non-runners have real value — the catalytic converter, engine block, transmission, body panels, and scrap metal all generate offer dollars.

Selling a junk car in South Carolina: title & DMV rules
South Carolina requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Cayce driveway.
- If the title is missing
- South Carolina uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the SCDMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in South Carolina is Form 400 (Application for Certificate of Title and Registration).
- License plates
- Remove the plate and return it to the SCDMV if you're not transferring it.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the SCDMV of the sale so property tax and registration stop in your name.
- What South Carolina salvage buyers must do
- South Carolina uses Form 400 for title applications and duplicates. Secured-party and lien entries must be cleared before transfer. A bonded title handles vehicles with no usable ownership record; licensed scrap buyers report VINs when they take a car in.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as SC requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current SC payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in South Carolina.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the SCDMV.
