Have you decided to sell your junk car? If so, you should be asking yourself how to get the most cash. While selling your junk car might not be the easiest endeavor, there are some tips that will certainly help you get the most cash out of it.
Don’t Wait
If you have a junk car sitting in your driveway, sell it today. Don’t let it sit there collecting rust or letting down your property value. If you just don’t have any time to sell your junk car right now, set up an ad on Craigslist with a fair price and include contact information so that interested buyers can reach out to you. The sooner you put your junk car up for sale, however, the better chance you have of selling it quickly at a decent price. Read below to learn more about these tips!
1) Get the vehicle’s title.
Make sure you hold onto all paperwork pertaining to your car. The title is most important, as it legally transfers ownership of your vehicle from you to whoever is buying it. If you don’t have a title, you can apply for one with your state motor vehicle department. Be aware that it may take several weeks or months until your application is processed. When you receive your title, remove any personally identifiable information before handing it over.
2) Determine the vehicle’s value
The second step in selling your junk car is determining its value. Take it to a local auto shop or dealership and have them assess its worth. If you know what year, make, and model your vehicle is, that can help indicate its approximate value as well. Even if your vehicle doesn’t run anymore, it may still be worth something—all it takes is some spare parts! Selling your junk car can be a tricky business though.
3) Make a few calls about the prices
In addition to looking online, you’ll want to do a few phone calls. Call up a few salvage yards and auto shops in your area and ask them what they’d be willing to pay for your car if it was delivered in one piece. That way, you can get an idea of what your car is worth. Then, you can see how much these scrap yards would pay if they had to tow it away themselves.
4) Take a look at local “lemon” laws
Some states have lemon laws that protect consumers when they buy a car that later has issues with its quality. If you find yourself in such a situation, consider taking legal action. However, keep in mind that if your state doesn’t have such laws on the books, you may not be able to receive any sort of restitution if your car ends up being problematic.
