About South OC Autos
Testimonial
What our awesome
customers think
Most people who sell to us were not planning to sell to a dealer. They tried the private route first, and then decided the messages and the meetups were not worth it.
A Licensed Local Buyer, Not A Marketplace Listing
South OC Autos is a licensed California dealer, #94258. We buy vehicles directly from private sellers across Orange County. You are not posting an ad, screening strangers, or meeting someone in a parking lot. You deal directly with Ali from the first message to the paperwork.
How We Got Here
South OC Autos is run by Ali Shah out of Irvine. The business is small on purpose. Ali holds the dealer license and handles the buying himself, so the person who quotes your car is the same person who meets you to look at it.
We buy roughly 10 to 12 vehicles a month and resell them at dealer auction. That is the entire model, and it is why we can be straightforward about the number. We are not trying to retail your car to the next customer who walks in, so there is no back-and-forth and no manager to go check with.
What We Buy
Most Years, Makes And Models
Cars and sedans, trucks and SUVs, EVs and hybrids, and work vans. High mileage is fine. We need a clean title in your name. We can’t buy salvage or rebuilt titles.
