Sell a Junk, Damaged, or Non-Running Car in Omaha
The Omaha metro straddles the Missouri River, reaching from Omaha, Bellevue, and Papillion on the Nebraska side across to Council Bluffs in Iowa. The river is central to the story of cars here: it has flooded the metro again and again, most devastatingly in 2019, when water shut down stretches of I-29 and I-680 and ruined vehicles on both banks. Add the Great Plains’ regular hailstorms — stones of two inches and more are not unusual — and the road salt that coats every winter highway, and the metro turns out a steady supply of vehicles that have reached the end. When yours has, We Buy Any Car comes to collect it — free of charge, on either side of the river, with a check handed over the day we pick up.

No Emissions Test or Inspection in Either State

We don’t charge to tow or collect your car, whether it’s parked in Omaha or across the river in Council Bluffs. the entire metro, and payment is by check once we take ownership of the vehicle.
Proof of Ownership
To complete the sale you’ll need to show the vehicle is yours — for most sellers that’s a signed title for the state the car is registered in, Nebraska or Iowa. Neither state requires the title to be notarized for a private sale.
