4 Tips for Selling a Used Car in Phoenix to a Scrapyard

To ensure you have a good experience and conduct a transaction you’re comfortable with, here are a few considerations for when selling an unwanted vehicle to a junkyard:

#1 Do Your Research

Before accepting the first offer you receive, research multiple junk car buyers in your area. There are many different buyers of junk cars in Phoenix, but not all companies offer the same transparent dealings that SUYC does. Not all companies operate with the same objective either. For example, there are salvage yards, recycling centers, and used parts buyers all who may view your vehicle and its value differently. So, call around and see for yourself who’s willing to pay you the most!

#2 Prepare Your Vehicle

Take your personal belongings out of the vehicle. You don’t need to wash the car or clean the interior if you’re selling a junk car. The vehicle is processed the same either way. You can also remove the license plate; however, it’s not necessary.

#3 Gather the Necessary Documentation

In order to prove the vehicle is yours, you’ll have to provide a title or bill of sale in your name and a valid identification card.

#4 Be Honest About the Vehicle’s Issues

In order for a used car buyer or junk car service provider to make the best offer possible, it’s important that they know certain parts exist and are in proper working order. If you withhold this information, are provided an offer, then we discover that certain aspects of your vehicle are not as described, you’ll likely get a lower offer upon pickup inspection.

About Sell Us Your Car

Sell Us Your Car (SUYC) is a leading buyer of used vehicles in Phoenix and we want to make a fair and honest offer to unload your unwanted vehicle. The truth is that your clunker is worth more to some Phoenix junk vehicle buyers than it is to others. And guess what? It’s worth more to SUYC and for good reason. Here’s why:

• SUYC pays more because we part the vehicle out – meaning we can make more on the purchase.
• Other buyers are nothing more than resellers. In other words, they take your info and sell it to the highest bidder – companies like SUYC. So in order for these lead generation companies and in return buyers like SUYC to make money, the resellers have to offer less than professional scrap car buyers.
• SUYC also assesses market conditions on a daily basis, whereas resellers have a fixed algorithm that offers the same amount regardless of whether metals and other elements have gone up or down in value.
• We value your business and know what a few extra dollars means to many of our customers. We won’t lose a purchase over a fair counter offer by a customer. Unlike resellers who outright refuse to negotiate.
• Finally, we’re local and, believe it or not, we care about our community and want to help its members strive. This commitment isn’t as appreciated by large resellers as they operate across the country. To them you’re just another number on their monthly reports. To us, you’re potentially a return customer, a source for referrals, and a voice to others who may be considering our service. That’s also to say, you’re a valued customer, we know it, and we appreciate it!

We also strive to make the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible for our customers. We accomplish this by:

• Providing instant quotes over the phone or via email.
• Scheduling pick-ups as soon as we can fit you in – often same-day or next-day.
• We pay cash-in-hand. No need to wait for a check to clear (or trust that the check is good for that matter!).
• We tow vehicles free of charge. Surprisingly, many of our larger competitors charge for this service.
• Additionally, we handle all the paperwork. All you have to do is make sure your personal belongings are out of the vehicle and that’s it. We file the necessary transfer-of-title paperwork with ADOT and, at which point, you’re in the clear and no longer have to worry about your vehicle.

This is essentially the SUYC difference. But we’ll go one step further and encourage you to call around to get multiple purchase quotes for your vehicle. We’re so confident in our ability to price out our competitors, we don’t mind when customers call back to accept our offer! Remember, regardless of whether you’re trying to get rid of an abandoned car, a vehicle that’s been in an accident, or a car that’s in disrepair, SUYC want’ to buy it, give its parts new life, and recycle what’s left to transform it into a new model.
