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.

The CX-9 generations we buy
The first-generation TB CX-9 (2007–2015) shared Ford architecture and used a 3.7-liter V6. The second-generation TC (2016–2023) was a clean-sheet Skyactiv design with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, and it was replaced by the CX-90 for 2024.
CX-9 seats seven across three rows, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available in both generations. The second generation's turbo four trades the old V6's sound for much better low-end torque and efficiency.
What we buy — your CX-9 included
- Japanese vehicles of any age — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
- Fixable issues welcome — Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
- Most 2010-and-newer cars — Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
- Trucks of any age — Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
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

Common CX-9 problems we still buy
Internal water pump failure on 3.7 V6
The first-generation CX-9's chain-driven internal water pump can leak coolant into the engine oil, potentially destroying the engine, a well-documented Ford/Mazda V6 weakness. Any sign of this failure usually results in the SUV being sold as-is.
Transfer case (PTU) failure on AWD first generation
All-wheel-drive TB models are known for power transfer unit overheating and failure, worsened by fluid that was treated as lifetime fill. Drivetrain noise or a burning smell often precedes a sale.
Cracked cylinder head and coolant leaks on turbo models
Some 2016–2020 CX-9s with the 2.5T engine developed cracked cylinder heads or exhaust manifold coolant leaks, with Mazda extending warranty coverage for the issue. Owners facing engine work frequently sell instead.
Infotainment screen delamination
Second-generation CX-9s share the Mazda Connect spider-cracking and ghost-touch screen faults. Combined with their size and fuel use, electrical annoyances push many family owners to trade out.
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.
CX-9 seller questions
How much is my CX-9 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.
My CX-9 has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?
High mileage alone does not disqualify a CX-9. 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.
Do you buy a CX-9 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.
What happens on pickup day?
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your CX-9. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in Orange County.
