The good news is they probably won't charge you to get rid of a junk car! If they have to come tow it away they might give you a nominal amount - around $25 to $100. When scrap metal prices go up, its worth it to take your car in yourself and sell it for scrap. Also, if its drivable, the junk yard should offer more.

How do i sell my car to junk a yard?

If it drives, you can drive it round the junkyards and see what they will offer. If it doesn't start or move you can usually call a local junk yard and they will come and tow it away and pay you the fair market value. Depending on what model year it is, the junk yard may require a clean title.

How can you find a junkyard in your area that will pay cash for an old car?

I'm not sure about your area, but were I live(MN) most junk yards wont give you anything(pay for the towing to get it there at most). You are better of donating the car, usually a tech. college will take it and then you write it off for a tax rebait.Go to the yellow pages. Call the auto recyclers there. If the car will drive to the junk yard, you should expect it to have some value. If it must be towed, different yards may have different needs and may pay different prices if anything at all. If a yard needs your car, they should be willing to pay something for it. A friend just sold a repairable, but not very driveable 1994 jeep grand Cherokee for $500 to a junk yard. It needed $1000 to $2000 worth of transimission work, which the junk yard can easily do for $500 and sell the Jeep for $2,500 when finished.:Why give it away for free? Put it on Craigslist with a short description and couple of photos. BE HONEST about what's wrong with it, and someone will buy it no matter what's wrong with it (for parts or repair). The Yellow Pages as mentioned above is also a good second alternative, call around for the best offer, and some of them will negotiate. Or search for "junk car" from the homepage of your local Craigslist and find dozens of ads by people looking for unwanted non-running cars.


What does the your insurance company do to a car if it is totaled and you only have liability coverage?

If you caused the accident and you totaled your car and you only have liability insurance, your insurance company does not do anything to your car. The car was taken away by the tow truck driver. You may pay to haul it somewhere to be repaired or you may sell it to a junk yard. If the other driver caused the accident, then his insurance company buys your car. It still goes to a junk yard to be recycled. That way, however, you will get some money. Either way, you are entitled to get your personal stuff out of the car.

Any salvage yard should buy it for junk metal or parts. It isn't worth much other than the metal that holds it together.
