Find Out How To Get Money For Cars That Don't Work

By Christine Price


If you have a car that has lost the vast majority of its value over time, then you're probably wondering how you'll ever be able to afford a new one. You might not have the option of selling this vehicle privately or even of trading it in. The good news is that there are a number of feasible and easy ways to get money for cars that are no longer working.

Lots of companies break down vehicles that no longer run and then sell their components off one by one. This is sometimes referred to as parting automobiles out and when cars are parted out skillfully, impressive profits can be made. If you have mechanic's tools and training, this is a job that you might think about doing on your own.

Handling this project for yourself is definitely the surest way to maximize your returns from this effort. Keep in mind, however, that the work is far from easy. Moreover, the work area can get quite messy as well. You will need high-powered mechanics' tools and equipment and a large, open work space in which oil spills and other leaking automotive fluids will not be a problem.

There is also the option of selling to a buyer that will part the vehicle out on your behalf. This is an excellent strategy for claiming money from a car that won't run, and without having to perform a lot of manual labor yourself. You won't get as much cash, but it will be far easier to turn a profit from this sale.

Salvage yards and independent, online parts sellers are often willing to make offers on vehicles even if they aren't running. If your automobile has been in a devastating accident, however, finding a willing buyer will prove much harder. In these instances, your best bet may be to work with recycling companies that want the available raw materials.

Salvage yards are capable of pulling parts as these are needed. They have large yards in which to park vehicles while gradually picking them clean. This way, they do not need to remove all viable parts at once.

If this method of selling your vehicle sounds appealing, reach out to several local companies to request a quote. This is something that many businesses can do over the phone or online. They will base their sales offers on the age of the vehicle in question, its make, model and condition. The more rare that an auto is, the more valuable its working components will ultimately be. This makes it important to spend time researching the rarity and value of your auto before selling.

When you have accepted an offer that's been made by a parts supplier or salvage yard, your car can be picked up from your property at a time of your choosing. It will be necessary to sign the title when transferring owners. Most buyers will tow cars off at no expense to the seller. They usually leave cash payments at the time of pickup or perform digital money transfers. There is also the option of having your seller put a check in the mail.
