We're Top Junk Car Buyers in Your Area

You know it’s time to let go of your junk car — but how do you guarantee that you get the best offer possible for it? After all, you’ve sunk hundreds, probably even thousands of dollars into it over the years. You don’t want to let it go for a less-than-fair price.

Figuring out the top price you can get for your car requires some research and consideration. A lot of factors other than the year, make and model can affect what you actually get your vehicle, and the best way to figure out what your car is really worth and the maximum amount you can get for it is to look into all the relevant factors. At JunkCarMasters, we’re ready to help you do just that.

What Factors Affect What A Junk Car Is Worth?

You already know that your car’s year, make and model will be one of the biggest determining factors in calculating what your car is worth. But there’s a little more to it than that.

Here are some other factors you need to consider, and why they matter:

• Your car’s location: Where your car is actually located will have a big impact. That’s because demand changes depending on where you go, and demand has a direct impact on a car’s value.
• Your car’s mileage: Depending on the junk car buyer you choose, they may not necessarily intend to scrap it. If your car is in drivable condition or could easily be restored to drivable condition, then the mileage becomes relevant. Higher mileage will diminish the value of the car, while a lower mileage won’t impact it as negatively.
• Your car’s condition: Again, not all junk car buyers will tear your car apart, so if your car requires a couple of repairs to be restored, that could mean more money in your pocket. On the other hand, if your car is so badly damaged it could only be used as scrap, then scrap prices are what you’re getting for it. Keep in mind that the three most important parts in your car are the engine, transmission, and catalytic converter, so damage to them will have a drastic impact on the value.
• Scrap metal prices: If your car is destined for scrap, then it’s important to know what scrap prices are actually doing currently. They can fluctuate drastically based on international and national demand, ranging from less than $100 per ton to well over $200 per ton.

With the factors above taken into consideration, you can get a realistic expectation for what your car is worth, and the maximum amount you can get for it.

Who Offers Top Dollar Prices For Junk Cars?

If you’re looking for top dollar offers, the first place you’re going to want to rule out is dealerships. Unless they specialize in junk cars — and the vast majority don’t — they’re not going to pay out the best trade-in prices for junk cars in any condition. If they accept the car as a trade-in at all, chances are they’re only doing it to try to convince you to buy a car from them.

You can certainly try to get a trade-in estimate from your local dealership if you really want to explore the trade-in route, but there’s an important factor to keep in mind: does your car drive? If it doesn’t, you’ll probably have to cover the cost of towing your car to the dealership, and that can significantly impact your potential profits from the trade-in value of your car.

So what’s left? Private buyers, junkyards, and online junk car buyers. Which one’s best for you?

Private buyers can be aggressive negotiators, especially when it comes to buying a car in poor condition, and it can be time-consuming to try to find the right buyer for your vehicle. When it comes to convenience, private buyers are definitely not that. Plus, someone will have to cover the cost of towing the vehicle if it doesn’t drive and depending on how negotiations go, it could still be you.
