At Cash4Cars, we buy junk cars and repurpose them. Not only does it take the rickety old drive off your hands, but it is also a step toward sustainable recycling and responsible consumerism.

Here are 5 things you can do with your junk car other than selling it.

1. Donate It to Charity

A lot of charities have car donation programs in place. Usually, charities dismantle the car and sell the used parts for cash that is later used as funding. If the car is in relatively good shape, they may even use it for their mobile services. When you donate your car to a charity you also receive a receipt that allows the donation to be written off your taxes. Some organizations will even arrange for the car to be picked up from your property, you don’t even have to pay towing charges.

2. Sell It (in Whole or in Parts)

If you are looking to wring some cash off your old clunker, you can sell the old parts yourself. Simply head to Cash4Cars, we buy junk cars in all conditions. Even if it does not run, we will find ways to recycle it into something useful. Once you bring your car to us, we appraise your car for you and offer a quote.

3. Trade It at the Dealer for a Newer Model

Your car may be old but if it has some sort of resale value left you should be able to trade it in at the dealer for a newer model. Of course, old cars aren’t always worth a pretty penny but you can put whatever you get towards the purchase of a brand-new car. It is bound to save you a couple hundred. Trading at a dealership is also popular because it is so convenient. You don’t have to sieve through buyers or even pay the cost of towing.

4. DIY It into an Art Piece

If you are the artist type, did you know you turn your junk car into a piece of art? Used cars are a great way to make floats for school parades. You can also scrape the paint off and give the junk car a whole new make-over. Remember that Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender car that was all over the internet a while back? If you want a similar moment for yourself, who’s to stop you?

5. Barter It

Sometimes if the situations align themselves favorably you can also barter your car with a relative in need of a car for something you want in return. Bartering cars is a safe option and lowers the risk of scams. Many people also barter cars when the car holds a sentimental value to them and they would rather the car stay in the family than dismantle or sell it to a stranger.
