Vehicle ownership transfers permanently to Flowers when the vehicle, properly assigned title, keys, and required documents are delivered and accepted.
A different way to sell your vehicle
Turn Your Vehicle Into Revenue Over Time
Flowers professionally processes your vehicle, markets qualifying reusable parts, and shares the net proceeds with you as eligible parts sell.
No upfront payment. Participation and future payments are not guaranteed.
More than a one-time offer
Give your vehicle’s reusable parts time to create value.
Instead of receiving one fixed payment when the vehicle transfers, you participate in the net proceeds from qualifying parts that Flowers successfully sells.
We take responsibility for the vehicle and the work—from professional processing and inventory to marketing, customer service, fulfillment, returns, and records. You receive clear monthly reporting and your share of settled eligible sales.
Simple, tracked, transparent

Parts that may participate
Your vehicle may hold value across many reusable categories.
Flowers identifies, tracks, and markets qualifying components connected to your vehicle’s stock number.
Engines, transmissions, and drivetrain components
Alternators, starters, compressors, pumps, and mechanical cores
Computers, modules, factory radios, displays, and wiring assemblies
Headlights, taillights, mirrors, and body panels
Seats, consoles, controls, and interior components
Steering, suspension, and safe marketable brake components
Aluminum or steel wheels, qualifying tires, and vehicle equipment
Qualifying exhaust and underbody components
A component participates only when Flowers determines it is safe, lawful, commercially reasonable to market, individually traceable to the vehicle, and sold as a settled sale. Removal or listing does not guarantee a sale or payment.
