You have an old car that’s been sitting in your driveway for months, and you’re finally ready to sell it. But you’re not sure how to get the most money for your junk car. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can get the most money for your junk car.
Contact Junkyards in Your Area
The first step is to contact junkyards in your area and get quotes from them. It’s important to get quotes from multiple junkyards so that you can compare prices and get the best deal.
114 Auto Salvage is a great option for selling your junk car. We will give you a fair quote for your car, and we will even pick it up for free.
Sell Your Car Online
Another option for selling your junk car is to sell it online. There are a few different websites that you can use to sell your car, such as Craigslist or Autotrader.
The advantage of selling your car online is that you can reach a large number of potential buyers. However, the downside is that you will have to deal with meeting strangers to sell your car, which may sometimes be difficult to deal with. This is especially true since you are not selling a running car.
If you want to sell your junk car for the most money fast, contact 114 Auto Salvage, we pick up 7 days a week and usually within 24 hours or less of requested pickup.
Sell Your Car to a Private Buyer
If you know someone who is looking for a car, you may be able to sell your junk car to them directly. This is often the best way to get the most money for your car, but it can be difficult to find a private buyer that you know.
If you can find a private buyer, make sure to agree on a price before you sell the car. You don’t want to meet up with someone in hopes of selling your car, and then have the buyer try to haggle the price down. So if you do want a private sale, make sure it’s with someone you know.
If you cannot find a private buyer, 114 Auto Salvage might be the best way to go in terms of junking your car for top dollar.
Compare Offers
Once you’ve got quotes from junkyards or private buyers, it’s time to compare the offers and choose the best one. There are a few things you should keep in mind when you’re comparing offers:
1. The first is the price. You want to choose the highest offer if possible.
2. The second is convenience. If one buyer is offering to pick up the car for free, that’s probably a better option than another buyer who is going to make you pay for a tow truck.
3. The third is the payment method. Some buyers may offer to pay you in cash, while others will only offer to pay you with a check.
114 Auto Salvage is a great option as a hassle-free way to get the most money for your car, especially if it is not in drivable or fixable condition. We will pick up your car for free and pay you top dollar based on current market pricing.
Clean Out The Vehicle
No matter what option you decide cleaning out your car is always a good idea. You don’t want to leave any personal belongings in the car, as they will likely be thrown away by the buyer.
Additionally, you should remove any aftermarket parts that you have installed on the car. This includes things like stereo systems, GPS devices, or anything else that can be removed easily.
If you do forget something in your vehicle, 114 Auto Salvage can hold it in our office for up to 6 business days, as long as you let us know the same day.
Get Your Title In Order
To sell your junk car for the most money, you will need to have the title in hand. The title is proof that you own the vehicle and are allowed to sell it. 114 Auto Salvage asks that you have a title and a valid id so we can give you the most money for your car.
If you have lost your title, you can usually get a duplicate from your local DMV. Once you have the title, make sure to sign it over to the buyer you are selling it to.
If you do not have a title, 114 Auto Salvage may still be able to buy your junk car, just not for the most money possible.
Don’t Lose Your Bill Of Sale
Once the sale is complete, you will need to keep a copy of the bill of sale for your records. This document is proof that you have sold the car and are no longer responsible for it.
If you sell your car to 114 Auto Salvage we will provide you with a bill of sale so you can have peace of mind knowing that you are no longer the owner of the vehicle and you can use that paperwork to cancel your registration, so you will no longer owe any excise taxes on the car, saving you more money.
In short, the best way to sell your junk car is by contacting 114 Auto Salvage. We will give you the most money for your car, often picking it up within 24 hours. We also provide free towing and will give you a bill of sale so you can cancel your registration and avoid any future excise tax on the junk car.
