4 Things To Do With Your Junk Car

Posted on

What should you do with your junk vehicle in your driveway? It takes up space and looks horrible, but it's not always easy to remove (especially if it won't drive). You have to do something. Here are 4 things you can do with your junk car. 

Donate the Car

Getting children from one place to another is especially difficult for parents who don't have vehicles. Luckily, there are a number of organizations that collect old cars in order to give them to those who can use them. The organizations will pay for reasonable repairs or sell vehicles for scrap money in order to buy new vehicles for parents in need. In most cases, your car will be removed for free, and you can claim your donation on your taxes.

Take the Car to a Scrap Shop

If you can drive the vehicle or somehow transport it to a scrap metal facility, you can get money for the metal in the car. The average amount people receive for junk vehicles from a scrap yard falls between $200 - $950. Most scrap metal facilities won't pick up the vehicle for free. If you need to hire a tow truck to transport the vehicle, it likely won't be worth it in the end.

Hire Disposal Services

In some cases, you need to remove a junk vehicle from your property as quickly as possible before you receive fines or other penalties. In this case, you may need to hire a service to remove the vehicle for you. The cost of removal will depend on the company you use to remove the vehicle and where you'll be towing it to. This is one of the least economical options for you. 

Get Cash For Junk Cars

There are numerous companies who will be happy to give you cash for your vehicle. They will even come to pick the vehicle up (whether it's driveable or not). Your old car is worth something, so don't make the mistake of paying to have someone remove it. Instead, work with a company that wants to pay you.

Are you ready to sell your junk car? The process is easier than you may have thought. With some companies, it's as simple as filling out a form and then agreeing to the offer. The company will even pick up the vehicle when you're not at home. For more information, contact a company like Texas Junk Car Buyer.
