Turn Your Wrecked Car Or Truck Into Cash
Turn Your Wrecked Car Or Truck Into Cash. Got the wrecked car blues? Turn your salvage car or truck into money, and use it towards a new vehicle. Below will cover the outlets to go to cash in on your damaged automobile.
Here's how to do it. You have a couple of choices:
Locally, you can sell it to a junkyard, private party, dealer, or recycle it for scrap metal. Most of these will net you the least amount of cash, but it has the fastest turnaround time. If you have an older car, especially a larger one, chances are you can get more for it by recycling it for scrap metal than trying to sell it to another third party. The next choice is to sell it to the junkyard or reply to the ads in the paper that are something like "cash for your junker!" Usually these people are going to recycle the vehicle, part it out, or fix it. In all cases you will get even less.
Some dealers will buy or trade on a junk vehicle, but this is rare. So call around if it is worth it to you. This is a good venue if it is a newer or higher valued vehicle. Most dealers are connected to a large network of dealers, and can almost always find a buyer for your vehicle even in its current state.
Your next option is selling online. You will probably squeeze out significantly more money, but it takes more work, and you may have to coordinate transport to a buyer in another state or on the other side of the country. You also have to avoid scams. Avoid scams by not selling out of country, and never accept checks that look suspicious or are for more than your asking price. Avoid buyers who speak in broken english or have a suspicious story of why they want it.
Selling online your best options are online classifieds like Craigslist, Kijiji, or eBay Classifieds.
Your next option is selling on eBay Motors. You can sell it all at once, or part it out. Parting out takes the most work, but may get you the most amount of money. I recommend just selling it all at once unless you are mechanically inclined, and its worth it to you to part it out. The other disadvantage of eBay motors is you have to pay a fee, which costs between $60 - 125.
