Junk car buyers will pay for your damaged vehicle
If your car has suffered irreparable damage it can be easy to get down about the whole situation. However, it is possible to recover some of the value of your car by selling it. Junk car buyers will assess the damage to your vehicle and will often offer decent money to buy it.
The million-dollar question is how much will you get for your car? That depends on the make, model and the extent of the damage. The best way to ensure you get maximum value when you sell to junk car buyers is to do some research and call around to find out estimates for the value of what could be salvageable from the vehicle.
The ‘Kelly Blue Book’ is a great place to start and offers a lot of standardized price guides that can give you a reasonably accurate estimation of what your vehicle is worth. Understanding what your vehicle is worth when fully functional and undamaged provides an early indication of what the buyer may pay for your vehicle. Research suggests that junk cars sell for on average 30% of the value of the used vehicle. However, this is contingent on other factors including the going price of scrap metal, the amount of the car that is salvageable, the condition of the metal and the location of the vehicle.
When selling your car, it is a good idea to have an assessment of the damage to your vehicle. This makes the process more efficient when it comes to junk car buyers offering you a quote and price on the spot for your vehicle. iBuyer Tech™ has an advanced vehicle quotation and selling tool that lets you simply fill in the details of the car you want to offload, and then it gives you a quote for your car.
In almost all situations junk car buyers only buy damaged vehicles from the owner themselves. It is a good idea to ensure that you have title and ownership papers for the vehicle available on request to ensure a smooth transition. The law requires buyers to obtain title of the vehicle before buying it for scrap or metal.

Junk car buyers will pick up your vehicle
If your car is badly damaged it will no longer be roadworthy or legal to drive. In most situations the buyer will come around and pick up the vehicle and take it off your hands without you having to worry about relocating it to the salvage yard. After your car has been damaged the last thing you want to worry about is hiring a tow truck to remove it and get it out of your sight. Junk car buyers provide sellers with peace of mind that their damaged vehicle will be removed quickly and with minimal fuss.
-
Junk car buyers will negotiate
When selling your damaged vehicle make a point of negotiating with prospective buyers. A lot of people miss out on an opportunity to put a little more in their back pocket by not negotiating. If it is going to cost you to have the car taken away be prepared to negotiate on towing price.
Furthermore, if your car is in an excellent state make sure to get this across to your junk car buyers. Even if your car is damaged badly clean, tidy metal will be worth more than rusted metal.

Remember when you sell your car that you also have to cancel the registration, follow the correct legal protocols and remove your license plates.

It also pays to be familiar with local ‘lemon laws’ that cover certain mechanical problems and are in place to protect consumers from buying faulty cars with unforeseen and concealed problems.
