No obligation · Free local pickup
The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days.*

Tell us about your car
What we buy — your Soul included
Fixable issues welcome
Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
Trucks of any age
Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Japanese vehicles of any age
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
The Soul generations we buy
The first-generation AM Soul (2010–2013) introduced the boxy hatchback formula. The second-generation PS (2014–2019) refined it and added a turbo model and the Soul EV, and the third generation (2020–present) consolidated to a 2.0-liter engine and CVT-style automatic after 2022.
Every Soul is front-wheel drive; no all-wheel drive has ever been offered despite the crossover styling. The tall boxy body gives it wagon-like cargo room with the rear seats folded.
How selling your Soul works here
01
Tell us about the car
Year, make, model, mileage, and where it sits. A VIN speeds things up but is not required to start, and the pickup address tells us which local run the car joins.
02
Answer 12 condition questions
Wheels, battery, key, whether it starts and drives, the catalytic converter, and the rest — the same checklist our buyer verifies in person, so the offer is built on the car you actually have.
03
Get one clear offer
We review every application by hand and send one offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description. Accept it and pickup is free anywhere in Los Angeles County.
Common Soul problems we still buy
Theta II and Nu engine oil consumption and failure
Souls with the 2.0-liter Nu and earlier engines are documented for oil consumption, connecting rod bearing issues covered by recalls and warranty extensions, and in some cases engine seizure or fire risk. Engine symptoms are the number one reason Souls are sold as-is.
Catalytic converter damage from engine faults
First- and second-generation Souls were recalled because overheating catalytic converters, linked to engine control faults, could damage the engine or cause fires. Repeat converter and emissions failures frustrate owners into selling.
Theft vulnerability on key-start models
Many 2010–2021 Souls with key ignition lack an immobilizer and became prime targets in the widely reported Kia theft trend, prompting a Kia software upgrade campaign. Theft damage and insurance costs are now a common selling reason.
Steering coupler clunk
Second-generation Souls are known for a worn flexible steering coupler that clunks when turning the wheel at low speed. It is a small part but a very common complaint that adds to the repair list on older cars.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
Soul seller questions
What Soul years do you buy?
We buy Kia Soul vehicles across the 2010–2024 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Soul that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.
Do you buy a Soul that failed smog?
Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
My Soul has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?
High mileage alone does not disqualify a Soul. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.
How much is my Soul worth?
It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.
