Who Told It Was Impossible to Sell Your Junk Car for Fat Cash?
So you finally made the decision to bid adieu to your old clunky car? Fair enough, you have put it off for too long and it’s time to make way for a shiny new ride. But, what are you going to do with the old car? We can give you an idea, sell the junk car! That being said, this is a critical juncture in your car sale story. Your car may be old, but it’s still worth a lot of money. Do not make the rookie mistake of assuming your vehicle is worthless and that you should sell it to the first buyer who offers you any amount of money.

Here are three master tips for maximizing the amount of cash you can cop in exchange for your clunker.
#1 Access the Condition of Your Junk Car
The first and most important thing you will need to do upon making the decision of selling the junk car is to thoroughly access the condition of your vehicle. This inspection lays down the foundation of how much your car may fetch you.
Newer models that are not totaled and in fairly good shape will fetch you a reasonable price with a private buyer. However, it is essential that you are honest with the condition of the vehicle - make a point to mention if your car is drive-able, any mechanical problems and its overall performance. It is a practice to get a reading of your car using the Kelley Blue Book. You can also take to Craiglist and compare the prices of cars similar to yours in age, built and model.
However, more often than not, your car will not be new enough to warrant a high selling price from a private buyer. If that is indeed the case, move on to point two.
#2 Check for Valuable Car Parts
Yes, you already told us that your car is as much a piece of junk as it looks. But did you know there are still some really valuable parts left behind in your car? Before you go ahead and hand over your car to scrap metal dealers, remember to schedule a visit to a mechanic and get these parts removed. If your car doesn’t drive, get a mechanic to come down to your place. These parts alone can fetch you a couple hundred to a thousand (yes we know what we said!) depending on how rare and in demand the car part is.
Make sure to do your homework so that you don’t end up getting scammed.
#3 Find a Reputable Car Dealer to Sell Your Wrecked Car to
This is the hardest part of the journey when someone decides to sell a junk car. Sadly, a lot of scrapyards are out for your money. To sell your wrecked car for the highest price possible, you will need to put in the work to find a reputable dealer.
