If you've made the decision to junk your car for cash, it's a good idea to discuss this with your partner, if you have one. Once both parties are in agreement, you can move on to the next step.
Make sure you gather the title and keys for the vehicle before proceeding further.
If the car is still drivable, take the opportunity to use up any gasoline left in the tank. Enjoy those final moments behind the wheel of your old car. If your vehicle isn't running, exercise caution if you plan to siphon fuel. Always use approved containers and never start the siphoning process with your mouth. Don’t worry about the gasoline’s value to the junk car buyer; they will need to remove all fluids from the vehicle before recycling or scrapping its parts.
A junk car doesn’t need to be pristine to sell; a little clutter is entirely acceptable. Just remember that a junk car is not a trash bin.
Before scheduling a junk car removal, ensure that you collect all your personal belongings. Check under the seats, in the glove box, above the visors, and inside the trunk. Look for any insurance cards, old registrations, and remove anything that contains your personal information.
Take out any newer components that you can use or sell, such as the battery, alternator, starter, car stereo, or speakers. Every little bit you can sell for cash is important, but please make sure to inform us of these items.
Don't forget to remove the license plates from the vehicle.
