Cars We Bought This Week — Week Ending August 18, 2026

Nine pickups across Nassau County and Suffolk County this week. We had everything from a running and driving Nissan Altima with low miles to a hybrid with a dead battery, a van with rust issues, a no-title no-key situation in Greenport, and a bad clutch Toyota Camry in Hicksville. Every single one — same-day pickup, free towing, cash on the spot.

Here's the full breakdown.

1. 2001 Nissan Altima — Babylon, NY

Condition: Runs and drives | Title: Had title


Kicking off the week in Babylon with a 2001 Nissan Altima that was still running and driving. The owner had the title in hand and was ready to move on. Running vehicles always command stronger offers — the engine and transmission are proven, and the parts value is higher across the board.

We made a cash offer over the phone, sent our flatbed out to Babylon, and had it loaded and gone the same day. The owner walked away with cash in hand and a clear driveway. If your car still runs, don't assume you need to go through a dealership or private sale — we pay strong money for running vehicles too.

2. 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe — Sayville, NY

Condition: Bad battery | Title: Had title


This 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe came out of Sayville in Suffolk County with a bad battery — the vehicle wouldn't start and the owner didn't want to deal with the repair. With the title in hand, this was a clean and fast transaction.

A dead battery on a 2016 is a simple fix, but sometimes people just don't want the hassle — and that's completely valid. We made a fair cash offer that reflected the vehicle's overall condition and value, scheduled same-day pickup in Sayville, and had it off their hands before the afternoon was over.

3. 2004 Ford Van E350 — Northport, NY

Condition: Runs and drives, rust issues | Title: Had title


A 2004 Ford E350 van out of Northport — still running and driving but showing significant rust, which is extremely common on Long Island vans of this age. The owner had the title ready and wanted it gone.

Ford E350s are heavy, parts-rich vehicles. Even with rust on the body and frame, the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components hold real value. The scrap weight alone on a full-size van is substantial. We made a strong cash offer, rolled the flatbed up to Northport, and had it loaded and out the same day.

4. 2004 Honda Accord — Brentwood, NY

Condition: Bad motor | Title: Had title


This 2004 Honda Accord came to us from Brentwood with a blown motor. The owner had the title, which made the process fast and straightforward. Honda Accords from this era are extremely popular in the parts market — even with a bad engine, the transmission, suspension components, interior, and body panels all carry solid demand.

We gave a fair cash offer based on current parts and scrap values, sent the flatbed out to Brentwood, and had it picked up the same day. The owner didn't have to deal with a mechanic, a repair estimate, or a private sale listing — just a phone call and cash in hand.

5. 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe — Greenport, NY

Condition: Lost keys, no title | Title: No title


This one came from Greenport all the way out on the North Fork of Suffolk County — a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with no keys and no title. Two obstacles that stop most buyers cold. Not us.

No-title, no-key situations are something we handle regularly in New York State. We worked through the documentation with the owner, confirmed we could proceed legally, and dispatched our flatbed out to Greenport. The vehicle was loaded and on its way back the same day. Distance is never a problem — we cover all of Long Island, including the East End.

6. 1998 Ford Expedition — East Setauket, NY

Condition: Doesn't run | Title: Had title


A 1998 Ford Expedition out of East Setauket that had stopped running. The owner had the title, which made this a clean transaction despite the vehicle's age and non-running condition. Late 1990s Expeditions are heavy, full-size trucks — the scrap metal value alone is meaningful, and usable parts add to the offer.

We made a cash offer over the phone, sent the flatbed out to East Setauket in Suffolk County, and had it loaded and gone the same day. Non-running vehicles are no problem — that's what the flatbed is for.

7. 2014 Ford Escape Hybrid — Deer Park, NY

Condition: Bad hybrid battery | Title: Had title


A 2014 Ford Escape Hybrid from Deer Park with a failed hybrid battery pack. Hybrid battery replacements can run $3,000–$6,000 or more depending on the vehicle — often not worth it on a 12-year-old car. The owner had the title and made the smart call to sell instead.

Hybrid vehicles have strong parts demand even with a dead battery. The ICE engine, transmission, body panels, and interior components all carry value. We made a fair cash offer, scheduled same-day pickup in Deer Park, and had it off their hands quickly. If you have a hybrid with a dead battery pack, call us — we buy them regularly.

8. 2007 Toyota Camry — Hicksville, NY

Condition: Bad clutch | Title: Had title


This 2007 Toyota Camry came out of Hicksville in Nassau County with a bad clutch — a manual transmission that had given up. The owner had the title ready and wanted a fast, hassle-free sale. Toyota Camrys are among the most in-demand vehicles in the used parts market, and even a manual with a bad clutch has strong value in the drivetrain and body components.

We made a cash offer over the phone, sent the flatbed out to Hicksville, and had it loaded and gone the same day. The owner had cash in hand and didn't have to deal with a repair shop or a private buyer negotiating them down.

9. 2002 Nissan Altima — East Meadow, NY

Condition: Low miles, runs and drives | Title: Had title


Rounding out the week — a 2002 Nissan Altima in East Meadow with low miles that was still running and driving. The owner had the title and was ready to sell. Low mileage running vehicles always get our strongest offers — less wear means more usable parts and higher resale value across the board.

We made a top-dollar cash offer, sent the flatbed out to East Meadow in Nassau County, and wrapped up the week on a high note. If you have a low-mileage vehicle sitting around that you're not using, you may be surprised at what we'll offer.
