3 Ways To Get Rid Of A Junk Car


Cars and trucks have the ability to make your life more convenient while they are in good working condition. Unfortunately, a vehicle that is no longer running properly can quickly become a source of stress and discomfort. Getting rid of a junk car doesn't have to be difficult if you take the time to identify some viable solutions for unloading a junk vehicle.

Here are three ways that you can successfully get rid of your junk car in the future.

1. Sell the individual parts to private buyers.

If you have the time and patience required to work with multiple buyers, you can easily sell each of the parts on your junk vehicle for a profit to auto parts shops, like City Auto Wreckers. Many of the parts found on junk cars still work properly, and drivers that need these parts to repair their own vehicles are often willing to purchase them from a private seller since this can help reduce the cost of repairs.

Be sure that you let potential buyers know they will need to bring tools in order to remove the parts themselves, and selling individual parts can be a great way to get rid of your junk car in the future.

2. Sell your junk car to a salvage yard.

If you don't want to worry about the hassle of working with many different buyers to part out your junk car, you can sell the entire vehicle to a salvage yard. These yards allow buyers to purchase auto parts at a discount, and they are always looking for vehicles to add to their inventory.

Give your local salvage yard a call and see how much money they are willing to give you for your junk car. Many salvage yards will not only pay you for your old vehicle, but they will send a tow truck to haul your junk car away at no additional cost as well.

3. Donate your old car to a charity.

Many charitable organizations are willing to accept the donation of a junk vehicle. The charity can sell the vehicle for a profit, allowing them to benefit from your donation. Be sure to work with a reputable charity that is recognized by the government so that you can use the donation of your junk car as a deduction when filing your income taxes.

Although you won't see a profit from the donation of your car, you will benefit from knowing that you have helped a local charity gain access to the funds needed to carry on their charitable work.

Getting rid of a junk car doesn't have to be difficult. Try selling the individual parts, selling the whole car to a salvage yard, or donating a junk vehicle to charity in order to get rid of an obsolete car in the future.
