Avoid These Mistakes

Avoid these common mistakes before selling your car to a salvage yard

So, you’ve decided that it is time to sell your junk car. Whether you are selling because your junk car is a total loss or end of life vehicle, or you’ve just decided that the time is right, when you go to sell your junk car make sure that you avoid these 5 common mistakes.

1) Make sure you have the title. Buyers of junk cars are not legally allowed to buy the car from anyone other than its legal owner. For help replacing your title visit the service area page at Rusty’s Auto Salvage to view a copy of the title replacement document for your state and click the image to go to the correct state DMV office near you.

2) Collect all of your personal belongings from your junk car. This can include any customized or stock stereo equipment as well as emergency roadside items such as jumper cables, snow chains, and tire irons. Don’t forget to go through the glove compartment, side door compartments and center console as well.

3) Know the value of your junk car. Different junk car removal companies will have different pricing models, so make sure that you take the time to find the one that offers you the fairest price. Some things that may influence their offers are current scrap metal prices, your junk car’s make and model, cosmetic damage, and whether or not it runs, so make sure you do your research.

4) Make sure that the company you agree to do business with includes the pick-up of your junk car at no extra cost to you- most reputable companies include in their service model.

5) Finally, remember to remove your license plate and cancel your insurance after you finalize the sale (congratulations!)

The easiest way to avoid all these mistakes is to use the web to find one of the new online junk car buyers.
