What Does the Junk Car-Buying Process Look Like?
Asking, how do I sell my junk car? Generally, when someone wants to sell their junk car in Phoenix, AZ, there is a fairly standard practice to follow, assuming you aren’t going to donate the car to a local charity, and you want to be reimbursed for it.
First, you would call several nearby junk dealers and get several quotes for the vehicle. When you do this, you can expect to be asked how old it is, what the make and model are, and whether or not it’s operational.
Once you’ve settled on a particular dealer, you would arrange for a specific time of day for the vehicle to be picked up.Typically that would happen on the same day that you make the call, or possibly the next day if the dealer happens to be busy on the day of your call.
When a representative arrives to pick up your junk car, you would either be paid cash on the spot, or you might have to drive down to the dealer’s location, where you would then be reimbursed.
Will You Buy My Car?
Virtually all junk cars will have at least some level of appeal to a junk car dealer if nothing else for the scrap metal which is contained in them. Some junk cars which have serviceable parts can have these removed and sold to car owners who need them.
There is never a tremendous amount of value associated with any junk car, but at least some of the parts and the metal used to construct the vehicle will give it some intrinsic value.
If you’re wondering whether your car has reached the stage where it’s considered a junk car, here are some of the criteria typically used to assess that condition:
- missing license and registration
- non-operational
- no value other than scrap
- major observable damage
- obviously of old age
Do You Pick Up Abandoned Vehicles?
Abandoned vehicles are those which have been left unattended on public or private property for an extended period of time, and have not been claimed by anyone. In Phoenix, any vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer which was previously registered and has now been abandoned, can be reclaimed by a junk dealer, towing company, or public garage operator.
The process that any claimant would have to go through in Phoenix is to submit this claim to the Arizona Motor Vehicles Department, requesting that the vehicle be classified as an abandoned one. At that point, the MVD would attempt to contact the owner to inform them that they have 30 days to reclaim the abandoned vehicle.
If no such claim is forthcoming during the 30 days, ownership would then be transferred completely free and clear to the original claimant.
There are a few cases that could be considered exceptions to the abandoned car law in Arizona.
These include mobile homes that are larger than 8′ x 40′, vehicles left in a public garage or a self-storage storage facility, and historic vehicles that are being worked on at the vehicle owner’s property.
How Much is My Junk Vehicle Worth?
The vast majority of junk cars fall into the category of having a value between $100 and $500, which is basically the value of the metal they contain, and possibly a few serviceable parts.
The factors which affect the value of your junk car most heavily include its location, the year, make, and model of the vehicle, the condition of your vehicle, and the prevailing price of scrap metal at the moment.
If you want to get a pretty fair idea of the value of your junk car, your best bet is to look it up in the Kelley Blue Book. The price listed there won’t be any kind of guaranteed price you get for your car, but it will at least provide a starting point from which you can negotiate with junk dealers. Keep in mind that regardless of what any reference book may tell you, the current price of scrap metal will have a major impact on what you get for your car.

About Phoenix
Phoenix is the state capital of Arizona in the United States as well as the county headquarters (1871) of Maricopa County. It is located in the south-central region of the state along the Salt River, about 120 miles north of the border with Mexico and exactly in the middle of the distance between El Paso, Texas and Los Angeles, California.
Not only does Phoenix make up a part of the Salt River valley, but so do other adjacent communities including Mesa, Scottsdale, and Tempe. This region is often referred to as the Valley of the Sun. As a financial, communications, and transportation center, Phoenix is an essential component of the economy of the Mountain West area of the United States. This region is one of the fastest growing in the nation.
Phoenix is quite similar to Los Angeles in many ways, including having large avenues that are bordered with trees, having architecture that is in the Spanish style, and having mountains that surround the city. Phoenix, like its twin city in California, is a sprawling metropolis with a number of distinct centers that are spread out across a great distance from one another.
The greater metropolitan area, of which Phoenix is only a small part, has grown to take in a vast expanse of land that stretches nearly all the way from the Gila River far to the south to the tall plateaus and volcanic mountains of the north and east and out into the broad desert valley to the west. Its historic core is located to the west of Sky Harbor International Airport. Phoenix is only a small part of the greater metropolitan area.
The city of Phoenix is seeing consistent expansion as a result of the thousands of new inhabitants and millions of new tourists who arrive there year.
