We Pay Cash for Salvage Cars

Where can you sell your salvaged car?

Plenty of people will take your salvaged car off your hands:

• Junk car services: Cash-for-car sites like Junk Car Medics specialize in cars that are past their prime. From the offer to the tow truck, reputable services are known for smoothing out all the wrinkles when selling your salvaged car.
• Salvage yards: Called salvage yards because they work with the kind of car you're looking to sell, these places can be hit-and-miss. They may offer you a good deal or they might end up charging more than you think to tow the car and process the paperwork.
• Online: Undoubtedly you've seen people list their salvaged cars on sites like Craigslist. Or maybe you've seen other big-name sites that promise to make it easy to sell your used car. A lot of people with salvage titles might get roped into this, only to find that salvage cars don't exactly command top-dollar.
• Word-of-mouth: If you're old-school, you can try low-tech methods, like letting your friends know that you're trying to get rid of a car or sticking up a sign on the window with your phone number.

Of all the options above, junk car services like Junk Car Medics tend to be the most reliable. Why? Because these are companies that have built a reputation and, perhaps even more importantly, a reliable network of partners that can take your car when you need them to.

So instead of calling the wrong junkyard in your city, one that may give you less than the car is worth, you end up working with a professional in your area who will treat you fairly. It all works out to a lot less wasted time on your end, which can take all the stress out of getting rid of a salvage car.

Why sell your salvage car with Junk Car Medics?

We make everything easier for our customers:

• Online offer tools provide fast, convenient quotes with no pressure.
• You get fair market value for your vehicle.
• From start to finish, everything is streamlined.

Salvaged cars aren't in demand the same way that a traditional used car would be. They're considered to be far too risky for most people. The end result is plenty of low-ballers and casual buyers - and that's if you get any interest in your car at all.

Here's what else you should know about salvage cars:

• Kelley Blue Book states that it's common to deduct 40% of the car's value with a salvage title.
• Buyers are notorious for offering as little as possible to try and save money on the restoration costs of it.
• Junk Car Medicsgives you the best offer for your salvage car, and above all else, we make it easy to get off your property.

At Junk Car Medics, we know just how painstaking the process can be, particularly when you've probably got 15 other things on your to-do list at any given time. It's just not worth the effort to sell a salvage car on their own, which is why they turn to us for a little more assistance.

What types of damaged cars do we buy?

It would be a far shorter list if Junk Car Medics told you what we didn't buy. Because our organization is based largely on the value of the scrap metal, we rarely turn anything down. We accept vehicles of every size and shape, including:

• Cargo vans
• Trucks
• SUVs
• Sedans
• Coupes

There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, Junk Car Medics can take your salvage vehicle and turn it into cash for you.

No car is immune from serious damage, even brand-new ones that have just been driven off the lot. With us, we take into account every aspect of the car, pulling value where we can so you can get the most out of the deal.

How to sell your salvage car with Junk Car Medics?

It's a simple process with Junk Car Medics, one that you can start right away if you want:

Understanding your salvage car's value

You have a few traditional options when it comes to getting the most value out of your salvage car:

• Restore the vehicle: If you can pass inspections, you can get back on the road.
• Sell the parts: You might be able to get some serious dough for parts that were unaffected by the damage.
• Sell the car: While salvage cars aren't the most coveted vehicles on the planet, you might be able to find a father-son team that's ready for a new project.

For the most part, the first two options require the kinds of skills and empty schedule that most people just don't have. Not only will you need to have the tools and equipment to remove parts, or in some cases, replace them, you'll need to ensure that all the work you do will meet the standards of your state.

Junk Car Medics looks largely to the price of scrap steel and iron to determine the value of your car, also known as about 65% of the vehicle's weight. This can be frustrating for some sellers, particularly when the prices for scrap haven't been as robust as everyone might have liked.

Recycled metal used to be more of a 'thing' in the past, with China buying like crazy for all kinds of new projects. Lately, that interest has cooled some in recent years, which has made an impact on the market.

The prices of scrap metal can turn on a dime, so there's no use making any kind of promises in this section. What we can say is that we'll look at every available avenue to get you the most from your car. Your make and model might be more in-demand than others, which will net you more in cash.
