Built on a handshake. Run the same way.

Florida's most transparent car buyer. We built Cash Now Auto to do one thing — pay sellers top dollar, fast, with zero hassle.

It started with one frustration.

"Every seller deserves a fair number, a real handshake, and to be out the door with cash — same day."

Before Cash Now Auto existed, Ben Ripstein spent years watching friends, family, and customers get lowballed on their own cars. Dealerships dragged their feet. Online buyers moved the goalposts at pickup. Everyone promised the moon and delivered pennies.

So in 2019, he started Cash Now Auto in Delray Beach with a single rule: the number you’re quoted is the number you’re paid. No teaser offers. No small print. No last-minute renegotiations.

Five years and ten thousand cars later, that rule still runs the company. Every offer is hand-reviewed by a human. Every pickup is free. Every piece of paperwork is handled for you. And every phone call is answered — usually by Ben himself.

Mission & vision.

Two short statements. One simple idea. Selling a car should feel like a handshake — not a fight.

A note from the founder

I answer the phone.

"I answer the phone because every seller deserves to talk to a real human — not a bot, not a menu, not a voicemail."

When I started Cash Now Auto, I decided two things on day one: every offer would be written in plain language, and every phone call would be picked up by someone who actually cares.

Five years later, those two rules haven’t changed. I still personally review a significant share of our offers. I still answer the phone. And I still sign every check.

If you’re thinking about selling your car — whether it’s a clean-title daily driver or a salvage SUV nobody else will touch — I’d love to make you an offer. Call me. Email me. Pick your platform. I’m right here.

Five years,ten thousand handshakes. And counting.
