Looking to Sell Your Junk Car? Here is How It Works

The junk car that’s been sitting around your property can bring you cash. Here’s how.

Contact a Service

Beware of companies that try to charge you for towing or are known for offering less money than promised. You want to work with a company that will come out, give you cash the same day, and not haggle once they arrive.

Accept the Offer

A reliable junk car buyer will give you a fair offer over the phone and stick to it. They may need a little information from you, but you’ll get a quote in no time. Once you accept the offer, you can move on to the next step.

Schedule a Pickup

Once you’ve accepted the offer, you’ll be given a choice of appointment times. You can schedule the pickup when it’s most convenient for you. In many cases, this can even happen the same day.

Get Paid

When your scheduled appointment time arrives, the company will come to your location and give you cash. Don’t hire a company that tries to charge you for towing. A reputable junk car buyer will have no hidden fees and will honor the quote they give you over the phone.

Cash for Cars is Chicago’s #1 junk car buyer because we never haggle once an offer is accepted. We give you a price over the phone and pay you that agreed-upon amount when we come to pick up your junk car.

How Much Will Cash for Cars Give Me for My Junk Car?

This depends on a few factors, but typically, a junk car can bring in anywhere from $50 to $300, depending on the make, model, and condition of the car.

Year/Make/Model

The year, make, and model of your car are significant factors when selling your junk car. Some vehicles are worth more than others, and the newer the vehicle, the more it will be worth.

Is It Drivable?

If the car doesn’t start or drive, it will be worth considerably less than one that does. Many junk services pick up cars to salvage parts, so even if your car doesn’t drive, it can still be worth some money—just not as much as if it were operational.

Do I Need My Title to Sell My Junk Car?

No, you do not need a title if you sell it to Cash for Cars. It’s easy to lose documents over time, but you don’t have to feel stuck with your junk car just because the title is missing. You also don’t need to pay the state for a new one.

Cash for Cars buys vehicles without titles. All we need is the current registration or a junk car certificate from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Can You Pick Up My Car Today?

In most cases, Cash for Cars can pick up your junk car the same day. Give us a call, and we’ll schedule a convenient pickup time for you.

What If I Won’t Accept a Check?

That’s fine! We understand that cash is a safer option. We’ll give you cash when we pick up your junk car and leave the checkbook behind. The amount of cash we bring will be the exact amount we agreed upon over the phone, not a penny less.
