Selling a Car for a Senior, Estate or Guardianship?
HoHo Buys Cars makes it fast, easy and safe. We work with seniors, families, estate representatives, attorneys and guardians, and we come to you.
When It's Time to Sell the Car, Call HoHo
When a parent stops driving, a loved one passes away or an estate needs to be settled, the car becomes one more thing on a long list. Selling it privately means listings, phone calls, test drives and strangers at the door, often for someone who would rather not deal with any of it.
HoHo Buys Cars buys the vehicle directly. We come to the home, the senior community or the attorney’s office, look the car over, make a clear written offer and handle the paperwork. If the offer works for you, we pay on the spot and take the car with us.
Serving seniors • families • estates • attorneys • guardians

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions families ask us most.
Can you buy a car from a senior who no longer drives?
Yes. We buy cars, trucks, SUVs, luxury cars, classics and specialty vehicles. We come to the senior's home or community, and family members are welcome to be there.
Do I have to bring the car to you?
No. We come to wherever the vehicle is: a home, a senior living community, a storage lot or an attorney's office.
Can you buy a car that belonged to someone who passed away?
Yes. The person with authority to sell, usually the personal representative or a surviving co-owner, signs the paperwork. We explain what is needed before the appointment so there are no surprises. Our guide on how to sell a deceased person's car covers the details.
I live out of state. Can you still help?
Yes. We coordinate with a family member, neighbor or attorney who has access to the car, and we keep you updated.
Can you buy the car if there is still a loan on it?
Yes. Tell us who holds the loan when you call. We can pay off the lender as part of the purchase and handle that paperwork, and if our offer is higher than the payoff, the difference goes to the seller.
Do you work with attorneys and guardians?
Yes. We give professionals a written offer and records of the transaction for their files. Call 941-270-4400 to set up an appointment for a client.
Does the appraisal cost anything?
No. The appraisal is free, it takes about 10 minutes, and there is no pressure to sell.
This page is general information about selling a vehicle in Florida, not legal advice. For questions about probate, guardianship or who has authority to sign, talk with the estate's attorney or your county tax collector's office.
