You’ve decided that it’s time to sell your junk car. You’re getting sick of looking at it just rotting away in your yard, plus you could use some extra money. Once it’s gone and you have some cash in hand, you’ll certainly be a lot happier. So will your neighbors. However, you want to make sure that you’re getting the most money for your junk car. That means you need to always keep in mind that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. In essence, your junk vehicle is far from worthless, so don’t give it away or take less money just to get it hauled from your premises. 

The good news is that your automobile is worth cash no matter what condition it’s in. In addition, your automobile is worth money no matter how old it is. It is absolutely possible to maximize the amount of cash that you can get for your old Junker. So without further ado, here are some tips for getting the most money when selling your vehicle to a junkyard. First and foremost, you should check for working parts. Even if your automobile is falling apart at the seam and there is rust everywhere there are most likely valuable auto parts.

Those working parts have value. There are some junkyards and auto salvage yards like Robertson’s Auto Salvage that pay top dollar for junk cars. Do you know why? The answer is simple. Robertson’s Auto Salvage specializes in selling high-quality used auto parts. So where does Robertson Auto Salvage obtain the used auto parts that they sell? You guessed it. They buy junk cars and remove all of the parts that are in good working order. If you make a list of all of the parts of your junk car that are working and or can be reused it will go a long way in increasing the value. 

That means you will get more money for your junk car. Robertson’s Auto Salvage looks at your junk car as much more than a heap of junk. They look at your junk car as a great source of used auto parts. It’s also important to negotiate with the junk car buyer in order to get the most money when selling your vehicle to a junkyard. For example, if they offer you a certain amount of money don’t just accept it. Always ask for more. That being stated, you need to be responsible with your counteroffer. A good rule of thumb is to start with 30-40% more than their initial offer. 

It’s also important to only work with a reputable auto salvage company or junkyard. It’s an unfortunate fact, but there are a lot of junkyards and auto salvage companies that are out to rip you off if not outright scam you. The bottom line is that their goal is to pay you as little if possible for your vehicle. However, your goal is to get as much money as possible for your vehicle. A reputable auto salvage company like Robertson’s Auto Salvage knows that it’s only a good deal if both parties are happy when all is said and done.
