Cash
for Junk & Used Cars

“My crappy POS Saturn clunker finally gave up on me and it would’ve cost way to much to try and repair. A friend of mind told me about ‘cash for cars’ companies and I couldn’t believe that someone would be willing to buy my car! Anyways, I got $450 and put it towards a downpayment on a new truck.”

Do I Junk It or Repair It?

Little do people know that these vehicles, commonly called junk cars, may still be usable after repair. However, if the repair cost is higher than the car’s original or resale value, selling it could be the best option. In addition, selling junk cars helps owners avoid fines, free up space in the garage, avoid health risks, and become environmentally responsible.

Whatever the reason, most owners want to get the most money out of selling a junk car. However, we understand that the car selling process can get confusing. In this article, we are giving you a detailed guide on how to sell a junk car.

Do You Have the Title & Registration?

Depending on the state, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may have different documentary requirements to sell a car. The most important document is the car title since it proves legal ownership of a vehicle. It contains the owner’s complete name, address, and vehicle identification number (VIN).

We do not require the VIN here at Sell Us Your Car, but this information is useful for accurately estimating the value of your vehicle.

If you can’t find your title but still have the registration papers, you can present them to us instead, as it should contain the car owner’s name. If you have neither of these requirements, we can also help you find other workarounds. For example, our junk cars yard team can assist you in requesting the reissue of said documents from the DMV.

After securing the necessary documents, Sell Us Your Car will follow up with an assessment to ensure the vehicle is legally yours, has no record of lien against it, and can be legally purchased.

Overall Vehicle Condition

Normally, a clean and damage-free car has a higher value than its rusty and clunky counterparts. But even if your car looks like junk on the outside, as long as the scrap metals and major components are in good condition, you still have a high chance of earning good money.

After finalizing the value of your car, we will send you a quote within a few hours, often as quick as 10 minutes.

This time frame includes a screening phone call, where we will discuss whether your car qualifies as junk and if you possess any necessary requirements. However, the quote becomes invalid after 48 hours since the market changes quickly. Cash and cars go hand-and-hand at SUYC, so give us a call today!
