If you’ve got an old clunker in your driveway, you know the poor performance and frequent trips to the mechanic are an inconvenience. But did you know that keeping your clunker is likely losing you money, and potentially putting you at a higher risk for accidents?
As cars age and require more maintenance to keep running, they lose value while the cost of repairs tends to keep increasing. Routine wear and tear of systems like your engine and transmission may eventually cost you thousands of dollars, or put you at risk of breaking down on the road.
While many people think just fixing the car they’ve got is cheaper than buying a new one, at a certain point that’s no longer the case. Eventually, your car will really reach the end of its life.
Your best bet is to sell your car and use the money toward a newer, safer vehicle. You may be surprised how much your car is still worth as a salvage vehicle! Even though it’s no longer in driving condition, many of the parts that make up your car still have plenty of life left in them.
Selling Your Clunker For Cash
If you’re used to traditional methods of selling or trading in a car, the prospect of finding a buyer for your junk car might worry you. Don’t let it! You can sell your car online, completely from the comfort of your own home.
Dealerships won’t offer you a fair price on your car, as all they can do with it is sell it at auction. Calling every junkyard in town is an option, but that process is tedious. Plus, some junkyards may try to deceive you! Selling online is fast, safe, and gets you the best value for your car.
Once you’ve decided you’re ready to begin the journey of upgrading into your next vehicle, you’ll need to prepare your current clunker for sale. Remove any and all personal items from the car. Don’t forget spots like the seat back pockets, trunk, and center console!
If you’d like to do a quick tidying up to make your photos look more appealing, you can, but that’s optional.
Next, take some pictures of your car. Remember to include any visible damage. Try to choose a sunny day and get a variety of angles.
You should also make note of your car’s Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN. It’s 17 digits long, located in your dashboard, and totally unique to your car. You’ll need it to get a quote.
The only other thing you’ll need to do is get your title. Your title grants you legal permission to sell your car, as well as certifies who is legally liable for the vehicle.
Properly transferring your title ensures that you can’t be held liable for whatever happens to the car after you’ve sold it. Never sell a car without properly transferring over your title!
If you can’t find your title, don’t stress. Simply contact your local DMV about applying for a copy. You’ll need your license, registration, and the car’s plate numbers, VIN, and title number. The title number can be found on your registration, and is eight digits long.
You should get your title within a week or two, and may have to pay a nominal fee. Now you’re ready to sell!
