We Buy Damaged Cars for More Cash

Where can you sell your damaged car?

You can sell your car on any number of platforms:

• Cash for car services: Junk car services like Junk Car Medics specialize in damaged cars. When you choose the right service, the network that these services have built in the industry can make for a seriously good deal.
• Junkyards: Junkyards will buy your damaged vehicle and turn it into scrap. However, many salvage yards are looking to turn a quick buck, which means you end up getting charged anything from towing fees to processing fees.
• Online: There are plenty of used car sites that are designed to help you sell your car without the fuss. The rub is that these sites, including free ones like Craigslist, are largely made for cars that don't have major damage to them. Plus, the bigger-name sites may have fees both to list and complete the transaction.
• Word-of-mouth: Maybe you put a sign on the window letting people know it's for sale, or maybe you call local mechanics to see if they need something to practice on. You're essentially relying on other people to do the advertising for you.

Junkyards, online, and word-of-mouth sales may work for some people, but for the most part, it ends up being a lot of wasted time that could have been put to far better use.

Selling to a reputable damaged car buyer can make all the difference if you're looking to get rid of your damaged car. Junk Car Medics makes the process as simple as possible, partnering with towers all over the country to take out the stress and give you total peace of mind.

What types of damaged cars do we buy?

There are many ways a vehicle acquires damage. Certain types of damage will have more of a negative impact on the value of the car than others. Excessive damage from an accident makes the car more likely to be totaled, while something like hail damage can often be fixed for a reasonable price or through your insurance. The location and extent of the damage are what determines how hard it might be to sell your car. Junk Car Medics will buy your vehicle even if it has some of all of these types of damages.

Hail Damage

Hail damage usually isn't that serious enough to make you want to sell your car, but it can be the final straw in your decision. It may also cause private buyers to think twice about your car if they plan to do some mechanical work and keep it on the road. Hail damage can cost $2,000 or more to fix, depending on how many times your car was hit and the size of the hail. This is often more than an insurance deductible and might be a smart decision to use them to have it fixed. However, if you decide to sell it, you probably don’t want to haggle with someone about the hail damage.

Front-end Damage

Front-end damage from a collision can quickly total a car. The body parts in the front of the car are big and expensive, such as the hood, bumper, and fenders. If the damage extends beyond the bumper and hood, the money adds up fast when you have to replace a radiator, headlights, fan, battery, hoses, and the dozens of clips and bolts that hold everything together. Accidents involving the front end are often the messiest and most expensive because of all the parts and fluids that could be destroyed during the impact. 

Body Damage

Body damage separate from the front end can also become an expensive fix or simply be an eyesore that you live with as you continue driving your car. Getting rear-ended or in a fender bender can create damage that won’t affect the ability to drive but can seriously affect the value of the vehicle. Explaining these damages and haggling over the price can become a headache when it is time to sell it or trade it in at a dealership. Using Junk Car Medics ensures you the best offer for your vehicle and avoids the headache of low ball offers. 

Frame Damage

Frame damage is a serious issue that will total a car by itself. It would take a serious impact to cause frame damage, and often it is the result of rolling the car or a significant accident. It would be almost impossible to sell a car with frame damage except for a scrap or salvage vehicle. Dealing with salvage yards can be difficult and will usually gain you the lowest possible offer for your car. 

Window Damage

Have you ever parked near a baseball field and came outside to a shattered windshield? The baseball team or stadium is often nice enough to cover this, otherwise, you’ll find out a windshield replacement can range from $200-$800. This depends on the type of windshield and technology included. Side windows can be a couple of hundred dollars each, and in many accidents, more than one window may be broken. You can’t drive the car if you can’t see out of the windshield, but you can sell it to Junk Car Medics. 

Rust Damage

Rust damage occurs on cars when they are exposed to water consistently throughout the seasons. It is common in vehicles with high mileage that are in areas with more precipitation, especially snow and ice. The mixture of the water and the salt put on the roads to melt ice is a dangerous combination for metal. Rust will form on the frame, body panels, floorboards, and other metal areas in the car. 

Dents and Dings

Other dents and dings your car acquires throughout its life are inevitable. From door dings in the Wal-Mart parking lot to scratches from driving through some rugged terrain, everything takes its toll on the value of your car. Despite having some damage, you still deserve the easiest way to sell your car for the best price. Don’t waste your time and health stressing about selling a damaged car. You can call Junk Car Medics and get a quote and sell your car within a matter of days. 

Models include:

• Trucks (e.g., F-150s)
• Cargo vans
• SUVs (e.g., Grand Cherokees)
• Traditional sedans and coupes.

Your damaged car might be a clunker that's seen better days long before the major damage was done. Or it might be a relatively newer car that met its end after a bad accident. Because we know that damage comes in all shapes and sizes to even the most resilient of vehicles, Junk Car Medics makes it possible to offload the burden so it's easier to move forward.

When it comes to defining body damage, we consider it as anything larger than a baseball - regardless of what region of the car it affects . The extent of the damage will be taken into account when making an instant online order.

Understanding your damaged car's value

Honestly, if you don't work in the industry, it might not be all that easy to understand your damaged car's real value. The truth is that it can vary based on anything from scrap metal prices to who you sell your car to. Your car is made up of a variety of metal, with steel and iron accounting for about 65% of its heft.

A damaged car buyer is going to strip the metal so it can be recycled and turned into anything from another car to a new bridge. If the manufacturers have plenty of scrap without plenty of projects to go along with it, it will hurt the demand of scrap metal. In turn, this will hurt the demand of your damaged car.

There's no use quoting you the price of scrap metal today because it could very well change by tomorrow. Plus, things like location and mileage may factor into the equation too. The good news is that even at rock-bottom prices, certain make and models may still bring in more cash. In other words, a Lamborghini still has a higher net worth than a Toyota - even when it's totaled.
