Selling Junk Cars For A Tidy Amount

premier • February 2, 2023

If you have an old car lying in your backyard, do you know if you can sell it? Most people wonder what to do with their old and unwanted cars. Selling junk cars can become a cool side hustle for extra bucks.

What is a Junk Car?

A  junk car is old and worn out , extremely damaged, or one whose cost of repair exceeds the car’s value. If you have a totaled, rusty, damaged beyond repair, and you cannot find a buyer, it means it has reached its EOL (End of Life), and you should sell it off as junk. Selling junk cars is quite profitable. Try to sell your junk car, then look for others in the neighborhood, buy them and sell them at a profit.

Steps to Follow When Selling Junk Cars

Here are some of the steps you can take to get the most out of your junk car.

1.     Find a Local Junkyard

Google at least three different yards and compare quotes. They will request the vehicle details such as:

  • Car model, make, and year of manufacturing
  • Details of damage
  • Does the  car have a title?

A common tactic used by junkyards is offering free towing. They offer you free towing and a low price for your car. When most people do the math of towing the vehicle, they accept the offer. Be careful and do the math to see what option makes economic sense.

2.     Check License

Only sell to licensed yards, so ensure they have a permit by asking on the phone or visiting.

3.     Check Online Customer reviews

Check to see what their clients are saying about their services. Watch out for negative experiences and note them down.
