Selling Privately

Listing your car on Craigslist or local ad sites is great…if your car is drivable and certified. For junk cars, that’s not the case. Posting an ad for a junk car, flooded car, old car, or non-running car might get you a few responses but you’re not likely to get a fair offer if you get one at all. In the end, many junk cars listed this way go the junkyard anyway. You’ve just wasted time. 

Trading In a Car

If you need to buy a different car, trading in a vehicle at the dealership can be a simple solution. A sales manager appraises your trade-in and makes you an offer. However, a junk car isn’t a vehicle they want for inventory. The offer you receive is much less than you’d get elsewhere, and that’s IF you get an offer at all. The sales manager could tell you they don’t want your car. 

Donate Your Vehicle

Charities across the nation accept vehicle donations to raise funds for their work. They’ll gladly accept vehicles in any condition and issue a donation receipt for the vehicle’s fair market value. The problem? A junk car is worth only a fraction of a running, driving car. The donation receipt will net you only a portion of its value back, and only when you file your income tax. While you may be doing some good, the reward is small.
