Cash for Cars Alberta — 2018+ Trucks, SUVs & Cars
Kamocars pays top cash for 2018-and-newer trucks, SUVs, and cars across Alberta. See what your vehicle is worth and get paid in 24 hours.
If your truck, SUV, or car is a 2018 or newer model, you're in the sweet spot of the Alberta used market. Demand is high, wholesale auctions are competitive, and online buyers like Kamocars will pay strong cash — often thousands more than a dealer trade-in. Here's exactly why, and what to expect when you sell.
Why Kamocars focuses on 2018-and-newer vehicles
We specialize in late-model trucks, SUVs, and cars because that's where the value is, both for sellers and for the next buyer. Vehicles from 2018 onward typically still have modern safety tech, infotainment, and (often) transferable factory warranty — all things that drive real money at wholesale.
Focusing on this segment also means we can quote faster and more accurately. Live auction data on a 2021 RAV4 or a 2020 F-150 is dense and reliable; we don't have to guess.
What we pay top cash for
- · Trucks: Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra & Tacoma, HD diesels (Cummins, Duramax, Powerstroke)
- · SUVs: Toyota RAV4 & Highlander, Honda CR-V & Pilot, Mazda CX-5 & CX-9, Hyundai Tucson & Santa Fe, Kia Sportage & Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe & Suburban
- · Cars: Toyota Camry & Corolla, Honda Civic & Accord, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra & Sonata, Subaru Impreza & Legacy
- · Luxury & EV: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Tesla Model 3 / Y / S / X
Why a cash offer beats a trade-in
Dealer trade-ins on 2018+ vehicles are almost always priced below wholesale — the dealer has to leave room for reconditioning, lot time, and their own profit. We price directly against live wholesale data and pay you that number. On a $35,000 SUV, the gap between a trade-in and a Kamocars offer is commonly $2,500–$5,000.
You also skip the "you have to buy something from us" tax credit game. In Alberta there's no PST, so the trade-in tax savings argument that works in BC or Ontario doesn't apply here.

Financed or leased? Still no problem

Frequently asked
- Do you only buy 2018-and-newer vehicles?
- That's our specialty and where we pay the strongest cash offers. We'll still quote older vehicles case by case, but the best numbers are reserved for late-model trucks, SUVs, and cars.
- How much more will I get vs a dealer trade-in?
- Typically $2,000–$5,000 more on a late-model vehicle. The gap is widest on trucks and popular SUVs where wholesale demand is strongest.
- Will high kilometres hurt my offer a lot?
- Less than you'd think for a 2018+ vehicle. Late-model trucks and SUVs hold value well even past 150,000 km, especially with full service history.
- How fast do I get paid?
- Funds hit your account within 24 hours of accepting the offer — usually the same day via e-transfer.
