To an Individual

Private buyers are looking for cars that run. Your chances of selling your car to someone are slim if it isn't in good condition. Selling your junk car to a dealer or salvage yard that offers cash for junk cars is an option if it is not a clunker.

Selling to an Auto Dealership

Used vehicles are a popular option for auto dealers. Research shows that dealers can make more money selling used vehicles than new models. 

An automobile must be in good condition to be considered valuable by a dealer. Although dealers are happy to replace tires and repair any engine problems, they prefer to spend as little as possible to make the vehicle sellable. Dealers don't usually offer cash for junk cars.

Selling to a Salvage Yard

If you are looking to sell an out-of-service vehicle, a salvage yard with a "Cash for cars” program is your best option. Salvage yards that pay cash for junk cars offer usable parts from wrecked or broken vehicles. A salvage yard will often offer to tow the car for no cost.
