Nice SUV,
Expensive Habit
Here's the part nobody mentions at the dealership: once the warranty clock runs out, this thing gets expensive to keep healthy.
From water pumps to cracked heads — we've seen it all.
- Water pump (2007–2015 V6) buried deep in the engine — hours of labor, not a quick fix.
- Timing chain stretch shows up earlier than you'd expect; if that chain jumps, you're not looking at a small repair anymore.
- 2021 turbo models developed cracked cylinder heads under completely normal driving — Mazda quietly extended warranty coverage, but we still see owners dealing with the aftermath.
- Transmissions that hunt for gears at low speed and infotainment systems that lock up mid‑drive.
- Transfer case (AWD) — burnt smell or dark oil spots under the rear of the engine bay? That's the first sign it's failing, and it's not a cheap unit to replace.
- Brakes wear faster — rotors and calipers especially — so by the time a CX-9 crosses 100,000 miles, the repair list can get long fast.
Mazda parts just cost more
A shop that's perfectly comfortable with a Camry might tack on extra hours for anything involving the turbo system or the electronics on a CX-9. Once a repair estimate starts creeping past what the car is actually worth, that's usually the moment people call us instead.
Cracked head, blown transmission, hail-dented hood, 220,000 miles on the clock — make the call anyway.
(888) 781‑2346What Happens When You Sell to Us
No games, no runaround. Here's what selling your CX-9 to Pick and Pay Orlando actually looks like:
Real number fast
Tell us the year, trim, mileage, and what's going on with it, and you'll have a price before the call ends.
Tow is on us
Our truck comes to you, wherever the CX-9 is parked. No hidden fee tacked onto your payout.
Paid on the spot
Cash in hand the moment our driver shows up, not a check that shows up next Tuesday.
Lost the title?
We'll figure it out together. Bring a valid ID and we'll walk through the paperwork right there in your driveway.
Local, Not a Call Center & How We Get to a Price
A lot of the sell-your-car sites out there aren't actually buyers. That's not how we work.
- Pick and Pay Orlando is based right here in Central Florida — our drivers can find College Park, Lake Nona, or Kissimmee without punching it into a GPS.
- We've pulled CX-9s out of apartment complex parking garages, off the back lot at a repair shop, and out of driveways where the SUV hadn't run in over a year.
- We're not guessing on price. Year, trim, engine (four-cylinder turbo vs. older V6), mileage, and what's actually wrong all go into it.
- Even a CX-9 that won't turn over still has value — the engine block, transmission, wheels, electronics all still have a market.
- We check what similar CX-9s have actually sold for around Orlando lately — not some national average — so the offer is honest.
Word of Mouth Built This
The majority of our phone calls come from people that have sold us a car or know someone that has. We answer our own phones, we quote real numbers, and we handle the tow ourselves instead of farming it out.
Got a question about the paperwork a week later? You're calling a real office down the road, not chasing a call center that already moved on to the next lead.
Running Fine? We Still Want It
Plenty of the CX-9s we buy are perfectly drivable. Sometimes a lease is up, or you just bought a new car and don't want two payments and two insurance policies. Selling to us means no strangers test-driving and complaining about scratches later.
The private purchaser will need inspections, negotiate prices, and half the time won't show up on Saturday. Not us. One look, one price, one pickup — that's it.
FAQs — straight answers
We buy the whole lineup — Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Signature, FWD or AWD.
My CX-9 has a cracked cylinder head. Does that change anything?
Not really. It's a known issue on the turbo engine and we run into it often. If Mazda sent you paperwork about the extended warranty, bring it along, but we don't need it to make an offer.
Should I get quotes from other buyers first?
Go for it. Compare us against anyone else you call. We're not worried about how our number stacks up.
Do you only buy certain trims, like Signature or Grand Touring?
No, we buy the whole lineup — Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Signature — front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, doesn't matter.
What do I actually need to hand over at pickup?
Your title if it's still around, a valid photo ID, and registration if you happen to have it. Missing something? We'll sort it out together.
My transmission won't shift. Can your truck still tow it safely?
Yes. Our equipment handles non-running vehicles all day long. A stuck transmission or a seized engine isn't going to slow down pickup.
Is there a mileage cutoff where you stop buying?
Nope. We've bought CX-9s with a few thousand miles on a fresh lease and ones sitting past 250,000.
Got a Mazda CX-9 that's turned into more headache than it's worth?
Pick and Pay Orlando will give you a real number and clear it off your property fast.
