How To Make Money Out Of Junk Cars

By Daniel Thompson


While junk vehicles are no longer running or even functional, they can still be sold and earn some money depending on their weight, condition and features and whatever the automobile possesses. It is up to the individual to either donate their cars into an organization or sell it to a junkyard or salvage yards. There are many yards that will accept any kind of cars that are not usable any longer. When it comes to junk car pickup, individuals must try to salvage their cars to fetch a decent price.

Take an inventory before selling the car. A junked automobile can still give some money for the owner if there are still parts which are sellable. Determine if there is some good parts like GPS system, alternators, tires and spares and even the engine. Write it all down and make a list so you can illustrate to the yards a precise description of the vehicle.

Consult the Kelley blue book to evaluate the vehicle. The book is widely used source of information for automobile evaluation. The actual amount demonstrated on the book is not the actual price but it would you an idea how much would the profit be. If the owner wants the car to be repaired to increase the market value, the book will be the best way to start.

Remove the interior custom parts. Seat covers and leathers seats should be removed also. It would be sold for a good price rather than selling it automatically. If the owner will just leave them inside the vehicle, it will just add a little more weight that would be added on the scrap value.

Talk to the accountant of a charity. The owner cannot claim the tax deduction for the donation unless of course if they file the deductions on income taxes. This would mean that the owner will have to give their standard deductions which will worth much money. The accountant will tell if claiming the donation will help or hurt you for the taxes.

Check the state for requirement. Contact the local authorities and consult them about all the requirements that would be needed for them to accept your automobile. Make sure to contact them before selling it.

Verify the yards if they accept cars as scrap metal. Some places will only deal with specific materials and do not accept vehicles. Call out the companies ahead of time to verify if they accept automobiles. Before anything else, make sure to remove all certain parts or the fluids inside the car.

Get referrals from your loved ones and friends. They may have undergone the whole transaction and process in the past. They can share some insights and knowledge that would be beneficial to your cause. They can recommend the same company that accepted their automobiles.

The price budgeting is important. If the owner wants to repair the car first to make a better profit, they should spend money to earn money. The money being paid will be return back to you once the company purchases the automobile.
