Most junk yards that offer cash for cars will pick up your vehicle for free, as it is in their financial interest to do so. If a salvage lot that pays cash for junk cars says that it must subtract a towing fee from the price of the vehicle, you should find another buyer that will tow the car for free.

Upon contact with these companies, ask about their requirements for a scrap car. Many companies have a requirement to get the wheels removed. Many times gas tanks are also required to be removed as well. Some accept them without removing the wheels; however, the valuation price will be lower.
sell junk car So, how do we pull ourselves out of this mess? It’s no easy thing to do (and I continue to work on it), but the obvious answer is GET RID OF ALL THE JUNK! This can be extremely challenging for those of us “I just might be able to use that someday” types. Why? Because nothing qualifies as “junk,” so everything we have is useful! Or at least will be someday! Maybe.
If the car is running it may be cost-effective to drive it around to local recyclers to gauge the general selling price. If it is unable to be driven, many scrap yards offer towing services and are willing to visit the location of the vehicle and perform an inspection there. Calling around and giving recyclers a general idea of the vehicle works just as well since most of them have preset prices based on a per-pound scale. An extra tip is to try and locate salvage yards that specialize in that particular brand or model. If all else fails then there’s the internet.
The first option to sell junk car is the traditional salvaging through a junkyard. We have all heard of this before and it seems like the only option available to us. These junkyards don’t pay you much money, but they do make money out of your car. They wait for people to come and claim any parts from the car you have sold them, or they use the scrap metal. So your junk car is of use to them even though they don’t pay you anything for it.
In some cases, if the car still has some considerable value, car removers will actually pay you cash on the spot in exchange for ownership of the vehicle. Cars are valuable commodities and most removers will be willing to pay for any make and model of a car if it is still in good shape. If you are concerned about the environment, many removers are very good about recycling what they can and responsibly disposing of those car parts that cannot be recycled, such as car batteries.
