Have An Old Car Taking Up Space And Leaking On Your Driveway? Find Someone Who Gives Money For Junk Cars

If you are ready to get rid of a car that has been taking up space in your driveway, let a scrap car buyer take it off your hands. They will do most of the work that is needed to take a car to a scrap yard to get cash, and then they give you a cut of the money. Here are some of the things to know before you hand your keys to someone.

Know Your Car Value

Make sure that your car really is junk and should be headed to the scrap yard. You may be surprised who may be willing to purchase an automobile that is not running.

There also may be specific automobile parts that are valuable on your vehicle, like the catalytic converter or the transmission. Find out what your car could sell for by looking at comparable listings or talk with a used auto part dealer to find out how much your parts are worth.

Find Full-Service Scrap Providers

If you just want to be done with the vehicle and have someone come and get it, find a buyer of scrap cars that will do all the work. This means they will:

• Prep the car for scraping
• Tow the vehicle away from your home
• Give you the cash for the title

You won't have to do any of the labor that goes into getting a car ready for scrap; you just collect your cash, hand over your title, and watch your car get pulled out of the driveway.

Compare Profits

Get a couple of offers and figure out who is going to do the most for you and give you the most amount of money. Make sure that you know what you are getting for the cash. Some buyers may want you to sign the title over with a notary. You want to get the most out of the transaction, and some people may pay more if they know you have other offers.

The amount of money you can get will depend on the current value of metal at the time when the vehicle is taken in, so if you are worried about getting the most amount of money, you may want to wait until the prices fluctuate higher. You can often find advertisements for people who offer money for junk cars in your area on the roads, in newspaper classified ads, or even on a social media garage sale page.
