What You Need to Know About Selling Your Junk Car for Cash

Suppose I want to sell my junk car for cash. What are my options for doing so? One option is not to sell the vehicle but to donate it to one of many deserving charities. Your other choice is to sell the car to an individual who wants to work on the car or to a junkyard that can use the vehicle for parts or scrap.

The basic steps are similar, whether you want to donate or sell the vehicle.

The first step is to contact the charities or junkyards to describe the vehicle and determine their interest. If you are selling the car, you can compare offers and choose your preferred junkyard, taking into account any transportation and handling fees, before making your choices. Regardless of how you plan to dispose of the vehicle, another important step is to remove personal belongings from the car, checking all storage departments and under the seats.

Assuming the car is derivable, you can schedule a drop-off time that works for both parties. If the vehicle is not derivable, then the party receiving the vehicle will schedule a tow truck to haul it away. You will need your vehicle title (or driver’s license and registration) so you can sign over the vehicle to its new owner.
