Selling Junk Cars - How To Get Cash For A Junk Car

Selling junk cars can be an extremely difficult task, but there's one quick and simple way to do it, as you'll discover below.

But let's face it – selling a used car has never been very easy. People who have newer cars and trucks, in good shape and with low mileage, often have to wait months before finally finding a buyer. And they spend a great deal of money just to find that buyer with classified ads, online listings and just the ongoing costs to keep the car on the road.

So, it's no surprise that people who have junk cars face even bigger obstacles. If you're trying to get rid of an older vehicle, then it's probably already causing you a headache. It's taking up space in front of your home. It's an embarrassing eyesore. It's got to go!

But unfortunately, there's a good chance your car will just continue to sit there, rust, lose more value, and eventually become totally worthless.

Here's why...

Why Selling Junk Cars Is So Difficult

One of the biggest reasons why selling junk cars is so difficult is that there is a very limited pool of potential buyers.

Even if the car is worth money, the average person simply does not have a way to tell enough people about it without spending money on advertising. You are essentially limited to the people you know – friends and family – and others in your area who MIGHT happen to notice the “for sale” sign in the window.

What about classified ads?

Sure, you could run an ad in your local paper. But you'll probably need to spend a few hundred dollars just to get in the Sunday issue, and then is it really worth it? Besides, even if you do place a classified ad, there's still very little chance that it will be seen by the right people.

What about online listings?

You can try free online listing sites, but be prepared to deal with the flood of spam emails and phone calls. Plus, keep in mind: the people searching for cars on these sites aren't looking for junk cars. They want cheap deals on cars that are in better condition than yours. Sure, they might contact you and ask all kinds of questions, but chances are it will be a waste of your time.

How about the junk yard? Can I scrap it for cash?

If you're willing to accept the absolute bottom dollar for your vehicle, then selling junk cars to a junk yard or other scrap metal recycling center could be an option. But if you're like most sellers, then you probably want the most money possible. The junk yard might make you an offer for the parts, but there's a better way to get a fast, fair offer for your junk car.
